      Rob has made me want to play games that I've previous played and disliked.
      The way he narrates it makes it feel like a totally different game than I played. And he does so without lying or exaggerating the details.

    This one was as brilliant as the game it portrays, Nath’s on last week was so deep and filled with references from other art forms, Rosie’s and Ash’s entries were so relatable.

      @@gregtiwald Prior to 2011, he had said that it was in ivalice (a view supported by a good bit of evidence.) It wasn't until he left Square Enix that he apparently changed his mind. Since Square has the rights to the Ivalice setting and he's expressed interest in developing a VS sequel, that change of mind likely had more to do with rights ownership than his true initial intentions.

    Please do an access d&d campaign. I think we all need to hear Rob be a DM

    I remember the grind to get the usable version of the last bosses weapon The Holy Win. That jacked-up 2 handed sword that looks like the game's crosslike logo, having to farm an low chance RNG-appearing Undead Knight enemy only found in new game+ !and! he only has a miniscule chance of dropping it. Giving me flashbacks of FF12 RNG hunts and item farming now as well.

    Ha, I read that same article and came to the same conclusion! Such a unique classic that deserves some kind of update!

    OK so i know i'll immediately get the "the graphics haven't aged well" comments but in all honesty this art style still looks gorgeous today, no other PS1 game looked this phenomenal 😊

      This is the best looking 3D game on the PS1 in my opinion. Yes the texture have aged, yes there is the classic PS1 deformation of the models and textures... But the design of it all is stunning. The city, the buildings, the characters and enemies. Great work. It's brillant.

      @@AxLWake Yeah, it still looks so good 😊

      It may have technically aged, because it's a twenty year old game, of course modern games are going to have better graphics... but because the art design is so strong I still count it among the best-looking games I've played.

    This game still holes a special place in my heart, only thing you didnt touch on with this masterpiece of a game was how music also set the tone of the boss battles or the dark and foreboding themes while running around the dark underside of the city. If this game ever gets a remake ill throw money at it faster than i did when saga frontier remake came out.

    Haven't played it yet but picked it up a couple years back because of how you've talked about it on videos. Hopefully one day I'll get chance to enjoy it!

    Managed to make the "Holy Sword" of Holy Swords, and absolute beast of a sword. Great game mechanics, had to be spot on with timing.Never to be repeated.

    The Original Dark Souls, still own never completed, the sound in this game was superb & the dark moody setting was very atmospheric

      It was very tough to get into, but it rewarded the commitment and perseverance. Especially on New Game Plus, where I eventually grew strong enough to win the final fight with a single hit.
