IS 2 BETTER THAN 1? Kingdom Hearts, what began as a weird experiment between Square and Disney, turned into a multi million dollar game that ultimately, led Nomura to be Square’s leading man, and might have driven the FF series as we knew it to oblivion. Kingdom Hearts was a commercial success and to a…
The Xbox while lacking in the Japanese RPG department, features the best selection of western RPGs to be found in any console system, with Jade Empire. BioWare the developers behind the excellent Star Wars KOTOR, deliver what can possibly be described as the best RPG on XBOX to date and perhaps at this stage, of…
Tri-Ace is in my opinion perhaps the best all around traditional RPG developer there is, all of their games usually get good scores from yours truly, and in this ill fated generation of consoles (at least for us J-RPGs fans) they have been the only developer in Square/Enix that has managed to keep their high…
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.

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…

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…
Fire Emblem was released on the GBA in 2004 by the hand of Nintendo of America Starting off The game starts basic enough, for a strategy RPG, giving the option to begin the game as one of three characters. It is one of the most basic strategy RPG games that I have played. In this…
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…
