Final Fantasy II and Dragon Quest II are games that I’ve changed my mind about over the last few years. Before I started making YouTube videos and blog posts about video games, I liked Dragon Quest II and really disliked Final Fantasy II. Now, things have changed a little for each game. Most of myContinue reading “Which is better? Final Fantasy II or Dragon Quest II”

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”
The Best SNES games I’ve played so far
A few weeks ago, I looked over the NES games that I’ve played so far and picked my favorites from that bunch. This time, I’ll be looking at the SNES games that I’ve played. This is a favorites list and not a best of or an overall favorites list. This is limited to the gamesContinue reading “The Best SNES games I’ve played so far”
Which is Better: Dragon Quest vs Sweet Home
Sweet Home and Dragon Quest are both turn-based RPGs, but that is where things end. Dragon Quest was one of the first attempts to make a console RPG, and many of its gameplay mechanics feel archaic. Sweet Home is something different and unique when compared to the other RPGs on the home console. Comparing gamesContinue reading “Which is Better: Dragon Quest vs Sweet Home”
Two Awesome RPGs: Phantasy Star and Destiny of an Emperor
Comparing games to Destiny of an Emperor is difficult. While games like Phantasy Star share core mechanics with it, their overall gameplay is very different. This is going to be a little hard to get through. There are a few similarities in gameplay, story, and quests. This isn’t all that surprising given that these gamesContinue reading “Two Awesome RPGs: Phantasy Star and Destiny of an Emperor”
Unique vs Traditional: Final Fantasy and Destiny of an Emperor
Dynasty of an Emperor and Final Fantasy are very different approaches to RPGs. One is a standard approach to the genre, and the other is more imaginative. I have fond memories of these two games, but I really like one more than the other. I played both of these games when I was a kid,Continue reading “Unique vs Traditional: Final Fantasy and Destiny of an Emperor”
Science Fiction vs High Fantasy: Two Great Retro RPGs
Phantasy Star and Dragon Quest are more similar than you might think. They share similar game mechanics that I’m not a fan of, but their art styles are something I enjoy. They also share some plot points. It seems like Sega used Dragon Quest as a template when designing Phantasy Star. I’m not saying thisContinue reading “Science Fiction vs High Fantasy: Two Great Retro RPGs”
Wild Arms, A Terrific RPG on the PS1
The only thing I remember about Wild Arms is how I mistakenly thought it was a sequel to Thousand Arms. I’m not sure why I felt that, because the two games have nothing to do with each other. This game has a dark Wild West setting. People in the game seem to be getting readyContinue reading “Wild Arms, A Terrific RPG on the PS1”
A Hidden Gem on the NES, Destiny of an Emperor
One of my favorite RPGs is Destiny of an Emperor on the NES. I found it one day while I was looking for a ROM to download. It was one of those days when I was home sick and didn’t have anything else to do. I spent most of the day playing it, and IContinue reading “A Hidden Gem on the NES, Destiny of an Emperor”
Let’s Compare Final Fantasy 1 to Phantasy Star 1
I’ve been in a little bit of a funk lately. I’ve been struggling to get into an RPG to write about, and I thought about some of the ones I’ve played a few times. Instead of doing individual reviews, I compared the games in three series: Phantasy Star, Dragon Quest, and Final Fantasy. For theContinue reading “Let’s Compare Final Fantasy 1 to Phantasy Star 1”
