So, here´s how it will work I will random select a category and choose for that category the best Three, so they will be put as Bronze,Silver and Gold like at the Olympics. If I don't get tired there will be 13 categories, of course this is based on the number 13 from FFXIII and as something special to do the day before its release. Better not bore you more so, let's get started with the Best of RPG's by Chris-kun.
#1#-Best RPG game.
Easy isn't it? No need to explain anything
Bronze medal: Final Fntasy VIII
I've got no complains about this game, it was my first Final Fantasy game and the one who started my passion for RPG and specially for the Final Fantasy saga. The point is if I still play with it, it will be by some good reason.
Silver Medal: Final Fantasy X
If FFVII make me love RPG games, FFX appeared like a flame for my passion, it just made me turn crazy about FF games. Great story, first FF with voices, but the best and the worst, the ending, aboslutely beautiful, but very heartbreaking, I cannot still forget about that.
Gold Medal: Shin Megami Tensei, Persona 4
This is quite strange, isn't it, the best games is not a FF game. Before buying I read a few things about this game and after that the only I felt, was it was a very rear game, so I bought. (A new game for just 30 € sound quite welll) And what do I found? Simply the best game experience ever, a mix of a Japanese anime, RPG game, social simulator and you lived all this in fist person. Not only for this, also great melodies, cool dubbing and a lot of Japanises style life. If you haven't tried and you love all this, what are you waiting for?
#2#-Best supporting role
Yes, they exist, even the uses to be a protagonist, these kind of characters are quiete more usual.They also take part at battle, and they can be better than the main protagonist, but they will ever be secondary characters. Some of them have bad past, family problems or they are just very strange orfunny. Here I choose the one's who transmit me more good feelings.
Bronze medal: Meredy (Tales of Eternia)
Ok, it may not be very famous, but I had lots of fun with her. At the beginning of the game you found this little girl,who speaks a strange language and Knows nothing about your world (if I'm not mistaken) so that's were the fun is. During the games she begins to learn speaking normal, but all learning moments are very funny. Oh, she also has a little pet, butI don't remember quite much about it.
Silver Medal:Teddy (Persona 4)
Here comes another weirdo. What the heck is this, it just looks like a teddy bear. And that's what it is. You found him at the begginin in some kind of strange place called the Midnight Channel, he helps you a lot, and also he tries to make some bad jokes. He is not much diferent from Meredy, a completely living thing that does not know anything from the human world. Special mention for his passionate love for girls, and what happens when he goes to the human world.
Gold Medal: Auron (Final Fantasy X)
Wow, it has nothing similar with the last two I talked about ,right? This guy is completely serious, little talking and very, very strong, for me he's number one. He might not talk much, but when he talks, he says what he has to say. And during battles, he's just the strongest one. Special mention for he's limits, that's how it's done.(The only little problem? I feel sad for him at the end)
#3#-Best Lyric Song
Not all RPGs have of this but, the ones they have, make all they even more grater.
Bronze Medal: Simple & Clean (Kingdom Hearts)
Or "Hikari" in the Japanese version. I just love this song, it really beautiful, I get tired of singing it one thousand times when I got the game. better listen it by yourselves.
Silver Medal: Suteki da ne (Final Fantasy X)
If you take a look to one of my older posts you'll see I've already talked about it, so what else can I say? Great songs are for great games.
Gold Medal: Reach out to the truth (Persona 4)
Another good old friend, and after three awards FFX and P4 are just in any of them (It seems this may last till the end). As I said, I talked about it , once in my post, and I'm sure I was not mistaken. The best way to know if I'm not right is to give some time to listen to all these melodies.
#4#-Best Summoning creatures
Or big things that help you a lot (not always)
Bronze Medal:- Odín (Final Fantasy VIII)
Wonderful, abosolutely wonderful and pretty simple to explain. You couldn't summon Odín like the other summonings from the game. He appeared when he wanted and he always exterminated eveything. Spectacular until he gets killed. It appears another one called Gilgamesh but, it has no similarity with Odín.
