rpg-o-mania is 25 today. Happy birthday!
I mean yeah, it's older than that. I have a whole history section here where the whole story from humble beginnings in 1998 to today is documented. But rpg-o-mania.de went live on September 6th, 1999.
If you know how, you can even go back in the site's news entries back to the very first days.
I composed a little text about this site's 25th birthday in our history section
Back then, it also was kind of a blog for me. I shared many personal thoughts here in the news, but in the past 6 years, I kept that to a minimum. The news are for the games and this site, and no personal affairs anymore.
So I will keep it that way. Again, happy birthday, rpg-o-mania.

Soon, Visions of Mana will be released. Scheduled release date is the 29th of August, which means in 3 days.
I won't be able to play it from the start due to financial reasons (here at rpg-o-mania, I buy every game on my own, aside from the one or the other indie game).
Anyway, here's some new art I brushed up, as Square Enix released the artworks in kind of a blurry state. You can find them in our Seiken gallery!

And it's finally here: Our Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail review!
This extends what already was the biggest review here on rpg-o-mania for quite some parts, as I not only reviewed the game itself, but also extended the final verdict I had added a few months back.
Sadly, I also had to mention the bad behaviour of fans towards Sena Bryer, the voice actor of one of the games' heroines, Wuk Lamat.
It's a poty fans behave like this.

I extended a very old set of articles in our "coverage" area - the "Music inspired" pages.
This always had been sort of a controversial array of articles, and I think this one will be too.
After playing through Dawntrail, Final Fantasy XIVs newest expansion, I noticed some of its music tracks sound in parts familar. And here I collected some of my findings: Dawntrail: Music inspired.
Let me know what you think! :)
