While I haven't finished this game, it's a really captivating, surreal, and an unbelievably cool video game. For a reasonable price, it packs a lot of material that might not have huge implications or life changing but is nonetheless so imaginative that you can't help but replay, battle, strategize and exist within the parameters of the world Lindroth creates. I regularly revisit the soundtrack. I love its design. It's use of color. It is a personal favorite that should be on everyone's radar. For fans, developers and everyone in between. Gamers and enthusiasts of art cannot go without recognizing a game which cements itself as an important part of gaming history. It could be a lot more difficult, but the game is really relaxed. Not uncaring, but melancholic, somber and overwhealmingly cool. Suave, Calculated, and Thoughtful. This game blends a lot of what being an older sibling or someone you look up to is like. Or that's what I imagine it to be, at the very least. In any case, this game holds a special place in my heart and if you should stumble upon the opportunity to play it, you will not be let down. It is the ultimate display of creativity in recent memory. Absolutely, hands down.

Final Fantasy VIII Remastered
Final Fantasy VIII RemasteredA remaster of the beloved PS1 classic coming in 2019! It is a time of war. Galbadia, a Global Superpower, has declared war on Dollet, a country whose training academy is home to two personalities: the hot-headed Seifer and the 'lone wolf', Squall Leonhart. Both are equally at conflict with each other as their country is with Galbadia; to others, Squall appears lacking in team spirit, while Seifer lacks the discipline of his rival. However, a chance encounter with the free-spirited Rinoa Heartilly turns Squall's universe upside down; having thrived on discipline, Squall find the carefree Rinoa fascinating. He also begins to dream that he is Laguna Loire, a Galbadian army soldier.

Breath of Fire
Breath of FireRecognized by Capcom as their first traditional role-playing video game, Breath of Fire would set the precedent for future entries in the series, and features character designs by company head of development Keiji Inafune, as well as music by members of Capcom's in-house sound team Alph Lyla. In 2001, the game was re-released for the Game Boy Advance handheld system with new save features and minor graphical enhancements, with the English version being released in Europe for the first time. Set in a fantasy world, Breath of Fire follows the journey of a boy named Ryu, one of the last surviving members of an ancient race with the ability to transform into mighty dragons, as he searches the world for his sister. During his quest, Ryu meets other warriors who share his quest, and comes into conflict with the Dark Dragon Clan, a militaristic empire who seeks to take over the world by reviving a mad goddess. The game experienced mostly positive reception upon release, and was followed by a direct sequel, Breath of Fire II, in 1994.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
Breath of Fire: Dragon QuarterBreath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is a radical departure from the previous titles of the Breath of Fire series, and in some ways from standard Japanese-style role-playing games in general. The game is built like a huge dungeon crawler, with no overworld map. The combat is tactical: each character has action points (AP), which can be used to move around the screen during an enemy encounter, and perform a variety of combo attacks. There is no magic in the game, and many of the items found in dungeons are random. All the enemies are visible on screen. Depending on who first initiated a physical contact, the party or the enemies get an extra turn in battles. The game allows (and even encourages) the player to restart it from the beginning, keeping the items and the party experience. The game also features a special counter - Ryu can use his traditional dragon transformation abilities, but the counter raises with each such transformation, and when the counter reaches 100, the game is over. Raising the D-ratio allows characters to access new areas every time the game is replayed.
