Simple. I don't like Illusion of Gaia and I think it's poorly designed in some respects. When I first got to the first boss, I had already used up all my herbs and I couldn't beat him. After many, many tries, I restarted from the beginning, and saved some herbs and managed to get past him. But then, the same thing happened again when I got to the Vampires bosses, and at that point, I didn't want to do all the previous dungeons all over again, especially not Mu since that took me a long time to get through. I just wish you could always buy at least one herb.

I only played a little of Might & Magic on an emulator (I've tried lots of NES games that way), but I had more fun with the first town alone than I did with all of Gaia. Might & Magic is not really my "thing", but I have some respect for it.
