I’m on two recent podcasts yammering about old video games if that’s the kind of thing you like: Memory Card, talking about the SNES CD-ROM with Kotaku contributor Ben Bertoli, and Axe of the Blood God talking about SNES and Genesis RPGs with the USGamer staff. Read more

I too have recently watched and then rewatched that 2012 series. And I agree with your assessment of Cao Cao and the actor that portrayed the character. I wish there were more ppl who like to discuss it online.

I also played some of the OG ROTK on SNES.  For some reason, I was able to decipher the original Japanese… Read more

Same for me with Suikoden.   Read more

The original ROTK was amazing on NES. My friends would spend whole weekends over resolving a game living on pizza and no sleep. There was nothing else like it at the time.

Came here to say Xenosaga III, and I am glad I decided to check the comments before actually posting that up myself.

After Episode II, I was dreading what III would be. I was impressed to discover the greatest JRPG rollercoaster I think I had been on up to that point (and Godsibb is the best final boss music ever,… Read more

I really love RoTK X for the ability to play as an officer or a ruler along with strong support for role immersion. I’m a bit sad that there was never a translated release of its expansion that added content and fixed a few issues (I think siege weapons were more balanced and AI was improved). Read more

Suikoden 3, since I missed out on 2 before playing three, is probably my favorite “this is a game in a series,” choice. Best story, best antagonist (2's antagonist is great, mind you), and best collection of 108 Stars imo. Read more

Sonic Adventure 2. Full Stop.

I have such a fondness for Chrono Cross. I played through it so many times growing up trying to get all the characters. Replayed it a year or so ago and it reignited my love for it. The different approaches to sequels can be fascinating I think. I love RE7 for instance, because it feels genuine and honest to the… Read more

My favorite game of all time is Lufia 2, but that sits in an awkward sequel/prequel slot, so it may not be the answer to your question. Read more

I’m going to take you a step further, because not all kinds of sequels are the same.

The art has gotten so good that the headline image legit made me think, “did they finally turn this series into a dating sim???” Read more

I first tell in love with Koei in the NES days. Among the huge offerings for kids, a little known company put out games that seemed as if they were more suited for a PC then a game console. Bandit Kings of Ancient China was my first and I poured hundreds of hours into it, then went looking for more and loving what I… Read more

ROTK 2 was my first strategy game ever on SNES, it was a rental. I never returned it as it fueled an addiction I never knew I had so I paid the rental place the full price for a used game. Read more

But what we really need is ROTK Maker in English. Read more
