, which even has the same acclaimed composer, Yasunori Mitsuda, in a guest role.
Luckily other European players were getting their hands on these classic games without too much waiting - and some of those players went on to develop games of their own that were deeply influenced by the JRPGs they once played and loved. Aside from Chrono Cross, his list of influences are: Secret of Mana, Lufia, Secret of Evermore, Final Fantasy VII, Xenogears, Xenosaga, and more. A particularly interesting game he mentions is Terranigma, which is distinctive amongst other classics mentioned here in that it had a release in Europe but not America.

My friends and I got to"try" a lot of games as I'd buy them from work, play them for a bit and then just get my mate on the till to refund them. We also got to see the discount lists super early, so when the PS2 came out I hoovered up a ton of weird PS1 games for 99p before they even went out on the shelves.
He didn't just take heed of classic Japanese games: there is some influence of his British upbringing in his game too."Noa and Ryder are really just two english scallies, and Uncle Guin is very much based on a British playboy from the 60s a la Peter Cushing and David Niven."
