An Underrated Atlus Classic
If you've ever wondered where the dating sim aspects of Persona 3 may have been inspired by, look no further. At the time of release in Japan in 1998, Thousand Arms was a revolutionary take on traditional JRPGs by introducing a crafting system, as well as a dating mechanic. The game was developed by the now defunct Red Company, and published by Atlus. It wouldn't be until 2006 with the release of Persona 3 on the PS2 until we would see the return of a similar concept with the introduction of social links, which has now cemented itself as a staple of the series.
Thousand Arms is often overlooked, it's a shame too, but not unexpected given the little exposure it may have had in the states upon release. To anyone interested in playing a retro JRPG filled with charm for the PSOne, I'd highly suggest looking into this one. I'm just glad I can physically own this game outside of emulation. Unfortunately, due to licensing issues, this game will likely never see a digital rerelease on PSN in the future.
My advice would be to track down a preowned copy for a reasonable price, preferably in good condition. I managed to get this in near new condition with the manual and original case intact for 59.99.
I have no regrets about my purchase.
