Growlanser II: The Sense of Justice is part of the newest Working Designs RPG compilation on the market, which is named Growlanser Generations. The package includes the aforementioned game, and Growlanser III: The Dual Darkness. Why Growlanser 1 wasn’t included in this compilation, is anyone’s guess. But I will not dwell into that here. Working…
The Granstream Saga is an RPG that every time I play (I have played through it 4 times now) angers me, because it is a game that had loads of potential to achieve greatness but the developers never seemed to followed through with their great ideas. The Granstream Saga was released in Japan in 1997…
It’s all about pedigree When faced with the decision of purchasing either Grandia III or Kingdom Hearts 2 a few weeks ago, the choice was easy and simple to make. Kingdom Hearts ( I have yet to write the review) in my book rates as an 8.5 game, which is not bad, in fact its…
Grandia II is the sequel to the Saturn/PS1 RPG classic, Grandia. The orginal title is remembered by many as one of the best RPGs to ever grace a console. Consequently, Grandia II had some ‘Grand’ shoes to fill indeed. Fortunately, for fans of the first game, a worthy sequel it is, even if it falls…
Grandia was Sega Saturn’s answer to the PS’s FFVII, it was an RPG that was promised to eclipse any RPG before it, and while it’s not as good as FFVII, it comes close and it is one of those few RPGs that can be defined as a classic. Being that the Saturn was almost on…
THE DEATH OF FINAL FANTASY AS WE LOVED IT This has been one of the hardest reviews for me to write since the beginning of my RPG site in 2003. It’s not that Final Fantasy XIII has left me with mixed confused feelings because it hasn’t I have a clear understanding after 56 hours with…
THE SERIES TURNING POINT After ten entries in the longest, and greatest traditional RPG series ever (FFXI doesn’t count) I approached FFXII, the eleventh game in this series, with doubt, and even dread. No longer was the series helmed by the wise Hironobu Sakaguchi, and almost no one (Ito being an exception) who had worked…
Final Fantasy X‘s ending while excellent and very cinematic, left a lot of us wondering about Tidus’ fate. Yet, when I finished that game around two years ago, I felt that its ending had been a great one, and that as much as some people wanted a sequel, I was satisfied with FFX as it…
Final Fantasy X is a masterpiece, in fact the game is so amazing, that calling it a ‘game’ is unfair, because Final Fantasy X is not a game, instead Final Fantasy X is an experience. The best part of Final Fantasy X is its love story; thus I’ll save the best for the last. So,…
Going by expectations FFIX was supposed to be the finest chapter on the series. Square has done with FFIX what they failed to do with FFVIII. They gave us a great RPG that may not surpass FFVII in my eyes, but does enough to stand tall alongside of it. Which means: Yes, go out and…
