So, a lot of you avid Final Fantasy fans already know that Final Fantasy Type-0 HD came out just a couple days ago, 3 days ago I think. Even though it is a solid game that is not what I wanted to talk about right now, because something more important came out with it. For those people who pre-ordered Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, they also got access to a portion of Final Fantasy 15. When I heard about this I was just amazed because I have been waiting for this to come out, and I haven't been this hyped about something coming out in a long time. From what I have seen thus far, Final Fantasy 15 Episode Duscae is just simply amazing. The graphics for the game are just astounding, the battle system looks great, and the character models look pretty awesome. However, from what I have read about other peoples comments on the game, there has been non-stop complaining. Honestly, most of the complaining isn't even warranted, and I think that the fan-base should just chill because this obvi...

Due to the recent release of the game on steam, I decided that it was time that I did a blog post talking about Town of Salem. I have been playing this game for quite a while now, and I have been enjoying it for the most part. Town of Salem is a relatively new, free browser based game that was released in 2014. In Town of Salem you play as a member of a town, and the goal of the game is to lynch or kill the evil members of the town. However, since this a multiplayer game, players get the chance to play as either the town members, mafia members or the serial killer. The game includes five very fun and distinctive game modes with a 15 player maximum that allow players to have a variety on what they want to play at the time. The five game modes include: Classic Mode: Classic mode is the simplest form of the game, whereby there are three mafia roles, Godfather, Mafioso, and Framer, one Jester which is a neutral role, and eleven town roles including two random town roles: a town killing...

So, in my last blog , I did a pretty in-depth review about Final Fantasy 5, which is a game that is very near and dear to my heart. Due to Final Fantasy 5 being my favorite game in the series for sentimental reasons, I decided that I wanted to wrap things up because I personally felt that my last blog post was rather biased, and I felt the need to look at the game more objectively.  Firstly, what I was trying to get across was that Final Fantasy 5 is sort of like the weird child in the family in the sense that Final Fantasy 5 is really different from the rest of the games in the series, not just because of the story, but also because of the game play. I also wanted to note that Final Fantasy 5's story was definitely one of the weaker ones in the series because of how cliche one could say it is, but I thought that even though it was cliche, it was well put together because of the lack of plot holes in the story. Secondly, even though the job class system was really nice, there w...

If I were to pick my favorite game out of the Final Fantasy series thus far, it would have to be Final Fantasy 5. Final Fantasy 5 is a vastly underrated game, and it isn't really the game's fault. The reason why people overlook the game is because it was released between Final Fantasy 4 and Final Fantasy 6, and those two games are considered to be two of the best games in the whole series. However, the reason why Final Fantasy 5 really sticks out to me was because of the comical tone throughout the entire story, the amazing class based system, and finally the memorable characters. When I was younger I used to watch a lot of Let's Plays on YouTube, because I liked watching people play games that I knew I wasn't going to be able to beat. The first game that I ever watched and fell in love with was HCBailly's Final Fantasy 5 Let's Play . After watching the first few episodes, I instantly got hooked to the story of the game, and I watched the whole Let's Pla...

In most of my blogs that talk about RPG's, I talk about how a game needs really strong characters to help carry the player through the story. Strong characters can help a game's story because strong characters can help out the game through some its weaker story elements. However what makes a character a strong one, and what makes a character a weaker one? Well, instead of describing what makes a character strong v.s. what makes a character weak, I decided that I would talk about a character that I believe to be a prime example of a strong character, Golbez from Final Fantasy 4. However, I am warning you that if you plan on playing Final Fantasy 4 in the near future, or you do not want any spoilers regarding the game, I suggest that you stop reading now. Golbez's in-game boss sprite Now, when I think of Golbez I think of one of the best Villains ever created in an RPG game still to this day. Throughout the game, he is always one step ahead of the main party, and he is ...

Final Fantasy 3 was an interesting game if you ask me. It was interesting because the game that we got in america that was titled "Final Fantasy 3" was actually Final Fantasy 6, and in my opinion, the games are not even comparable. It was also the first game in the series that introduced the "improved" job class system that would be an integral part of every other Final Fantasy game to come, and it would also be the first game in the series to attempt a more compelling story even though it was fairly weak. Even though I don't think that the game's story really holds up today, I think that this game really helped shape the Final Fantasy series into what it is today, so let's take a look at Final Fantasy 3. Final Fantasy 3 mixed a lot of the gameplay elements from the first two games, and also adds some new stuff. First of all, they kept the turn based battle system from the first two games which was a good thing, but then they also decided to update the...

Most people remember seeing The Lion King by Disney as a little kid, and I will say, it was one of my favorite movies as a kid and it still holds up till this day. We all remember the feels that overcame us when Mufasa was killed by Scar and when Simba avenged his father's death. When I was a kid, I never really thought about the story of the Lion King too much, and I haven't thought about it a lot until recently. After thinking about the movie more, and taking some history classes, I started seeing the Lion King in a whole new way. Was Mufasa really the good guy? Was Scar really the bad guy? I won't know for sure, but I think that the story draws some parallels to some events in history. After thinking about how the Lion King drew parallels to some events in history, the conclusion I came up with was that Mufasa only catered to the interests of the elite (Lions, Monkeys, Birds, etc.), which is why the common people (the Hyenas) sided with Scar to overthrow Mufasa. Scar n...
