TGC writes: Playing a JRPG (or a number of any style of RPGs) can be a strange experience when you step back and look at it in context with reality. These are fantasy worlds, so by strange I don’t mean the inclusion of the fantastical elements; the magical powers, bizarre looking characters and dragons. On a much more mundane level, the way everyone in the world appears is odd. The lives of the citizens of Final Fantasy VII appear to do little more than stand in one spot, and repeat the same lines whenever approached by the stories hero (aka you).
There are simple reasons for this and why it shouldn’t be a problem. The world is – as stated – a world of fantasy and therefore certain liberties can be taken with realism, and technological limitations mean that the many mostly insignificant inhabitants are restricted to only the most basic existence. As technology increases so does the scope of what is possible, but many of the traits of JRPGs are becoming considered outdated, such as turn based and random battles, is something of the spirit of these games being changed? Perhaps the limitations of the past helped create a unique language for the JRPG that is a part of their quality.
Many games have come and gone as gaming began its illustrious history in this world. So let's talk about the top 100 video games of all time!
Yeah. That’s the first I’ve seen it anywhere near #1.
Mario 64 is great but I wouldn’t put it over Mario World.
Sorry lol. I wrote the article but 5 of us voted for many different games and majority went on the list then we worked on the list. If it were just my personal top favorite we'd seen some xenoblade and star ocean as well as some others. Thanks for checking out it!
CGMagazine narrowed down some of the best reviews of the year to name our top 10 games, and ultimately CGMs Game of the Year 2024!
Nearly 27 years after the original game's release, Final Fantasy 7 superfan Jamie Colliver has finished his magnum opus: A shot-for-shot remake of the original PlayStation 1 game, created entirely via LittleBigPlanet 2. Colliver's remake reimagines the original game as a platformer, with every scene, every location, every line of dialogue, and every song from the game's OST painstakingly implemented .
He should have done it in Dreams though, the limitations of having done it in LBP are obvious.
ah Dreams had so much potential, I think they should have released it on PC. one can only dream about dreams sale and popularity on PC. PC has modding/creative crowd and I think it would have been a hit
