I've been hovering over this game for over 5 years. I really love how it's perfectly bringing back the SNES MMX style, soundfonts and everything. The music even rivals a lot of the X series OST itself, barring perhaps the first game which had the best OST in my opinion.
This game is being so lovingly made that the only area I don't have high expectations in is the overworld design itself. It's supposed to be Metroidvania/perhaps MMZ? style, and that kind of thing can be pretty hard to do fluidly. As long as it's passable, though, I'm satisfied. The sprite designs, enemies, bosses, and AIs and all the other stuff I've seen can potentially more than make up for that aspect.
The most recent video—the Crystal Rafflar stage demo—is definitely where I've started to be sold on the idea that this might actually be a really good game, rather than just a really good effort.
