Sometimes, my thoughts are strange. While I watched the download bar of my Sega Mega Drive collection on the Nintendo Switch, I thought about how strange it was from Sega to release a isometric action RPG in 1994. And so, that's the topic of our new set of reports:

A matter of perspective. Here I take a look into the visual styles that RPGs can be presented in, and the report starts with two classic perspectives: Top down and isometric.

More will come soon in the following updates. But thanks to Kaoru, the next update will be a different one. Stay tuned!

Would you believe what I just updated? I added a bunch of new music files to our corresponding section. They are perfectly legal and hand picked, so feel free to download and use. Please bear in mind that these songs are not in the well-known MP3 or M4A format, but instead use old tracker formats from the 80s. They sound great nonetheless!

The whole music section is a bit of a mess, though. It's not so easy to navigate and I didn't know how to include the newer files, so I just added a section "newer files" on top of the old ones.

I have to rethink this and come up with a better solution :)

Today we have another addition to our list of special moments - this time it's about Grandia III. And this time the moment is also spoiler-free!

I was really excited back then when Grandia III was announced and the first trailers were released. Everything looked so great and gorgeous, and the game indeed did deliver what the trailers promised.

The game looked great and had an extremely fun to play combat system. But alas, the music didn't always keep up with it and the story was kind of a mess.

I finished the game nonetheless - and one of the reasons was that moment linked above!

Hey there, I hope you all had a very nice weekend. I spent some days with my family and hope you also had some good time with loved ones.

Let's resume the updates - today I added another remarkable boss fight from Breath of Fire II - so be warned that we have a Spoiler here. It's only a minor spoiler though since this fight happens fairly during the first hours of the game.

Today we have a typical "this and that" update. I tweaked some stuff in the backend, I added a new link to Binary Scroll (in German) and I added a new gallery - the Ys image gallery. It's quite a surprise that rpg-o-mania never covered Falcom's series in any form at all.

But as you see, we don't turn our back to Ys and started adding stuff.
