Terranigma - Creation of Heaven and Earth (Tenchi Souzou for
those critical of Japanese names which translates to "Genesis") is
a little known gem published by Enix and Nintendo (Developed by
Quintet). Some say that this is the last of a trilogy of two other
games: Soul Blazer and Illusion of Gaia. Each we're produced by
Enix and share a similar gameplay. This is not true, however, each
of the games are loosely tied. Terranigma was released on October
20, 1995 in Japan, December 19, 1996 in Europe, and the game was
unfortunately not released in the United States.
Assuming the role of Ark, you set out on an adventure to restore
the continents of the world. An epic story reveals the game to not
only be a fun experience, but an enlightening one as well. The
score, produced by Miyoko Kobayashi and Masanori Hikishi is an
incredible assortment of music tracks comparable to the Final
Fantasy Series and as qualitative as tracks on some Playstation
games.
