| * negativedge: A [[company:Konami]] made //[[game:shiren_the_wanderer_series|Shiren]]// clone, more or less. The only real difference is the town outside of the tower. As you get further in the game, you basically build the town using things you find in the tower. You also get to date something like six girls, and even your I-guess-gay rival guy who provides some comic relief. Building the city and solving all the girl's problems kind of makes the game more goal oriented than most games of this type, and it helps add some variety to what you're doing. The town becomes fairly robust; you get to do things like bowl and eat out and go to a swimming pool and all kinds of random shit that is kind of cute. The game also allows you to tame pretty much any monster to use as a pet, which offers a nice bit of depth. I played this game way too much back when it came out. | * negativedge: A [[company:Konami]] made //[[game:shiren_the_wanderer_series|Shiren]]// clone, more or less.

| - | * Rudie: This game was a fun time. Unlike //[[gamefinal_fantasy_vii|VII]]//, the first 7 hours are completely boring! Then it becomes completely retarded and I love it for it. I enjoyed breaking the game system over my knee. There are others, that hated the dumb story and the easily broken battle system! | + | * Rudie: This game was a fun time.

| * TOLLMASTER: [[company:square|Square]] thinks that //[[game:final_fantasy_vii|FF7]]// sold well because it was different and had good graphics, so //[[game:final_fantasy_viii|FF8]]// is created by being different and having better graphics. The "being different" part didn't go off as planned, but it's damned near unique as far as JRPGs are concerned, and it's mind-boggling how unique this mainline RPG was, especially as a sequel to the most anticipated, the most debated, the most storied game ever released. | * TOLLMASTER: [[company:square|Square]] thinks that //[[game:final_fantasy_vii|FF7]]// sold well because it was different and had good graphics, so //[[game:final_fantasy_viii|FF8]]// is created by being different and having better graphics.

| * gatotsu2501: An insidiously addictive card game simulator with an epic misfire of an RPG attached. The plot's personality-free fashion model characters and senselessly convoluted, juvenile anime nonsense (which somehow manages to be both ludicrous and dull) portend the //[[game:kingdom_hearts_series|Kingdom Hearts]]//es and //[[game:final_fantasy_xiii|Final Fantasy XIII]]//s of the [[company:square|Square]] yet to come; the battle system is so absurdly breakable as to render the game devoid of even the pretense of challenge until a small handful of side missions at the end. Might be worth playing just for the sheer spectacle of it... but considering the time investment required, probably not. Besides, if you want to play a grandiose clusterfuck of a video game, you're better off with //[[game:Xenogears]]//. | * gatotsu2501: An insidiously addictive card game simulator with an epic misfire of an RPG attached.

| *Rudie: Might be the best game ever made. There are a bewildering number of numbers to keep track of, but taking it slow will get you through that point. Combat system has a timing based combo system where each sequential attack does less damage that allows you to combo forever. Everything regarding display is just about perfect. | *Rudie: Might be the best game ever made.

| *Sniper Honeyviper: You'll need to make repeated trips to Gamefaqs, but this is undoubtedly the crown jewel of the dungeon-crawling genre. I love the hammy psuedo-Shakespearean dialogue in the English translation. | *Sniper Honeyviper: You'll need to make repeated trips to Gamefaqs, but this is undoubtedly the crown jewel of the dungeon-crawling genre.
