It has been over three years since Fire Emblem Three Houses was released, and while I’m not sure where those years went, 2023 is a GREAT time for a new Fire Emblem game. I LOVED Three Houses, and experiencing another awesome tale, with brilliant strategic combat, was something that I was not going to miss out on. Except that….. Where Engage absolutely excels in some areas, it quite clearly, falls short in others.

Over the past few years, the Trails series has become a hot topic for JRPG fans, with its many interconnected titles, that, to put it bluntly, all kick ass!
We’re now in 2024. Another year, another Trails game, but this one is different.
Trails through Daybreak is the newest installment in Falcons massive JRPG series, but is set in an entirely new location, and features a brand new cast of main characters, and this excited me so much. This new setting, and cast of characters, makes Daybreak a great entry point for Trails newcomers.

I’ll start by saying that I still cannot believe that Suikoden I and II have been remastered. There was a long period of my life where I didn’t think it would ever happen, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Today, is an amazing time to be alive for Suikoden fans.
Today, I’m digging in and reviewing the Suikoden 1 and 2 HD remasters, and telling you why they are a MUST play for all RPG fans. Whether you’re new to the series, or have been playing for decades, playing these remasters should be a no brainer.

As you probably know, a massive Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes video dropped a few days ago, and I really want to talk about it! This 6 minute video was games publisher, 505 games, and gives us a lot of new information about one of my most anticipated games in recent years. I was excited about the game before, but now, we are on an entirely different level.
This video is going to be a basic rundown of what was shown in the video, along with my thoughts, which, I have many at this time.

![The Last Story - Review [Biggest JRPG Hidden Gem on Wii?]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ECZo7wLCptw/mqdefault.jpg "The Last Story - Review [Biggest JRPG Hidden Gem on Wii?]
The Last Story is one of those titles that took me far too long to play.
Since its release on the Wii in 2012, I had always wanted to dive in, particularly because it was developed by Mistwalker, which of course, means that FF creator Hiranobu Sakaguchi is involved.
Sakaguchi aim was to create something new. Something new is exactly what The Last Story Feels like, as all these years later, I have still never experienced a combat system quite like.
So does the Last Story hold up to Sakaguchi’s other famous titles? Is it worth dusting off your Wii Wii to play? Let’s look into it!

Octopath Traveler 2 is finally here! That little JRPG that we loved so much in 2018, finally has a sequel! Now, I would definitely consider the original Octopath Traveller to be a ground-breaking JRPG, not only because it was the game that introduced the HD2D graphical style, but also because it really proved that people really want this sort of game.
Playing Octopath 2 was a no brainer for me, but the question is, did it live up to my expectations? In many ways; yes, but in other ways; nope! Octopath 2 plays things very safe, and provides an almost identical experience to the original in the series.

The Diofield Chronicle! I have a lot of thoughts on this one! Diofield was originally announced on March, 2022, and 6 months later, it arrived on all modern consoles and PC. This game is not the AAA title we’re used to seeing from Square Enix, and in many ways, this shows. The Diofield Chronicle has a LOAD of potential, but doesn’t quite reach the mark. There is enjoyment to be found here, but much of it is pretty short lived.

![Elden Ring - Review [2022 Game of the Year?] (PS5)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FApwOIR1SWE/mqdefault.jpg "Elden Ring - Review [2022 Game of the Year?] (PS5)
Since the release of Demon Souls in 2009, developers FromSoftware haven’t really changed up the formula much , and that’s absolutely fine.
Being the massive Souls fan that I am, I would buy any Soulsy title that these developers pump out, no questions asked.
But then the announcement for Elden Ring came. We were getting an open world style Souls game, with worldbuilding by Georg R.R. Martin. And that was it. That’s all it took to make Elden Ring my most anticipated game of the year. And I’m not the only one.
Yes, it’s a masterpiece. Yes, it will probably win GOTY, and yes, you should buy it….. Unless you’re not a fan of the genre. Watch this review to find out why!
