Breath of Fire III

Hey Gamers, Capcom Finally hears our prayers. Well at least they heard mine. On 2-09-16 Capcom and Sony finally brought one of my Top Ten Games.

Breath of Fire III

The date was September 11, 1997 on Japan. Capcom released Breath of Fire 3 for the PSone. Then released in North America and Europe on 1998 (Yes we had to wait for it). On August 25, 2005 the game changed port and was re-released on the PSP on Japan. Was also released in Europe on February 3, 2006 (so that's why I didn't found out huh!!) 

The Game is a Turn Based RPG, where you control some Great and yet Strange characters. We all had our favorite team. Mine was Ryu, Garr and Adult Rei. Until you get the adult Rei well just hang in there with Nina.

   In this Game you are the last of your kind The Brood, a mysterious Race of people that can turn into Powerful Dragons, they where extinguished  by order of God a long time ago. Yes GOD!!!!! God in fear of their power and....... well lets not get ahead in the story.

Ryu

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     This is Ryu (you can rename him) our main character. He starts as a New Born Dragon encased on a Chrysm like egg.

Nina

                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Princes Nina. Ass a child she was abducted by two Bastards. Guess what? Yes! You get to save her!!! And from there starts her great adventure with you.

Rei

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Rei..... By far he is my favorite character in this game. If you have to ask Why then you are not Old Enough!!!! He cant transform into a Dragon like Ryu. But he has a hidden power and when he unleash it you better prepare for some awesomeness!!!!

Garr

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Garr is the hand of God. He is part of a Race that worships God and do his bidding. He looks like a Dragon but he is not. God gave them that look so they can fight Gods enemies at equal terms.

Momo

 She is Momo the brain of the game. She can be really clumsy but she knows what to do when muscles are not the answer!

Peco

Peco is an Onion that mutated into this face with feets. He looks useless...... well I dont use him much. When he attacks he turns into a Human like thing and uses his punch to attack (I wonder if there is more to him that meets the eye!)

Teepo

Teepo just like Ryu he is an Orphan. Rei rescued him when he was a baby (just like Ryu huh). He is a Great ally early in the game. He got separated from Ryu and Rei never to be seen again......... (Or is he?)















Breath of Fire 3 does not have a huge villain. In fact you will find Bosses in every dungeon (in my time that was the best thing about a game). You have to battle and explore a lot to get all Dragon Genes. Dragon Genes are Gems that you combine to get Ryu to transform into a Dragon (Combine Infinity, Trance and Radiant to Become Complete Kaiser). Here is a Video of Ryu's Dragon forms.

Rei                     Ryu

There is tons of fun in this game. If you don,t want to keep fighting you can go a relax while fishing for Mackerel. Or you can go to the Fairy Village and see how your little slave fairies are doing. 

For me Breath of Fire 3 is the best game of the saga. Not in terms of graphics or music (in my times those where not factors to determine a great game), But for the story and the characters.

You can find Breath of Fire 3 on the PSN for your PSP, PSVita or PSTv (Vita on TV!) for only 9.99$. That's a great price for that great game!!!!

Here is another BOF3 Video Is one hell of a Fight so it may contain SPOILERS watch it at you own risk!!!

Well that's all for now. -N- here reminding you about old school games that are still around and worth to play!

Final Fantasy Explorers

 OK lets mix things up. Lets put 20% Monster Hunter and  80% Final Fantasy (Square Enix) and see what we can get. Well that's how I think this game comes to creation.

                                               Lets talk about Final Fantasy Explorers!!!

 Final Fantasy Explorers is a great game. It was released in Japan in December 18, 2014, and in January 26, 2016 for North America. The game is beautiful the scenery, the creatures, they all look great. Its Awesome for those who don't mind spending countless of hours fighting monsters for craft materials... (Damn you Tonberry give me Magic Source!!!)

Tonberry

Female Character

You can create your own character, you choose gender, hair, voice and face. Later on the game you can change anything including the gender but you have to pay.... Yes sex change is a thing. You start as a Freelancer that's one of the twenty one Jobs you can have. There are over five hundred pieces of equipment to customize your character. 

Visual Customization

Jobs

Each Job has unique abilities that you can morph and rename. I have Cloud's Air Braver mixed up with Fire, Ice and Critical up!

Do I need to tell you who is he??

