Illusion Of GaiaIllusion of Gaia was an role-playing game (RPG) released on January 1, 1994 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Illusion of Gaia is the second game in the Soul Blazer series (Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia, Terranigma). As in the other games in this series, the character ends up literally changing the face of the world as he progresses. The main character of Illusion of Gaia is Will, a boy from South Cape, living with his grandparents. It is the age of exploration (sometime in the 16th century. Columbus is mentioned at least once), and explorers have begun exploring many of the ancient ruins around the world, looking for treasure and secrets. Many return with nothing, and some don't return at all. Will's father was one of these explorers, who disappeared a year prior to the beginning of the game while exploring the Tower of Babel. Somehow Will managed to make it back, but he doesn't remember how. When the game begins, He stumbles into a "Dark Space," where he meets "Gaia," who tells him that he must leave South Cape and save the world from a coming evil. A comet is approaching, which brings ill fortune to the world. As he travels, Will gains the ability to change into two other warriors, each with special powers: Freedan, a knight, and Shadow, a form of solid fire. The game contains several real-world sites, such as Incan ruins, the Nazca lines, Angkor Wat, the Great Wall of China, and Egyptian pyramids. Each of these hold a piece of the final puzzle, unveiled at the Top of the Infamous Tower of Babel. Illusion of Gaia was scored by Yasuhiro Kawasaki. The European version was named Illusion of Time. Characters Will The main character of the game. Will takes on many forms; however this is most likely his true form. It is also the form that he goes through most of the game in when he is not in a hostile area. A young man from South Cape, Will was born with psychic powers. While his ability at the start of the game is limited to small amounts of ESP as well as the ability to draw certain statues towards him, he gains more powerful abilities later. Freedan and Shadow Freedan is a dark knight and Shadow is a humanoid construction of energy. Will has the ability to take on the shape of these two beings by utilizing statues of them in the Dark Space. It is unknown if Will simply takes the forms of these beings, if he is actually replaced by them and takes their place as a statue for brief times, or if they are spirits who possess him and use him as an avatar. Whatever the means, these beings are completely benevolent to Will during the game despite their fearsome nature.
