Continuing with another Final Fantasy VII cast member, this week we wanted to look at Vincent Valentine. As one of the optional characters for Final Fantasy VII, he is unfortunately easy to miss and doesn’t have a huge amount of story in the game. However, thanks to additional titles like Dirge of Cerberus and Advent…

Top 5 Best JRPGs For The PlayStation 2 According To Metacritic
We’ve already covered the first half of the top ten JRPGs for the PlayStation as well as the second half according to Metacritic. This week, we are going to be looking at the top 5 JRPGs for the PlayStation 2 based on Metascores. Like the PlayStation, the PlayStation 2 had some powerhouse JRPGs so let’s…
Throwback Bit Thursday: Tales of Legendia
The Tales series, against all odds, remains one of the few long running J-RPG series still standing tall on home consoles. With 17 main entries, some titles will receive more of a spotlight than others. One title that is not often talked about when discussing the series is the PS2’s Tales of Legendia. Personally, Legendia…
New Pokémon Snap: Smile You’re On Camera
I never had the privilege to play the original Pokémon Snap, but I am certainly enjoying my time with New Pokémon Snap. This is a side of Pokémon you never really get to explore in the main entries of the series. Yes, lately they’ve gotten better with animating them into the overworld, but this game…
Final Fantasy VII’s Aerith: The Last Cetra
With a cast like Final Fantasy VII‘s, and most Final Fantasy games, there are plenty of characters to choose from. I’ve already talked about Tifa and Cait Sith, so this week, I wanted to talk about Aerith. The Last Cetra Aerith’s life had been filled with turmoil and despair from the moment she was born….

This week, we are going to take a look at the next five on the list, wrapping up the top 10 best-rated JRPGs for the PlayStation console. Final Fantasy Chronicles – Metascore 89 Okay, so this game compilation technically…
Throwback Bit Thursday: Arc The Lad II
Arc the Lad I and II, were some of the earliest PlayStation RPGs released in Japan. As such, they resembled SNES RPGs visually, and in their primitive character development. The biggest problem for these games is that it took Working Designs over 6 years to bring them to our shores as part of the Arc…
What Went Wrong: Nintendo 64 Edition
Nintendo 64 At first glance, the Nintendo 64’s inclusion into our “What Went Wrong” series seems a bit odd. The Nintendo 64 finished in the second place of the 5th generation of consoles (sales wise), had incredible first (and second party) software sales numbers, and some of the greatest games ever made as part of…
Final Fantasy VII’s Cait Sith: A Debate Of Character
Final Fantasy is definitely a series full of interesting, if not odd, characters. Often considered to be a useless or filler character, Cait Sith is certainly both odd and interesting. However, I do not think he is useless or filler and I wanted to take this week as an opportunity to dive into why. Cait…
Bravely Default II: The First 50 Hours
I have been picking away at Bravely Default II since its release back in February and I have to say, it has been wonderful. This classic JRPG has given me everything I could ever want from an RPG and more. The more I play and explore, the more I fall in love with this title….
