This week we're joined by Thuly to talk about Quintet's Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma, along with Granstream Saga. Often considered part of a loose thematic series called "Heaven and Earth" the games deal a with a lot of similar ideas of creation and destruction, usually with some great tunes to go along with them. Some more pedantic people will say Granstream Saga doesn't count, and maybe it doesn't, but I don't see the game ever coming up in our regular rotation so why not talk about it here? Anyway, enjoy!
