Description

The Illusion of Gaia is one of three games in a trilogy by Enix, also including Terranigma and Soul Blazer. You control Will, an orphan who lives with his grandparents in South Cape. Truly an action-RPG, Will ventures on a journey to find his missing father, with the initial help of a local princess. Will also has a talent to transform into other people: one, an older warrior named Freedan, and the other, an etherial person named Shadow. Join will as he travels to Incan ruins, the Nazca plains, the ancient city of Mu, the Great Wall of China, Angkor Wat, the pyramids of Giza, the Tower of Babel, and beyond, in this graphically revolutionary action-RPG.

Trivia

Collecting all 50 Red Gems opens up a special level, the boss of which is a much harder version of Solid Arm, the first boss of Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia's prequel. In fact, when defeated, he says "Blazer was strong, but you are stronger".
