That actually makes a lot of sense- the Mutants in SaGa 1 gain stats in an extremely similar way to the levelling in Final Fantasy II - use spells to gain magic, use weapons to gain attack etc. So even the most standard feeling class in the game in terms of progression STILL doesn’t level in a usual...

The final floors of the tower are once again crazy tough, even though we're extremely strong now, but with Ashura's four generals defeated, we're on the home stretch to face him! It's a difficult climb, and we're barely making it past the tough random battles. Exhausted, we find a cave near to the t...

Hoooo, boy. This took a lot of doing. I wanted to finish this during the month, but I didn't feel well (nothing serious at all, just a cold) and it made me feel pretty wiped out unexpectedly for like a week. Then I got back to the game! And... It was glitching out on me like crazy. Like, the game wa...

Yeah, I definitely enjoyed how open the first Dragon Quest feels. The fact that you're making all the decisions of what to do and where to go next helps a lot, and I enjoyed how there were little kind of riddles and hints from the townspeople about stuff all across the world, which you're given enou...

I love the first Dragon Warrior/Quest, I've actually beaten it twice now- once on NES and once on the Super Famicom remake compilation of I and II. The first one has a great addictive simplicity and progression to it, but II is very unforgiving and makes you run around a lot, especially early on! Th...

Oh man, I am still kicking myself for not getting one of those Digivices back when they first came out. I enjoyed watching Digimon on TV but was already a dedicated fan of the Digimon virtual pet; I wasn't sure what they were but I knew they weren't real virtual pets, so I wasn't that interested. I...

I've been wanting to get modded Game Boys for a while, especially a GBA with a good screen and a Game Boy Color modded to look like the Game Boy Horror from Luigi's Mansion- I've seen ones with glow in the dark logos and everything, they look great! Definitely into the idea of Cave Noire as well- it...

Progress! Spoilers ahoy! Makai Toushi Sa·Ga (Or... The Final Fantasy Legend) - So, because of that weird save file screwup, I had to start my adventure again. Somehow, it actually felt like it took LONGER this time! But either way, the first part of the adventure is pretty short- the game's regular ...

Great Greed sounds like exactly the kind of nonsense I love, I need it!

And...it’s done! I beat For the Frog the Bell Tolls this morning. It is, as I stated above, a very odd game. It ends up being much more like an adventure game than a RPG or even an ARPG, despite some very light RPG (and not so light platforming) elements. Has anyone else played it? If so, I’m curio...
