Hey folks, what is everyone playing this week? Are you trying something new or returning to a previously played game or genre? How are you liking what you’re currently playing?

    Thank you for the suggestion! I tend to like more adventure types, like Breath of Fire or even Zelda, more than war-themed ones (although I made an exception for Destiny of an Emperor b/c it’s based on real historical events, even if loosely), but I see where this game was done REALLY well, so a very solid thought!:-)

    I see why you mentioned it: the intention behind it does seem exactly like the Lufia series, really putting in the time to tinker and make it RIGHT, like it tries to go beyond a mere “game” for enjoyment, possibly crossing over into a master of its CRAFT (whether it actually reached that lofty ideal seems highly debatable, but in any case the attempt alone is worthy of some respect imho).

    I am just leaving this out there if anyone wants to learn more: Suikoden II - The Best RPG You Never Played.

      I’d like to bring your attention to Crystal Project on Steam. It’s honestly one of the best jrpg games I’ve played in the last 5 years. It’s less story driven than the DW/DQ series, but it is platformy and very exploration based. I haven’t played since the balance patches, but the game was about everything I could possibly want in an exploration jrpg. It’s more Final Fantasy like, but it scratched a deep itch I didn’t know I had.

        I don’t even have Steam installed on my computer, but maybe I should do that just to check this out, thanks for sharing!:-)
