Suikoden

By GreySeal9 | Review Date: Jul 31, 2014 | PS

What seems like a basic RPG on the surface shines bright due to its focus on people and empowerment.

Given the amount of JRPGs with crazy plotlines that dive headfirst into fantastical situations, Suikoden’s no frills approach was a breath of fresh air (to be clear, I like those crazy plotlines but it was nice to ... Read Full Review

Lunar: Silver Star Harmony

By GreySeal9 | Review Date: Apr 14, 2014 | PSP

Lunar: SSH's characters and story are packed with charisma, but the game itself is basic to a fault.

Final Fantasy V Advance

By GreySeal9 | Review Date: Nov 26, 2013 | GBA

Despite its thin story, Final Fantasy V is a stand out RPG thanks to its superb jobs system.

The jobs system. If somebody mentions Final Fantasy V at all, that’s probably what he or she will talk about. And with good reason. The jobs system is a deep, flexible customization system that almost singlehandedl... Read Full Review
