I love when we go back and review a rare Japanese-only RPG from a bygone system. Sometimes it's a new and wonderful gem to discover...!๐ And sometimes it's more diamond in the rough... #Sega Saturn's Wachenrรถder is the latter.

The Legend of #Zelda: A Link Between Worlds was out 12 years ago (2013) for the 3DS! (...And sadly remains stranded there.) ALBW is a seriously well-paced and fun title in this long-running series. It's a little easy โ but breezy, and fun. ๐

The Tales subreddit is having fun with #Talesof Berseria Remaster news! (And yeah, I laughed too ๐คญ๐ ). Berseria is one of the better regarded games, but was already available on current systems; and they seems to be holding off on Zestiria ...And many other classic Tales titles. :(

Square Enix has a pretty fine Black Friday lineup on #Steam! With lots of #FinalFantasy, #DragonQuest, and many more โ but I'd say one of the best deals is the FF7 Remake + Rebirth twin-pack for ~$60. โ๏ธ

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was released in the US 14 years ago today! With great design, the first fully orchestrated soundtrack in a Zelda game, and precise motion controlled sword-fighting, this is a classic that shouldn't be overlooked.

It has been 18 years since Square released The Last Remnant. This game takes on a unique combination of strategy and traditional JRPG gameplay in a very Ivalice-esque world. Organize units, guide tactics, and issue commands as you fight to save the world.

#MassEffect made first contact 18 years ago (2007)! ๐ช With engaging action RPG combat, complex characters, and thorough customization โthis trilogy is a must-play for sci-fi fans. And since playing it I've dreamed about being BFFs with an alien.

PS: If you want to read the 1,000 Years of Dreams (they're worth it!), the Lost Odyssey wiki has transcripts, or Youtuber PixelRena has visuals! (I recommend them over the dedicated "ATYoD" channel because this account goes slow enough to read along.)

Long before KPop Demon Hunters, it was YRP Sphere Hunters.๐ #FinalFantasy X-2 was out 22 years ago (in 2003)! Though hard to top the heights of FF10, X-2 made up for it with great gameplay, a cool OST, and a chance to explore a new side of Spira.

#DragonAge: Inquisition was out 11 years ago (2014)!๐ With a long but engrossing narrative and lore, BioWare took ideas from its Mass Effect's sci-fi universe and worked them into a fantasy realm, with lots to do amidst gorgeous art direction.
