1999 was a huge year for RPGs, games like FFVIII, Grandia, Suikoden 2 and Lunar, all were released in that year. So it is forgivable that most of you missed a great RPG, (an argument can be made by some that the game was the best RPG of that year) by the name of Star…
Soul Calibur had been a great weapon-based fighter for the Dreamcast and arcades everywhere. My friends still play it… all of the combos, stunning graphics, great story, and something to work for (secret characters and alternate costumes). The sequel is just as capturing, and that much better. I would never have thought that a fighter…
The Last Great RPG From Sega Skies of Arcadia, will most probably be remembered as the last great RPG to appear on a Sega console, and perhaps maybe the last great RPG from Sega itself. This is a lofty position to be in as Skies of Arcadia is the last great RPG in a lineage…
Shadow of the Colossus is the closest thing I have played to 1998’s GREAT The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, in this generation. Colossus, is innovative, huge, and simply a work of art. It also features a guy with a sword, a bow and Arrows, that rides on a horse across the open fields….
In the PS2 era developer Level-5 established itself as one of the more reliable teams when it came to delivering console RPG goodness. Dark Cloud and its sequel were well received by critics, and the talented team was chosen to help flesh out Dragon Quest VIII for the PS2. In 2006 they released what will…
I was never a big fan of the Resident Evil games, I did finish Resident Evil 2 and RE: Code veronica, but even then, while I still consider RE: 2 a classic, the games were far from flawless. Graphically, the games always did the trick; I will never forget how awesome Code Veronica first looked…
Radiata Stories is alongside Dragon Quest VIII as Square/Enix’ newest poster boy. RS was developed by Tri-Ace a team which I personally believe is the best that Square/Enix has at its disposal. Yeah Tri-Ace is the studio responsible for the great Star Ocean 3 which might be the best damn Japanese RPG in this generation….
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue is a classic masterpiece, and in my opinion a game that has aged a bit better than FFVI. Lunar 2 is not only Working Designs greatest imported game but also master RPG developer Game Arts’ greatest RPG ever. Yes, some may claim that Game Arts’ Grandia is their biggest and mightiest…
THE FIRST AND THE FINEST Released for the Sega CD in 1992, Lunar: Silver Star Story was Game Arts’ first RPG title (and its best), and while the game seemed destined for obscurity thanks to sparse sales of Sega CD units, master publisher (now defunct), Working Designs, was kind enough to bring the game back…
Final Fantasy XI? Ever since Final Fantasy’s creator, Hironobu Sakaguchi, decided to leave (might have been forced to resign after the catastrophic failure of Final Fantasy Spirits Within at the box office) Squaresoft to create his own gaming studio Mistwalker, expectations for his “NEXT” big game had been high. While I found blue Blue Dragon…
