You know the saying, "never meet your heroes"?
As I like to ignore sayings, I met my heroes and asked one of the gaming journalists I always liked for his style and competence, Thomas Nickel, if he could write something for little rpg-o-mania here.
And so he did - a wonderful little retrospective / review about Final Fantasy V.
I added it in "reviews", even if the article could also very well be a part of our "retrospective" section- but eh, it fits both, so I linked to the review from retrospective, and decided to not add a rating.
It's a great read.
Many thanks, Thomas!

Thank you so much for trying out "Fight!!". I've seen there have a LOT of characters been created.
Based on the feedback I got, I made two changes:
1. On Level 4, if your character levels up and is of the offensive type, they will get a more powerful "Blaze 2" spell. This one will deal 20 damage.
2. The three strongest enemies have been a bit debuffed.
If you already have a character that is on Level 5 or more, they will not get the Blaze 2 upon level up. If you do not want to create a new character, get in touch with us using the "Interact" form and I will enable Blaze 2 for your character if you tell me your token and your name.

Now for something completely new! If you click onto the "Fight!!" entry in the navigation menu, you will switch over to our very first "game" (take that term with a truckload of salt): "Fight!!".
It is a very simple, very short and presumably easy turn based fight engine where you can do some battles with your character.
I had this idea for that game for quite some time now. If you're visiting rpg-o-mania, you're probably interested in old turn-based RPGs. And most modern engines in various games are so overly complex.
Not "Fight!!". Attack, use magic, that's it. No criticial attacks, no potions, no complex mechanics, just you, some enemies, and experience points. Go from battle to battle, and with every Level your stats will be restored.
If you have any questions, feel free to get in contact using the "Interact" contact form.
I will expand the number of enemies from time to time. The ones that are in the first batch are enemies I designed when I was 13. So that's kind of a throwback too :D
And disclaimer: For the cover art shown here, I used generative AI. I wanted to have an 80s style inspired cover art. But all the artwork of characters and monsters has been done by me!
I also opted for a hand-drawn look instead of pixels.

Some bad games can have good art too, right?
The game we're covering today isn't necessarily bad, but it has some uncanny predatory mechanics woven into it.
Anyway, it's about War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, and it has some nice artworks from various games.
So now it has its own gallery.
Compared to other gallerys on the web, I removed the shadow on the feet for every image.
