After replaying the game for collect all 50 gems, I felt a little dissapointed, I dont know what I expect, but clearly not that .

I expected something like another will's form, or IDK , but not another dungeon lol

It was okay, but it was essentially just a harder version of Daimond Mine.

When I was younger, Jeweler's Mansion was really rough, but now that I've mastered Psycho Slider and Psycho Spin I can beat the whole thing almost without getting hit. What really sucks is that you don't get anything for beating every enemy in the room. No STR, DEF, or HP at all. And I always seem to forget that and kill everything thinking I'll get a STR and the very least.

They do give you an herb, but my inventory is always full of those useless things. (hasn't used an herb in the game in nearly ten years)

The reward for the secret boss is just bragging rights. That's on par with "Congraturations".

Just like that shitty Fighters Pass they gave you in FF8 when you beat the hidden boss. Just bragging rights.

True, but the difference is you didn't spend the entire game building up suspense on the wonder that was Omega Weapon. He was just an optional boss you could access if you did a bit of work in the final dungeon.

You spent the entire game collecting Red Jewels wondering, from the first town, what "My Secrets" could be. Such a let down.

Not for me. Being I still like SB better than IoG, it was a nice (sort of) surprise to see him- especially since he was a hell of alot harder here than in SB. Also, the various SB references were great.

Well. Sure glad I didn't waste my time with that objective in Wind Waker.

Hey, isn't the pleasure of helping out the emotionless figure of 1's and 0's worth all the time and energy?

The first time I completed IoG 18 years ago (I was 10 then), I thought.... "What, is this IT?" As you say, just a harder version of Diamond Mine really, and you don't even get an extra stat jewel for all the effort taken to beat it.

I do think that it should've given you something more - a stat jewel at the very least, maybe unlocked a bonus attack for use in the final battle against the Comet and Dark Gaia, or maybe unlocked the chance to choose to play the final battle as Freedan or Will instead. That would've been pretty cool, taking on Dark Gaia with Will's kick-ass flute instead. ^_^

And I've never used a herb in the game - ever. Except a few facing Gem at teh end, I've never used any in the rest of the game in all the times I've played it through.

Herbs are not used cause you cant buy herbs. I think its the main reason .