Eidolon Guardians

You have to battle almost every Final Fantasy creature and some new ones. But the real challenge are Eidolon Guardians. If you can capture them you create Mgicite, Summon them in Battle and use their ultimate attack!

Bahamut

Classic Heroes

You can equip different type of Magicite. If you don't want a Summon Magicite you can equip a Hero Magicite instead. There are Eleven heroes in total. Each one of the with their own Crystal Sourge  (a.k.a. Limit Break)



Well Final Fantasy Explores is a Great Game at times it can get repetitive. But is worth it if you want to dress as your favorite FF character. But the real fun is Online. You have three slots that you can fill with monsters you kill and create. But in the Online play those spots are for the other gamers that join your quest. That way you can have a great team.

Get Final Fantasy Explorer on the Nintendo Store or your favorite game dealer. Is available now for Nintendo 3DS/2DS.

More about FFEX here in this Video

That,s all for now -N- inviting you to Explore the Vast World of Final Fantasy Explorers!!!!

Xenoblade Chronicles X

Some of you might remember Xenogears. We talked about it in the past. Well if you do let me tell you that you my friend have played one of the best RPG ever made and you can not miss this one.

                                   
                                                        Xenoblade Chronicles X!!!!

Xenoblade Chronicles X comes from a long line of greatness. Xenogears 1998 (PSone), Then came the Xenosaga Trilogy 2003- 2006 (PS2). Then came Xenoblade Chronicles 2011 (Wii) and 2015 (New3DS), And last in the Xeno Family is Xenoblade Chronicles X 2015 (WiiU).

The Xeno series comes from the brilliant mind of Tetsuya Takahashi. Takahashi formed part of team Squaresoft and then co-founded Monolith Soft.

   Well let me tell you a little something. Kind of personal....... Im a huge fan ofXenogears, I have played all 3Xenosaga games and played theXenoblade Chronicles on both the Wii and N3DS. But wasn't to eager to playChronicles X. Why You ask? For starters the game was announced on E3 2013, I bought a WiiU that didn't had an extensive library at that time. So my WiiU became a dust gathering machine........ I sold not one but two WiiU, gave them so cheap it was embarrassing. But then one Good friend (lets call him Satan) started posting videos of the game. Then it came the magic moment December 2015, he got the game...... And he started posting pictures of the views and the creatures. Well long story short I got another WiiU and here we are. Back to the topic please!!!

  The story goes like this. In the year 2054, as two alien races had a huge war near Earth, causing the destruction of the planet. Humanity is forced to escape extinction in gigantic interstellar ark ships, one from every major city on the planet, but only the American Los Angeles ship, the White Whale, and a small fleet, manage to escape before the planet is destroyed. Then your story begins. Did I mention you have no memory of this??? 

White Whale

Xenoblade Chronicles X is a Spiritual Successor to Xenoblade Chronicles. I haven't found anything that connects each other. With the exception of one Lovely Accessory that one of the characters had.

Lin Lee Koo

There is no Main character as for the other Xeno Games. In this game you are the main character. Yup, you create a Silent type hero and by luck everything revolves around you.

 This game is so huge that you can get lost between the gorgeous views and the action. The battle system is really easy to master. But the Class System is something that you might want to explore deeply.

In time you will get control of one mean machine called SKELL from the word Exo-Skeleton. This beauty can turn into a vehicle for fast travel between creatures you might want to stay clear off or they can be just awesome means of destruction.

Skell

Vehicle Mode

Vehicle mode Varies on Skell type!!!

There is a full cast of characters in the game that you can befriend to get some nifty equipment for you and your Skells. Some missions require that you get to know this people, travel with them and grow closer to them. That way you uncover their past and build your future. Don't get me wrong we are not talking about three or six characters. I have found nine recruit-able characters and counting. Not to mention the online feature where you can add other players avatars to your team. You can even make a list of your favorites, that way when you are stuck in a boss you can recruit some friends and get it done.

Some Playable Characters

The Story is Awesome, the Music is Awesome, the Graphics, Controls the whole game is as awesome as his predecessors. If you have not played this Game I don't know what are you waiting for. Here is a Video of the Game to make you think it better!!!!

That's all for today, this is -N- inviting you to get busy in the World of Xenoblade Chronicles X!!!

