With releases of Shiren: The Wanderer, Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja 2, and now Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon, 2008 is certainly shaping up to be the year of the Roguelike. Let's hope it lasts. For now though, we have Chocobo's Dungeon which is the true sequel to the PlayStation game, Chocobo's Dungeon 2.
In this spin-off of the Final Fantasy franchise, Cid and Chocobo are treasure hunters looking for the gem of Timeless power. However, they end up transported to a mysterious town where no one can recollect much of anything thanks to a bell tower that seems to erase the minds of anyone who hears its chime. It's up to Chocobo to delve into the minds of the inhabitants to restore their memories and solve the mystery of what happened there.
It’s one of the most iconic names in the games industry. Square Enix needs only slap “Final Fantasy” on the box to almost guarantee to generate a fever hype behind the game.
lol, dudes worried about getting chewed out for mentioning Lightning Returns but fails to include any of the FF's from VI to IX. Madness indeed!
No need to include those because everyone knows they the best Final Fantasy games. IX being my favourite. Final Fantasy XIII series is just shockingly bad!

And, just like absurdism in theatre, literature, and the other arts, through its repetitive mechanical structure it tells us a lot about the human condition because it is so damned addictive."
