@Beetlebum91 Totally, that's Mario for sure. Although, I think exploring the franchise in the form of a narrative driven RPG is the perfect place to tackle "the psychology of a goomba", to quote Back Page Pod, if they are ever going to! An RPG without a story and good characters may as well not be an RPG in the first place.
Fantastic article. I've been a big fan of this game since it originally launched in 2004 and was sad to learn this was erased from the original English language version (of course, I didn't know at the time). The quality of the characters and writing are what stand out the most to me in regard to Thousand Year Door, so it's nice to see that improving even more to represent minority groups. Love Vivian and this more modern, adult take on the characters of Mario's world.
