RRPG Two-Cents: Hideki Kamiya’s Dream Will Never Come

Kyle R. Smith

Sad as it may seem, but it is the stone cold truth if Capcom continues in not giving a damn about their past employees. I want a remake of Viewtiful Joe and/or Devil May Cry from Hideki Kamiya as much as the next guy. However, as long as Capcom continues this path with being the laughing stock of the industry, that will never happen. My two-cents on that after the break! Oh, and stay tuned for after the two-cents video as I have an announcement in relation to The Game…

Kyle R. Smith

Welcome back to RRPG’s Final Fantasy Retrospective! For this time around in Episode 8, Hironobu Sakaguchi and Square Enix decided to stray away from doing another traditional installment. They wanted to experiment in a new direction for Final Fantasy’s eleventh, mainline entry; being derived as an evolution of MUDs that became popular in older computers during the 70s and 80s, that genre would evolve itself into Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games which Richard Garriott’s own Ultima Online started the movement. After Sony Online Entertainment’s own EverQuest came out, and revolutionized…

Fire Emblem Warriors has finally arrived on the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo 3DS!

Kyle R. Smith

Welcome back to RRPG’s Final Fantasy Retrospective! Episode 6 explores two other entries in the PlayStation’s library, Final Fantasy VIII and IX. Now, Final Fantasy VIII was the next game to be envisioned by the team behind Final Fantasy VII, as it went for a game with a more brighter atmosphere that had dark overtones in its overall delivery. While being considered one of the most polarizing entries in the original Playstation’s library like Final Fantasy II on the Famicom, the eighth installment had its own merits; it becomes just…
