I'd argue that, given Carmack's history and well-documented talents, it's more a case of "You've got a sharp employee who taught you some of his tricks". Seriously, we don't know all the details, but to me this smacks of 1) Zenimax seeing facebook dollar signs, and 2) Zenimax being bitter that they lost themselves one…

Here's my guess on how this went:

Kamen Rider got weird after I stopped watching.

I'm hoping there'll be more than just Link playable, it being a Musou/Warriors game. The idea of tearing through hordes of moblins as versions of Zelda, Shiek, Impa, Groose and more greatly appeal to me.

I always giggled to myself when they talked about the Kinki region on the Japanese news. I have broken out laughing when someone talked about Kinki Kids.

Nice!! My PS4 is also my FFXIV machine. Same viewpoint about "at least I have it for when good stuff DOES come out" too.

I agree with you and I can't argue. When ffxiv came out I bought a whole new pc for around £1000 so spending £400 isn't nearly as bad.

Warning, incoming game.

yup, just started playing it after all these years and im running into the same problems as you. good game so far though

Most FF games have their good qualities, but I don't think any are as completely pleasurable as FF9. Straightforward and satisfying game mechanics, exciting and emotional story, gorgeous art and music. It's like a distillation of the best parts of 1-6, but done at the twilight of the PSX lifespan. This might be the…

Final Fantasy IX

Oh man, I can't believe I had to scroll this far down to find my favorite Final Fantasy. This game is absolutely the best in the series. The music still sticks with me to this day.

I can't read your words, but anyone who recommends SD3 knows what they're talking about, if you ask me. I'll go ahead and place my own English-language recommendation below.

Costume Quest

I've finally made myself admit that this is my favorite game of all times. Every time I hear any music from it, the feelings inside me are insane. It's also the best point of entry for the SMT series in general since you can set the difficulty and get a hang of the general system before jumping to, say, Nocturne :D

Name: Tales of Vesperia

Alot of excellent suggestions here. Most of the games that I really want to suggest are not for beginning JRPG gamers or have already been suggested. Games like Xenogears, Final Fantasy Tactics and Chrono Cross are not the easiest games and certainly are not the best introductory games for the genre despite them being…

I keep waiting for another JRPG to grab me like this one ... It's the first one I played and the best one I played.

Okay. You've never played a JRPG before. You have no idea what a chocobo is. You've always thought Final Fantasy was the name of a metal band.