Outlast

    Since the beginning of the gaming era, developers have struggled to make a game that actually scared the hell out of us. Some have attempted it and all though the suspense is there, that thrill we get out of true horror has failed to be there. If we try to search for video games that fall under the  "scary" category, a few names come to mind such as; Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, Dead Island, Left 4 Dead and many more. They managed to keep us tense, but none have managed to have us at the edge of our seats quite like the mother of all the scary video game genera! Outlast!!
 

  This game is freaking scary. Who in his right mind enters an "abandoned" Mental Home? You that's who! 

  Outlast is a first-person survival/horror video game, developed and published by Red Barrels, a company founded by programmers previously involved with video game franchises such as Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and Uncharted. It was released on September 4, 2013 for Microsoft Windows, on February 4, 2014 for PlayStation 4 and on June 18, 2014 for Xbox One.

You can enter....... Can you get out?

Miles..... Not his best Moment.

   Miles Upshur: The protagonist of the game. A freelance journalist (With Iron Guts) whom uncovers secrets which resides within Mount Massive Asylum.









   Miles goes inside the Asylum armed only with his HD Camera... Yes, not an 9mm or an AK47. Just a recording device and 2AA batteries. Talk about crazy people! Ohh did I mention he goes in at Night?! I guess they no longer enforce visiting hours there.

   Miles, receives an anonymous tip from a source identified only as a Whistle-blower. The lead tells of inhumane experiments committed at Mount Massive Asylum, a remote psychiatric hospital situated deep in the mountains of Lake County, Colorado and owned by the Murkoff Corporation, who is known for its corrupt dealings. Entering the asylum, Upshur is horrified to discover the mutilated corpses of the staff, including a dying SWAT officer who warns him to get out while he still can. As he investigates further, Upshur finds the asylum's patients, known as "Variants", freely roaming the grounds being hostile towards him, particularly a hulking sadist named Chris Walker. Approached by Father Martin Archimbaud, a cult leader who considers himself a priest, tells Upshur he was sent by "God" to be his witness to the night's events. It soon becomes clear that Archimbaud has no intention of letting Miles escape, and that he worships a seemingly supernatural entity known only as The Walrider, which he claims caused the breakout.

Father Martin Archimbaud

   Father Martin Archimbaud: He considers himself a "priest" and helps Upshur throughout the game..... Or does he??

Chris L. Walker

   Chris L. Walker: The largest and strongest of the Variants. Walker pursues Upshur relentlessly throughout the game. This friendly fellow just wants to hug you and play with you.






   As the game progress you will find more and more "friendly" FACES like this fellow. They can be a little dramatic. Lets be real, this place is Hell. You don't know where or when some psycho deformed Variant will emerge and try to cut your head of. The music is awesome too. Some times there is an ominous music just to scare the hell out of you. But were you should be really scared is when silence fill the rooms

    There is a lot of Darkness,which can be troublesome. Your Camera is equipped with a night vision feature, but your battery will be depleted faster...... No Camera NO chance in Hell!!!!!!

Variant

    Variants: Hostile patients and inmates that roam the halls. These guys are vegetables at first but at some point they turn into Killing Machines. You don't have ways to stop them. But they will give chase until you escape or they catch you.

   They were patients and staff from the Asylum and experiments have turn them into this grotesque figures.

Please do not Disturb!!!

  Some people tried to play the game in total Darkness... HERE is how it went for them. LOL!

   I have seen the video a couple of times. And I remember my own fear going through the Asylum. If you are not scared yet. Try the game and tell us about your experience!

  Outlast has a DLC. Whistleblower, developed and published by Red Barrels Games. It is the prequel to Outlast, revealing the reasons of the Mount Massive Asylum outbreak. XXXX.SPOILER ALERT XXXX It also shows the true ending to the asylum after Miles . It was released for PlayStation 4 and PC on May 6th, 2014, and for Xbox One on June 18th, 2014.

