The turn of the millennium was a momentous occasion. Doomsday nuts thought the world would end and that computer equipment would suffer catastrophic failures. The year 2000 also brought us the strongest year in gaming since 1998. How strong was the year 2000? All-time great game classics such as Vagrant Story, Chrono Cross, Skies…
It is well known that except for The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, and now Elden Ring, Western RPGs rule the gaming world in terms of sales. Square Enix is a successful company, but its Final Fantasy series has fallen off its “king of the hill” perch over the last two decades with newer RPG games…
A few days ago, one of our readers and group members suggested that we should work on a section about retro games and the reasoning behind their high prices. We thought the idea was good. After all, as a JRPG focused site, we know all too well the growing pains of grabbing some genuine 32-bit…

Thus, the news of a delay for its sequel has caused some disappointment amongst fans. Nintendo Shares Drop 6% After News The…
By my reckoning, 1998 is the greatest year in gaming history. No other year had or has had as many great games released within it. In 1998, the Nintendo 64 continued its trend of having a historically great game and taking the best game of the year awards (for the 3rd year in a row)….
The Legend of Dragoon fans have had a rough two decades awaiting a sequel, or even a prequel, for the cult classic. However, the wait is over. It seems that the game’s rich lore will receive a much-needed prequel in the form of an unlicensed title. Legend of Dragoon Director, Masayuki Kasebe, confirmed the rumors…
Elden Ring’s success (of selling 12 million units within 2 weeks of its launch) has piqued both Sony’s and Microsoft’s interest in the Japanese developer.
