Ah, Grandia II. Your battle system is one of the best in the JRPG world, and your coming-of-age stories and themes of exploration are as timeless as the genre itself. Your battle music is among the finest in the world, and this theme is my particular favorite. It’s one of the reasons why I was…
1998. Fresh off the success of Final Fantasy VII, Squaresoft partners with Electronic Arts to become Square Electronic Arts LLC, and that means MORE GLORIOUS NIPPON ROLE PLAYING GAMES! One of the first titles to drop during this partnership was Parasite Eve. It combined guns, free movement, and the Square ATB system! Fun! And the…
Numbers 9 and 8 on my JRPG battle theme countdown both come from Namco’s “Tales” franchise. The franchise doesn’t have a big fanbase as Final Fantasy, but I bet you that the fanbase is just as fervent, if not more so than their counterparts from Square, Capcom….maybe not Atlus. #9 is “Drawing! Grind!” from Tales of…
A geek-centric post. Haven’t done one of those in a while. I can’t abandon our geek audience, right? That would majorly suck. Anywhoo, I’ve decided to count down my favorite Japanese RPG battle themes. These were the conditions of my selections: 1. The game had to developed in Japan. 2. The game had to play…
This is getting ridiculous. Since I’ve been gaming, I’ve never killed anyone, shot anyone, used Omnislash on Sephiroth, thrown hadoukens at Sakura, casted Cure on Rinoa, stomped on a goomba, killed Dracula, fought Metal Gear Rex in an abandoned missile disposal facility on Shadow Moses Island, and…. You get the picture. There is no link…
Creepy-ass tonberries. With their stabby knives, beady eyes, and….lamp. Well. I’ve got something for you. Say hello to my little friends.
Assassin’s Creed 3? The game experience was good, but the game doesn’t hint at any closure at all. Well, sorta. After beating the game I felt…unsatisfied. If they’re planning on releasing sequels to ACIII, then…. GODDAMNIT UBISOFT, STOP THAT SHIT AND JUST FINISH THE DAMN STORY! In the end, Assassin’s Creed 2 is still my…
The sound of a rocking chair fills the room you’re sitting in. The creaks start getting louder, almost enveloping the area. Then…this song drops. Now you’re sitting inside the cockpit of a Timber Wolf mech. You’re armed to the teeth with a bunch of LRM’s, a few Pulse Lasers, a PPC cannon or two, and…
….he must be asleep. Or he’s at work? Neggy? You there? …… Okay, here goes. Normally, Neggy’s the one to handle anything Capcom related, but I figure I’ll fill in for now. I have no idea why the fuck I’m awake anyway. Since two of Capcom’s most popular IP’s are celebrating their 25th anniversaries, Capcom…
I know i’m probably late to this but the word on the street is that Capcom trademarked the title ‘Fighters of Capcom‘. If you know anything about me by now, it’s probably something to do with my chronic cycle of reflection mirror/window checking or the fact that I go ape shit over anything involving Capcom….
