Retro Gaming News: Final Fantasy IV - The Un-J2e Version
"Final Fantasy IV was released here in the States as Final Fantasy II, and was the game to firmly establish Square as an RPG force to be reckoned with. Sadly though, the release was plagued by censors, edits, and a pretty godawful translation. Later Squaresoft rereleased FFIV in the States for Playstation as part of Final Fantasy Chronicles, complete, uncensored, and retranslated. Making an SNES translation kind of unnecessary in this day and age. But honestly, before that came along, how else were you supposed to check out the super-cool Programmer’s Room? That’s right.
You play the part of Cecil, commander of the Baron’s airship fleet, known as the Red Wings. You’ve served your king faithfully over the years, but recently he’s been acting weird and demanding that you retrieve the Crystals from all over the world, and by using any means necessary. Cecil questions the king’s judgement and is stripped of his command. What follows is a pretty nifty (and kinda weird) tale of good vs. evil, with some love and loss thrown into the mix. Granted, it’s not the first FF game to have a decent plot, but it’s the first to be a good game along with that.
FFIV was the last truly traditional Final Fantasy game, with all the characters learning specific skills when they reached a certain level. Just like Dragon Quest! These days the game may not look like much (admit it, the graphics aren’t too hot except for all the cool Mode7 stuff), but the gameplay is engaging, and the story keeps you playing. And the soundtrack is pretty sexy as well."

Finds 879: Tales of Zestiria for Playstation 4
This is a pretty awesome collector's edition that I won't be able to play until I can gather up money for a Playstation 4. I guess it'll have to wait but I better hurry because the Final Fantasy VII remake and Persona V will be here before you know it!

Retro Gaming News: Phantasy Star Generation:2
"This is an English translation of Phantasy Star Generation:2, which is a remake (released on PS2 on 2005) of Phantasy Star 2 (released on Genesis in 1990)
This remake features the original version of the game released for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, accessible from the title screen. The Japanese ROM has been replaced with the English ROM instead.
This translation has been heavily tested on a PS2 and have been played from start to end on it, so there should not have any crashing bugs left.
If was also tested on PCSX 1.0.0 from start to end, and so, is completely playable on it."

Game-bit of the day 081: Tales of the Abyss (3DS)
This is an spectacular RPG that was originally released for the Playstation 2. It was a smart move to port it to the 3DS especially when you can play it in 3D. Nevertheless, it's a great game that will keep you busy and another awesome Tales game.

This is a pretty awesome Sega CD RPG and quite obscure. Many people mention Lunar when you talk about the Sega CD, but the fact is that there are other gems out for it. This one is the traditional beast for the Sega add-on. Enjoy the wonderful ad!
