Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy Challenge Home Page Whenever the topic "What's your favourite Final Fantasy?" comes up, I've always had a single answer. Final Fantasy IV. On the SNES as a kid, it was my first JRPG, and I just remember the music, the story, and the characters really...
Final Fantasy III + A NES Trilogy Retrospective
Final Fantasy Challenge Home Page Final Fantasy III didn't make it over to the US the same way the other Famicom Final Fantasy games did. It didn't get a Wonderswan remake, which means there was no basis for a PSP or GBA port. It wasn't until 2006 that a 3D remake was...
Final Fantasy II

Fire Emblem: Engage
I don't play many video games to completion any more, or rather, the games I tend to play don't have a proper ending. Slay the Spire, Enter the Gungeon, Rocket League, and Shotgun King are all examples of the games that I default to playing when I'm tired, or don't...
