Phantasy Star II and IV have a lot of similarities, aside from the setting and gameplay. Their plots are very close to being the same. When I went back to play these games recently, I was a little surprised by the way each game starts and how the story unfolds. The second game was somethingContinue reading “Which is better?

Which is better? Phantasy Star or Phantasy Star IV
There were a lot of improvements made between the first and fourth games in the Phantasy Star series. They still have a number of similarities because of the setting, genre, and series. It is kind of fun that Sega was so consistent with what was in the Phantasy Star games. I don’t have too manyContinue reading “Which is better? Phantasy Star or Phantasy Star IV”
Which is better? Final Fantasy II or Dragon Quest
Final Fantasy II and Dragon Quest are very different games. One of them is very basic, and the other is more experimental. Both games have some good things in them, but they aren’t the RPGs that I would hold up as being great games. Dragon Quest was great for the time it was released. ThereContinue reading “Which is better? Final Fantasy II or Dragon Quest”
Which is better? Robotrek vs Final Fantasy
Robotrek and Final Fantasy are pretty different games. They have different approaches to just about everything, but there are a handful of similarities. Many of them are because these are both turn based RPGs, and they have similar approaches to telling their story. These are two of my favorite RPGs. Final Fantasy was the firstContinue reading “Which is better? Robotrek vs Final Fantasy”
Which is better? New Horizons or Destiny of an Emperor
Alternate history settings make for great RPGs. While the quality of the games varies, they tend to have wonderful stories. New Horizons and Destiny of an Emperor are both good RPGs, and they have more grounded takes on alternate history games. Neither game leans into fantasy all that much when it comes to the gameplay.Continue reading “Which is better? New Horizons or Destiny of an Emperor”
Which is better? Robotrek vs Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Robotrek and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest are both turn-based RPGs on the SNES, and they’re fairly simple games. Neither takes that long to beat, and in some ways, they feel like starter games in the genre. They also have some similar gameplay mechanics. It is a lot of fun for me to compare a scienceContinue reading “Which is better? Robotrek vs Final Fantasy Mystic Quest”
Which is better? Robotrek or Uncharted Waters: New Horizons
Robtrek and Uncharted Waters: New Horizons are both games I first played on an emulator. It wasn’t until the late 1990s and early 2000s that I got the games on the SNES. It was fun to look for these games back in the day. One of these games is more realistic, and the other isContinue reading “Which is better? Robotrek or Uncharted Waters: New Horizons”
Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest vs PS II
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Phantasy Star II are very different RPGs. One of them is a starter game meant to introduce new players to the genre. The other is a more complete game and has more of what I expect from a console RPG. It is always fun for me to compare games toContinue reading “Which is better? Final Fantasy Mystic Quest vs PS II”
Which is better? Final Fantasy vs Phantasy Star III
Phantasy Star III and Final Fantasy are both turn-based RPGs that I’ve changed my mind about over the years. One of them is a game that I’ve become very tired of playing, and the other is something that I’ve gotten a newfound interest in. Both are good games, and they have some great things inContinue reading “Which is better? Final Fantasy vs Phantasy Star III”
Which is Better? Sweet Home vs Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
These two games feel like polar opposites. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest and Sweet Home have very little in common with each other. One is a bright and colorful starter RPG, and the other is an RPG mashed together with a survival horror game. It’s comparisons like this that make this whole series a ton ofContinue reading “Which is Better? Sweet Home vs Final Fantasy Mystic Quest”
