From humble beginnings to distant worlds: How JRPGs changed my life

"Whilst my love of JRPGs began with the games, the personal growth they helped to unlock and the experiences tied to that will always make them my favorite genre," writes Andrew McKissock in his debut article for Game Freaks 365.

I love JRPGs. Played FFIV when I was a kid and didn't stop ever since. I can't see myself living without playing JRPGs and enjoying rich stories with huge worlds and amazing characters, I love it all

specialguest1532d ago

I also started with FFIV as a kid. It's amazing how a game with 16bit sprite characters, memorable music, and a good story with good character development could fill me with different emotions. When Cecil became a paladin, Polom and Parom's sacrifice, Kain's betrayal, and Rydia's going from a weak child to realizing her full potential

JRG's were great until the character design started becoming too anime and with voice acting. The stories became overly convoluted and well.. just plain dumb.

Did you come up with that yourself? So clever. How original.

Maybe you should use the comments section for offering your opinion on the subject matter or discussing others opinion rather than snarky remarks that lack substance. Perhaps you can’t conjure up an original thought because you speak only as an echo chamber for old memes?

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda24d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5251d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212151d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5250d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5250d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani50d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum51d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman51d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim51d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

I disagree Batman
