Then again, as I haven't touched a Mario game since the SNES (or the emulation thereof), I might be a tad behind the times on this front. Mario is our classic Heroic Mute.), but there are other offenders. They occurs mostly when Mario or Luigi are "talking" (only Luigi has speaking lines. The voice-overs that the game uses are really annoying to me. I also heard the odd Final Fantasy tune thrown in for good measure, if one wishes to call it thus. The Music directory has three hundred some-odd files, mostly MIDIs, and some of them are tunes I recognize from Mario games. Or, at the very least, have some kind of reference to the Nintendo mascot's SNES/NES platforming exploits. Audio: Considering the title, I was half-expecting to hear tunes from Super Mario RPG (the SNES title) in some kind of form. Regardless of their origin, the graphics fit well with the subject matter at hand. Then again, perhaps the use of the term "tile" is not correct, as there's more than a few maps that seem to use panorama as their maps. Graphics: I don't think I saw a single RTP tile, but I could be horribly mistaken. Read the "Overall entertainment" section (or the end of the "Gameplay" section) to understand the reasoning why I quit. On observing that there's chapter transition graphics for 16 chapters, I must assume to have missed about three-quarters of the game. For full disclosure, I went as far as I had the patience for (Chapter 3). I did not play to the finale of this game. However, I wanted future players to be aware of what the goings-on there are of this game. Granted, this is probably not a huge hoop to go through for some, and has no real effect on the review. I would personally prefer, at the very least, a direct download for version 1.60, then have the option to patch to version 1.61. There was a patch to upgrade directly from version 1.50 to the latest version, 1.61. That page had me download version 1.50, and had an extensive list of patches. For one thing, the download wasn't even on RMN, but someplace else. Getting this game in it's most updated form was somewhat annoying. I was looking at the database for completed games that had a lot of downloads that didn't have a review yet, and came across this ditty. Game Title: Super Mario RPG - The Seven Sages Engine: RPG Maker 2K3 Status at review: Completed Background: In the spirit of the latest iteration of the one-to-many review challenge, I was looking for games to review.
