Before we go any further, I want to make clear that these numbers were pulled out of Wikipedia (in large part), so some of these tallies might be either inaccurate or not up to date. An example of this is the Assassin’s Creed sales tally. The game had sold 155 million units prior to Assasin’s…
How often have we asked ourselves the following questions: Why are there so few Turn-Based console RPGs these days? Why did Final Fantasy ditched turn-based combat?

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age was a wonderful game. For me, it was my very first experience with the Dragon Quest franchise, and I honestly fell in love. I instantly felt like I missed out on years of wonderful JRPGs. I honestly don’t know what took me so long to give this…