Silver Medal:-Eden (Final Fantasy VIII)
What's than big thing I see over there? It's Eden the biggest summoning I've ever seen. Just in two words, huge and exterminator.
Golden Medal:-Magus Sisters (Final Fantasy X)
Don't you get tired of FFX? I'm sorry but i just can't. They are not one single creature. They are three! Nobody knows why they dress like that, but that is because they haven't seen the delta attack.
#5#-Best OST (Original soundtrack)
OK I talked before about some songs, but this time we'll see about the whole soundtrack.
Bronze Medal: Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth
If you don't know anything about this game, search for it at google. I'll just say that every single melody fits perfectly on this game.
Silver Medal: Kingdom Hearts (saga)
Yes, the entire saga and yes, the disney melodies are also included here. Believe or not but I just don't get tired of "Under the Sea". Of course there are also fantastic FF songs such as "One Winged Angel".
Gold Medal: Shin Megami Tensei, Persona 4
It's not very surprising,isn't it? Those lyric songs, those mysterious moments sounds, everything is the best of the worlds RPG soundtracks.
#6#-Best antagonist
It's time to get mad. Mhuaw, ha, ha! If you don't like, go tell anybody who cares. Bad people exist in real life and also in videogames. In every game we have to deal with very crazy bad guys. The best of all this? When you killed them.
Bronze Medal: Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)
To be honest, I haven't played all the time I wanted with this game but, everytime I've saw Sephiroth it was quite impressive. Belive this guy is carzy and it's going to make you know it. All this with the great "One Winged Angel" song with it.
Silver Medal: Kefka Palazzo (Final Fantasy VI)
OK,I'll confess I've never played FFVI,all this comes from the FF Dissidia game, but after that I just love how crazy is this kind of joker/clown crazy men. I t makes you sick it makes you laugh.
Gold Medal: Seymour Guado (Final Fantasy X)
I hate, hate hate hate hate you! And worst of all I had to kill you four times at the game. Come on! I get tired of you, that rare voice, that strange look, no way! I don't know why you are the best from here, I just hate you!!! (and that's why he's the best antagonist)
#7#-Best Battle Theme
Bronze Medal: Seymour Batlle Theme (Final Fantasy X)
I can't believe I've got to write two times about you, but I must admit this song is wonderful. And best of all beacuse it cheers me to defeat you.
Silver Medal: Reach out to the truth (Persona 4)
Sorry but I had to. I now is the second time it gets an award. But what do you want I'm a human being, don't expect me to change my mind so easily.(But this time I put the real live one, from the persona concert)
Gold Medal: Unfinished Battle with God (Valkyrie Profile:Lenneth)
If this games is in the top three soundtracks, it's mainly becuse of this song, can't you hear it, it tells you ATTACK!!
#8#-Best protagonist
The ones who take the lead, the ones who get full attention from the player, the ones with make sense to the game.
Bronze Medal:- Hero (Dragon Quest VIII) & Protagonist (Persona 4)
What do we have here? It's a draw. I'm sorry but I simply couldn't choose between this two guys. They have no real names. And that's why I best like from them. You take their role, you lived then more than any others, you just feel like you are them.
Silver Medal:-Squall Leonheart (Final Fantasy VIII)
What's the main difference between Squall and the two guys I talked before? You do not became Squall at the game, you help him and live his live, but you are not him. But about the rest, he's not pretty much different:doesn't talk much, serious, etc.
Cool gun, cool scar, cool all.
Gold Medal:-Yuna (Final Fantasy X)
I still found dificult to found someone, better than her. This young girl suffers alot during FFX and haves lots of fun during the sequel. I love her personality, I've cried with her, she transmitted me all her feelings. So that's what I called a good defined protagonist, it really becames part of your life.
#9#-Best duo
Couples,couples and more couples. They usually fell in love during the game... and that's what we like about them.
