2025 Chiaroscuro: Expedition 33 year. However, despite all the technical and artistic advances, it is not endless, and even replay enthusiasts must give it up at some point. The void will feel huge, so let's take a look at similar games you won't want to miss.
Final fantasy 8
Claire Obscurus director Guillaume Broche quoted final fantasy 8 as one of his favorite games, and it shows. Trying to list all the influences is quite a mini-game. Final fantasy 8 was on Expedition 33from world art to the appearance and characters of some characters, but it’s even better to just play Final fantasy 8. Very similar to Chiaroscuro, FF8 took a completely bold approach to the JRPG genre, but it wasn't as well received. Certainly, Final fantasy 8 sold to great success and received critical acclaim upon release, but was quickly hit by an insane tsunami of backlash that has made it the black sheep of the franchise to this day. This is unfortunate, as players should have at least respected Squaresoft's attempt to keep things from getting stale, especially in a game that, less popular mechanics aside, remains a huge cinematic, musical, and overall aesthetic triumph to this day.
Final fantasy 8 should have hit as hard as Expedition 33 did it after release, but it went into a world that just wasn't ready. Great kudos to some of the key people behind this Expedition 33 took a shower FF8 s prompted many to give it a try, and I'm sure they didn't regret it. You could be next.
Lost Odyssey
One of the reasons the Xbox 360 became Microsoft's best soldier in the console wars was that it was the only generation where the company decided to compete with PlayStation's JRPG offerings, and Lost Odyssey was their main achievement. Lost Odyssey it was all final fantasy the game should have been or should have been, considering it came out very close to Final fantasy 13what was everything final fantasy there shouldn't have been a name.
Besides the great story, cool looks and characters, Lost Odyssey even presented a prototype of QTE-style events that made 33rd expedition the turn-based combat is so fresh and immediately memorable.
Wandering story
Some argue Wandering story is the best game on the original PlayStation, and I believe the only reason that number isn't much higher is because not enough people bought it. This is one of the best, most exciting and most original role-playing games ever made, and more people should know about it.
Although I understand why games like Final fantasy 8 And Skies of Arcadia failed to sell, one due to straying too far from final fantasydifferent because he didn't have “Final Fantasy” in the title, Wandering storyThe commercial failure, or more accurately the failure to dominate sales, baffles most who have played it. It was one of the most amazing games ever PlayStationhad completely new mechanics that could appeal to everyone, and even had the same marketing machine as final fantasy there was a series. Luckily, thanks to the excellent art style and direction, Wandering story remains a game that everyone should try even today.
Skies of Arcadia
Skies of Arcadia not only does it bring the beloved basics of JRPG combat to life, but it also adds an extra dimension with its unique world made up of layers of explorable floating islands that, unsurprisingly, are really fun to explore when you have a flying pirate ship.
Skies of Arcadia was capable of rivaling any of the best additions to the genre during the PS2 years, but was hit by the Dreamcast curse, which prevented it from achieving the popularity it deserved. If it came out on PlayStation 2, I certainly wouldn't have to remind people of its existence, although I'd love to do that.
Although Shenmue this is the most famous Dreamcast game, it will never be the best if there is Sky of Arcadia.
The Saga of the Panzer Dragoons
The Saga of the Panzer Dragoons was Sega's answer to Final Fantasy 7and relatively few knowledgeable people know that this was not a marketing ploy. Saga offered a colossal alternative to the then existing FF style gameplay through a combat system inspired by the classic rail track Tank Dragoon titles. The result was a game where the frantic movement kept the combat from feeling stale.
And there's a reason I put this last. The Saga of the Panzer Dragoons acts like Simon, that extra boss who kicks everyone's ass. It's not because Saga it's harder to play, but it's the hardest game on this list since the only way is either through emulation or shelling out over $500 to get a used copy to run on a Saturn that you completely own. Unfortunately, while it's well deserved, there's no guarantee that a remaster will ever materialize as we don't know if Sega has the source code.
