Today I expanded the recommendations for every generation area.
I made a cut within the present generation so that the page doesn't become too big, and I just made the split at the relaunch day of new rpg-o-mania here.
The newest additions to ageless RPGs are Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Dragon's Dogma. Read in the linked article why I think this is.
But if you think I'm not right or if you have any recommendations for ageless games, just contact me!

Ever since I started thinking about Star Ocean V last week, I'm sorta in a Star Ocean vibe. After we added art assets from Star Ocean V and III in the art gallery, today I added a couple of nice Star Ocean IV images.
The art style of that game is great, and since my desire to play Star Ocean got stronger and stronger, I decided to play "The Last Hope" on my good old PlayStation 3. I only played it a couple of hours before, but I think I could like it, just like I loved the predecessor and successor.

It's art time again! Since I'm somewhat on a Star Ocean spree, I added Star Ocean 3 imagery.
I really, really loved the game, and it was one of the first hard rpgs where I played the bonus content a lot - although I wasn't able to finish the hard final bonus bosses.
What I actually didn't like so much was the art. But yeah, it's about the game, and it's high resolution, so... enjoy!

Today, I expanded the "Death in RPGs" series of articles by another one - about the difference of gameplay and story deaths. I discussed this recently on Reddit after I thought about this topic when covering the interesting moment in Star Ocean V.
Being story-driven, rpgs sometimes have to sacrifice a hero or an interesting boss, but it's hard to explain why party members can survive getting stabbed by a gigantic robot scorpion, but cannot survive a sword wound.
I hope you like the little report, but please be aware that it is full of ! Especially Phantasy Star II, Phantasy Star IV and Final Fantasy VII

Today I created three Trials of Mana wallpapers. They are quite similar to the ones I created recently, but yesterday I finished the game, and I wanted to give a shout out to my party that I played through the past 25 hours.
The game felt great again, and I really enjoyed every minute. In fact, I might have enjoyed it a bit too much, since I was so overpowered at the last boss fight, that I didn't even get his second music - which is a shame, because I love the tune "Sacrifice, Part III, which would be the final final boss theme. Oh well.
Now I feel this emptiness that crawls up my spine every time I finish a great game. And especially one I love so dearly as Trials of Mana.
