Septerra Core? Damn that takes me back. It was like a western JRPG on PC. A friend loaned it to me and while I wouldn't exactly call it a hidden gem, it was really underrated. I think it came in a dual pack with SHOGO MAD. Same friend also gave me the adventure game Beyond Atlantis. That one was shitty for a game but it was another example of a female protag and we never thought about that being odd at the time.
I was a young kid when I played Septerra Core, it was the first high fantasy JRPG style game I've ever played and it was amazing. I would probably not like it today, I do not remember gameplay wise to be good. I'm not a fan of the final fantasy type combat. I did like the magic combos. I remember how amazing it was to discover that you could combine spell cards.
But to the point, it was a great game with a female character but no one on the Anita side would even acknowledge that this type of games existed for a long time.
I loved that game's worldbuilding and the art style, it was so delightfully different from anything else I'd played up to that point.
Too bad they tried to stretch the playtime with those stupid fucking mazes, especially in the second half of the game IIRC. Those were just outright painful. I ended up following a guide to get through them.
Also that game had a funny murderbot party member years before KOTOR.
I forgot about the reprogramed robot. The characters in that game were so interesting when I played them.
You had an assassin guy with robot arms, a cute shy blond girl that had robot legs, giant robot dog etc. Interesting characters all around, I hope it never gets a "modern day" remake.
On the same note of interesting companions Planescape Torment, another game that does not need a remake. I would love a graphic upgrade but I would rather play it as is then get butchered in HD.
