Kartia: Worlds of Fate is a tactical RPG on the PS1. This is one of my favorite games on the system. While it isn’t as good as games like Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics, I enjoy the game as much as Saiyuki and Vandal Hearts. It is a pretty unique game, and uses aContinue reading “Kartia: The Worlds of Fate is Good but Not Great”

Saiyuki: Journey West, A Great Hidden Gem on the PS1
Saiyuki: Journey West is loosely based on the Chinese novel, Journey to the West. This is one of the more creative games from Koei, as it isn’t one of the long-running strategy games. It is also not based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is something different for this company. I remember beingContinue reading “Saiyuki: Journey West, A Great Hidden Gem on the PS1”
Breath of Fire III is one of My Favorite RPGs
Breath of Fire III was the first PS1 game I bought. I’m not sure why I went with this game, especially since I hadn’t played the other two games in the series.

Tactics Ogre focuses on the local conflicts and takes place on islands. The Tactics Ogre games tell more personal stories about the people who participate in war.Continue reading “Tactics Ogre is One of the Best RPGs”
Jade Cocoon is more than a Pokemon Clone
Jade Cocoon is a game that I found through a video rental store called Family Video. I knew nothing about it but was interested in RPGs and took a chance. I found a spectacular RPG that felt like a cross between Princess Mononoke and Pokemon. There is more to it than that. Jade Cocoon doesContinue reading “Jade Cocoon is more than a Pokemon Clone”
Thousand Arms: A Hidden Gem and Great RPG
Thousand Arms is a very horny game. It ties in with the overall theme and mechanics of the game. To upgrade your weapons with different elemental powers, you must increase your relationship status with different women. It is one of the more anime-inspired games that I’ve played. It reminds me of DNA2, Ranma ½, andContinue reading “Thousand Arms: A Hidden Gem and Great RPG”
