Impaler26: I'm currently playing 3 Stars of Destiny from Aldorlea Games. It's a nice oldschool SNES style RPG, starts out pretty easy but the enemies get tougher after a while so it ain't no cakewalk even on easy.
So far i played ~12 hours over the weekend and i'm enjoying it. This will be one of the few games i'll play to the end. :)
The only Aldorlea game i've played so far was Millenium. I haven't finished it yet (i've played it for 16 hours or something), but so far i'm not enjoying it. I love JRPGs, but this one just didn't catch me, there are just too many flaws that prevent me from enjoying it. So far i played ~12 hours over the weekend and i'm enjoying it.

My biggest complaint so far is how fucking obscure the side quests are. No, i don't want the game to hold my hand or anything, but most side quests don't give you any information about how to complete them. Side quests just say "collect X item" and don't give you any indication of where to find it. You would have to explore the whole world and click in every tiny pixel to find it by yourself. That's probably the first time i've seen pixel hunting mechanics in a JRPG. No, just no, that's some fucking horrible game design right there.