Bronze Medal:-Cloud Strife-Aerith Gainsborough (Final Fantasy VII)
I said before that, I haven't played with tis game all that I wanted, but at least I played enough to see what happens till Aerith gets killed. Hearttouching moment is that. Cloud, come on I'm with you man.
Silver Medal:-Squall Leonheart-Rinoa Heartilly (Final Fantasy VIII)
They both have the word "heart"on their last names, curious isn't it? I simply love this couple. She is a happy girl, always happy , happy and more happiness. He's just like he has a stone heart. The best of all she makes him change his heart and becoming more sweet.
Gold Medal:-Tidus-Yuna (Final Fantasy X)
I still feel my tears falling when I talk about them. The scene at Macalania when they have their first kiss it just deserves an Oscar. I prefer not talking about what happens at the end. (Poor of them) Best love game story ever!
#10#-Best Boss Battle
A true boss battle has to make you, suffer from the begining to the end until you can't breath, believe me i feel that a few times.
Bronze Medal:- Efrey (Final Fantasy X)
This dragon is the protector from the city of Bevelle, and also a pain in the neck. You have to defeat him while you are on the fliying ship, telling the pilot to approach or to run away from that creature, difficult battle and also dizzy.
Silver Medal: Rapthorne (Dragon Quest VIII)
This violet huge thing, is even worse than efrey. You will suffer a lot specially beacuse during the first part of the battle he is inmmune to everything, you got to pray to some kind of spirits to make him vulnerable, I'm sure it will make you sweat.
Gold Medal:-Trema (Final Fantasy X-2)
What the...? A boss from that game? You're crazy! I know noy many people likes this games, but I'm not talking about the game, I'm talking about the boss. 1.000.000 life points, that's exactly the life he has. Acording to the game there are a lot of points. If you don't have enough with that, he attacks you every 3 sec,and later it turns carzy and tries to destroy the world (or that's what I tought when I saw what he did) so I must say Bravo! for those like me who have defeated him.
#11#Best difficulty balanced game
For me, this is one of the most important things. If a game is too easy , bad thing it will become boring.I'm still waiting for a difficult FF from the beginning to the end.
Bronze Medal:-Valkyrie Profile:Lenneth
How many times your characters will be killed? A lot? You will get tired of resurrecting them, but to be honest, I really didn't care, I had a lot of fun.
Silver Medal:-Shin Megami Tensei,Persona 4
In this game I get tired of watching the GAME OVER screen, and believe me I'm not so bad, the game's too good.
Gold Medal:-Dragon Quest VIII
Ten points for this game, it shows how a good game has to be. You will never level up just by fighting a lot, you will have to fight even more.And altough that, it won't be still enough. It's not too dificult,it's perfect.
#12#-Best intro/opening sequence
Another very important thing. The first contact with the game must be great enough to make you feel you need more.
Bronze Medal: Dissidia:Final Fantasy
Hey, this is not a RPG game. It's fighting game, I know but I just love this video with all that diferent FFs characters fighting, awesome!
Silver Medal:-Kingdom Hearts II
A CGI and a great song; perfect combnation for starting a game.What else do you need?
Gold Medal:-Final Fantasy VIII
The beach,the sea, a kind of religous song and thst's all.If you find something better go tell me.
#13#-Best enemy design
Bronze Medal: Shadow Kanji (Shin Megami Tensei, Persona 4)
What's this? Better watch it by yourselves and make your own conclusions.
Last but not least, I just wanted to show you some impressive and sometimes disguting enemies.
Silver Medal: Angra Mainyu (Final Fantasy X-2)
What do we have here? I don't know were this comes from it one of the most strange things I've ever seen.
Gold Medal:- Sinh (Final Fantasy X)
Huge,it flies, what else do you want? This things represents all the people sins, so that may explain why it looks so ugly.
And that's all!! Buf, after almost four hours writing, I feel good about the result. Some of you may not think the same as I, remember: this is just an opinion.
All I got to say left is that there's less time until FFXIII I just can't wait, but I'll make an effort!!Remember to follow (or not) tomorrow's FFXIII detailed waiting experience, See you!
