[Console RPG] [Late-90s-ish] 2D Final Fantasy-style RPG with a solid cube/diamond-shaped airship
This one has been driving me nutso for years now... Early days tried Google, now even AI ain't helping. Much gratitude to anyone here that can crack it. Apologies as my memory is horrible...
Pretty sure its NOT any FF games, Breath of Fire, The Legend of Dragoon, Dragon Quest
Platform(s): Console — I owned NES, Genesis, PS1, and PS2, so likely one of those
Genre: 2D top-down party-based JRPG, very Final Fantasy-like, lined-up turn-based battles
Estimated year of release: Probably late 1990s
Graphics/art style: 2D sprites, top-down overworld
Notable details:
- Party of multiple characters; sea pirates feature in the story
- You get a flying vehicle late in the game that's faster than earlier travel
- The airship is the thing I remember most clearly: a solid cube or square balanced on one corner so it looks like a diamond**, with** animated tracing lines of light on it. No wings — just a geometric solid you fly fast around the overworld
- I may be mixing in another game, but I vaguely recall a party member/creature that could be flown on earlier in the game. My memory was a dragon but not certain
