Angelus Victor said: The critically acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV. For years, this MMO has triumphed as one of the best of the genre. An impressive feat—especially considering its beginnings. Heck, you couldn’t name a better zero from hero story than the fall and rise of Version 1.0, dare I say.
Now, I have dabbled into Final Fantasy XIV. Many times, as a matter of fact. But always ended up dropping it for one reason or another. Still, after a group of close friends gifted me the Complete Edition and offered to help me get through it, I thought to myself: Maybe now is the time.
Today Square Enix announced that it will be testing travel in Final Fantasy XIV between Data Centers of different regions, with a major caveat.
Oh the smallest population server that's oce, let's see what they add for us!
* Characters with a Home World in the Oceanian data center will be unable to travel to a different physical data center.
Sweet.
Other nominees include games like SimCity & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
There are some good nominees in this list that are deserving to be inducted also, but I feel Metroid has had the most impact on the industry out of all of these. Look how Metroid influenced the evolution of the Castlevania games, and the "Metroidvania" subgenre of games have become a prevailing force in gaming today. Especially now, Metroidvanias are bigger than ever.
I can very much see Resident Evil being added later too, bc it really did popularize and define the survival horror genre. I would say that one is next in line.
If any Metroid game should get the honor it should be Super Metroid , it's perfection in my eyes . 30 years later and I still feel it's the most epic shit ever .
The GBA remake deserves it or Super Metroid, the original was a very sloppy and rushed game programmed in 3 months and it shows.
If you've never played the remake, it's absolutely a must play, fixes basically every flaw in the game. Check out ExoParadigmGamer's comparison video.
