So, it is hard to believe, but it has been a quarter century since 1998. I have very fond memories, perhaps my fondest memories, as a gamer are from that year. While most of my time was spent playing (oh blessed days!) WCW/NWO Revenge, Ocarina of Time, and Golden Eye. I did play some JRPGs…
So, give it or take, Final Fantasy XVI has sold about 3 million copies, as we quickly approach its first month of sales.

The second, that Nomura’s nonsensical approach to story telling had turned Final Fantasy VII’s original Sci-Fi/Fantasy tour de force into a…
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a continuation of Breath of the Wild’s gigantic world, and powerful engine.
