    A gem lost in its own time, Final Fantasy V is a stellar RPG. 0

    In the three years between the release of Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy VI (known as Final Fantasy II and III in the US), Squaresoft made the decision not to release Final Fantasy V to North America. They felt that the gameplay was too complex and wasn’t accessible enough for the western world. This is a real shame, because the depth of FFV’s character customization is its greatest asset and keeps it from being just an also-ran in the franchise.

    Exdeath was the best tree based villain ever. 0

    High school is an awkward time for most folks. Especially for chubby, acne ridden teenage types such as myself at the time. Luckily for me, my school's "bullys" were actually undercover nerds, allowing me to bribe them off with video game lendings. Hell, they even gave me some games back ( I still have a copy of one of them folk's Chrono Cross somewhere).
