If someone ever makes a Crystar mod that cuts dungeons from 3 floors to 1 and keeps everything else the same that might be a game I'd recommend.

It's also interesting that I think the developer did have an inkling that the dungeons were too big, there's optional "grinding" stages that are exactly as I described with 1/3 of the size and they flow so, so much better.

Crymachina is better in this regard?

Much better.

Combat is faster paced and way more fun, dungeons are shorter (maybe even too short) and the enemies are more interesting, there aren't really any "mobs", they are all sort of mini-bosses that you need to be careful around as they hit really hard. It also hit a nice spot of being challenging without being too hard - I got a few game overs but it never got to the point where I was frustrated by the difficulty.

When I finished the main story for Crymachina I was thinking "I could still keep playing this for a while before I got bored of the gameplay" despite replaying several stages for extra gear/XP.
