RPGs – Then and Now

It’s a dangerous time. Walking outside of your home town means inviting the wilds to test you with vicious competition. You won’t have enough equipment, and your gear is mostly homespun. But your heart is pure. Your mission righteous. You will overcome.

This was the world of the videogame RPG in the mid 1980′s.

Agree'd on breaking up with square. FFXIII hurt me too much, and FFversusXIII/XV may be too little too late if it doesn't have the following; Airships, World Map, Towns.

Seems we grew up with JRPG's in the same manner, was a very nostalgic and enjoyable read. The other day I was clearing out the attic and came across two odl instruction manuals in a box, one for Squaresofts FFVII and the other for Enix's Star Ocean Second Story... was like finding an old photograph with an old flame, heart breaking stuff haha.

I forgot all about shadow hearts, really enjoyed that game! I can't remember the last time I played a truly good RPG (Lost Odyssey hit close to the mark)and the sad thing is I dunno if I'll ever play another truly great JRPG again. Unless Ni No Kuni gets a rerelease on ps4 (I had sold my ps3 to pay off debt before it was released :( )

The thing is, Dev's just stopped making the type of game we used to like.......not many people stopped liking those types of RPG's, what happened was the influx of "money guy" into companies to run things and make a profit before making a good game.

* The Blue print is there.....nobody wants to follow it though.

KingKelloggTheWH3590d ago

I've been playing the FF series lately ( first time for most) and I've got to say it makes new RPG's look bad.

MrSwankSinatra3590d ago

I miss the days when i could just look at the square logo and know that i'll be getting a amazing game. It's nothing like the way it used to be.

dead_pixels3590d ago (Edited 3590d ago )

Times sure have changed. Back in the 16 and 32 bit eras that logo was the gold standard.

MegaRay3590d ago

I would like Square to do a game similar to Child of Light tho

lameguy3589d ago

Check out Bravely Default if you haven't already. It's more complex and complete than what's offered in Child of Light and should fit nicely -- if you have a 3ds.

Chespin3589d ago

Now doesn't compare to then.

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda3d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5229d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212129d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5229d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5229d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani29d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum30d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman30d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim30d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I disagree Batman
