    I have very fond memories of Metal Gear Solid. I remember my dad was stationed in Korea at the time, but before he left he warned my brother and I that we weren't going to have our playstation for awhile. The reason being was because he went to get it modded there because it was cheaper to do it there than it was here in the states back in the late 90s. My dad finished his job in Korea and when he came back he came with a stack of CD-Rs and cases along with them. One of them was Metal Gear Solid. My brother and I were blown away, and then we stayed over at our cousins house to show him the game and even he was like "whoa this is amazing!" Good times~

      Vae Victus -- suffering to the conquered. Ironic that now I was the one suffering. Not anything as pedestrian as physical pain. Rather the cruel jab of impotent anger -- the hunger for revenge. I didn't care if I was in Heaven or Hell -- all I wanted was to kill my assassins. Sometimes you get what you wish for. The Necromancer Mortanius offered me a chance for vengeance. And like a fool, I jumped at his offer without considering the cost. Nothing is free, not even revenge.

    FF Tactics has some of the best plot, characters, setting, and storyline in all of gaming but I think that's overshadowed by the fact that it's a tactical strategy game which is outside the norm for a Final Fantasy. It's a shame we were never given more games in the world of Ivalice with direct links to the War of the Lions / Ramza and Delita era.

      Breath of Fire 4 is genuinely my favourite JRPG of all time. If the franchise wasn't dead I'd be jonesing for a remaster... as in, exactly the same game but with the 3D elements brushed up to meet the artists' original vision. Headcanon for me was that the demons and dragons were rendered that way to show they were truly from a different dimension.

    Johnny you have the EXACT same taste with me when it comes to PS1 games but one game I'll fight for to the death in order to get some recognition and fame is my FAVORITE PS1 game, that is the claymation classic "Skullmonkeys", the sequel to the PC Puzzzle adventure game "The Neverhood", both made by the same team that made the Earthworm Jim series during the 16-bit era. I feel it's a criminally forgotten series, it's so strange and imaginative, and the soundtracks for those two games (The Neverhood & Skullmonkeys) are some of the coolest bizarre tunes you'd hear on the PlayStation considering the PlayStation track record on amazing soundtracks. If your reading this Johnny check them out sometime, its something different even if it's not your cup of tea, I just don't think they should be forgotten.