    Similar to its predecessor, combat is impossible and the player must either run or hide from their enemies in order to stay alive. The players can hide in various spots in order to avoid their pursuers, such as nearby lockers, under the bed, in various corners or simply blending in with the darkness. Closing doors will impede enemies and squeezing through small spaces can lose them. Certain scripted events will require a specific action from the player. The only item the player has access to is his camcorder, which is automatically acquired after the main character breaks out of his holding cell. The camcorder is battery operated and comes with a night vision function which is used to navigate through dark areas. Batteries can be found in various spots, usually nearby electronic devices, such as radios, Walkie-talkies, etc. While the camcorder is up and filming, the character will write his thoughts in a notebook. Along the game, the player can pick up various documents, scattered throughout the asylum, that provide a background story for some of the characters. The documents appear as blue folders with "CONFIDENTIAL" stamped on the front. Aside from scavenging batteries and finding documents, certain tasks will require for the player to retrieve a key. If you played thought the main game, you must get the DLC.

   That's all for Outlast. This is -N- here daring you to be scared as hell in the Mount Massive Asylum!

Let's go Old School

 Let's Talk Old School!!!

Yes people we are talking about XENOGEARS!!!!!!

   Xenogears is a science-fiction role-playing video game developed and published by Squaresoft (now Square Enix) for Sony's PlayStation. It was released on February 11, 1998 in Japan later on that same year on October 20, 1998 it was released in North America. It was re-released by Squaresoft under a  Greatest Hits title in 2003, and on the PlayStation Network on June 25, 2008 for Japan users and on February 22, 2011 it was released in North America.

   Ever since 1998 everyone was expecting a New Xenogears fallowing the plot of the original; sadly enough this would not come to happen as his creator Tetsuya Takahashi left Squaresoft later on the same year it was released 1998 along with Hirohide Sugiura, another key person Xenogears creation process. Using funds from Namco, they started MonolithSoft along with the Xenosaga project.

    

   Two years later in March 2000 Sony released the Playstation 2 console. The PS2 was to rapidly become  the best selling console selling over 155 million units, later that year MonolithSoft was to release Xenosaga Episode 1.   The Xenosaga series serves as a spiritual successor to the game Xenogears. Episode 2 would come on in 2004 and Episode 3 in 2006. Later on MonolithSoft in collaboration with Nintendo came together to create Xenoblade Chronicles released on 2010; however it did not get to North America until 2012.There's big hype about a new Xenoblade coming out soon, but we have to wait until 2015.

BUT WE ARE TALKING OLD SCHOOL XENOGEARS HERE!!!!!!

If you don't know Xenogears here is some of the storyline behind it!

Xenogears centers around its protagonist, Fei Fong Wong, a young man in the village of Lahan. Fei was brought there by a mysterious "masked man" three years ago while gravely wounded, he was then adopted by the village chief, Chief Lee. The events that lead to Fei's grave injuries before his arrival at the village, have caused him to have retrograde amnesia.

 The story is really long, but not long enough to put you to sleep. The Battle system is not as simple as just pressing one button, as you progress and level up, you get more combos. Can you master each character? 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                This Is Fei Fong Wong (Heck of a Name) Fei is the main Character of the story. He's a very skilled Martial Arts Fighter, Fei can't remember much about his past. But trust me when I say he sure knows how to Fight. 

    Weltall is Fei's Gear, The Black Gear has many secrets. One of them is a series of Black Boxes that can be found inside of him. No one Knows what are they for. But you will find out later in the Story!

   He........ He is simply Called ID. OMG he is Awesome. I will NOT tell you who or why but he is one of the Many things that will keep you wanting to go further and further into the Story.

Weltall-Id

This guy here is Citan Uzuki, Dr Uzuki is one of Fei's companions. He is kind of a Pandoras Box full of secrets. On foot, Citan is one of the best fighters in the game, first displaying a blindingly swift hand to hand combat style and, upon regaining his sword, a sword style similar to that of Iaido. Citan's gear is Heimdal. 

The Sand Pirate Bart. Bartholomew Fatima nicknamed Bart, is leader of a group of sand pirates who ravage the desert in their sand cruiser, the Yggdrasil. He uses Whips to atack his pray. He Pilots Brigandier.

These are three of the Nine playable characters. All of them with their own set of Combos and Abilities. To me, this is my top team! 

Xenogears is a great game for that first generation of gamers born in in the 80's. If not, it is definitely a must play! You can have it rally cheap if you have a PSVita System. Just go to PSN and buy it.

Xenogears Characters

This particular game offers countless hours of game play, secrets to discover and more. You won't find this kind of game for the next gen consoles. At least not yet. Click HERE to see the intro video to this Awesome Game.
