<< The original title was too long. | Main | Chatting Like Adults >> April 22, 2005 >> Gamestack You have a fine stack of Playstation RPGs, including an original release of Final Fantasy Tactics and the box set for Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. It's a wonderful collection of historically renowned and (now) graphically inferior adventures, lined up neatly on the shelf. Every story waits anxiously for a hero, a youth of bravery and wit and most likely of the Fighter persuasion, to come and defeat the ultimate personification of evil which will inevitably creep out of the darkness of the plotline. There will be romance. There will be coming-of-age. There will be menus and magic and maybe a sexy-pixelly white mage. These things are promised and given by convention. The wait approaches desperation. The sordid love triangles remain unexplored, the mini-games and near-impossible secret bosses are still unchallenged. When will he return? When will he load up his saved game and continue the adventure? When will we be complete; 100%, or at least 75? Please? But the games sit gathering dust, always waiting, always in need of a hero. Unfulfilled. You're too busy for nostalgia right now, and you can't remember how to get the Ultimo Sword. It's been a while. Maybe in the summer. Posted by Chris at 12:00 PM >> Commentations (2)
