Final Fantasy 7


Final Fantasy 7 is the first final fantasy adventure game I ever played. The first time I saw this game, different emotions came over me like amazement and admiration for the game. I was so excited of the elements present on this game like the casting of magic, the summoning of ancient beasts and guardians, the special skills of the characters when they reached their limits, and the awesome graphics. I love this game so much that I played this game for an uncountable number of times already. I love the side quests in this game like the chocobo race, a race of chicken like animal with strength of a horse. These chocobos are animals that we need to navigate the map much faster and convenient because when you ride them, you will not enter into random battles with enemies on the map.
There are different kinds of weapons and equipment on the game which I found interesting and helpful. These weapons not only give characters an edge against difficult enemies but also cool to look at and have different ability and support magic embedded on some of it. The main power of the characters come from different orbs they called a “materia”. These materias give characters the ability of magic, summon, support, and techniques they needed in order to gain an advantage in battles.

You will find this game worth playing at your free time. This also has a PSP version now aside from the original Playstation 1 version. And a DVD movie has been created too, it is entitled Final Fantasy Advent Children, this is actually a continuation of the ending story from Final Fantasy 7. Final Fantasy Advent Children contains great and impressive computer graphics that you will wonder how they did it. I recommend you to play the game first then watch its DVD movie version second, so that you can relate to the movie.

Breath of Fire 3


Breath of Fire 3 is the first Breath of fire series I ever played because the other series, 1 and 2, were on the family computer or SNES (I think), that is why I hadn’t got the chance to play those games and I am sad and disappointed about it because this game is the one of the best RPG or role playing game in the Playstation. The storyline of the game consist of the protagonist who is a lone survivor from the lost race of dragons. These dragons have the ability to change into human form at will, and only change into dragon form if really needed to do so. This game features adventure and role playing as you will embark on the journey for the truth of why the dragons no longer exist in this world. You will face many enemies and obstacles throughout your journey. There are also featured mini games here. Example of this is the fairy mini game that you can do aside from continuing on with your journey.

Helping you on your quest are your allies you find along the way which consist of a princess, a scholar, two juvenile thieves, a guardian and an experimental plant. These characters have different abilities and magic powers which I really love. By the way my favorite magic element is the ice element, I always imagine myself casting ice magic but I don’t know why.
The main character has the ability to change into different forms of dragons depending on the element you chose to combine or splice at the menu option for splicing genes to be able to change into dragon form. Examples of these dragons are the following: fire dragon, ice dragon, normal dragon, dark dragon, holy dragon, behemoth, mammoth, and many more. As the name implies on those dragons, they have different abilities and magic depending on the element on those dragons.
In addition, you can also learn skills from your enemies by selecting the examine button when you encounter an enemy or enemies. You can also learn abilities by enrolling your characters at masters that you can find at the game. Masters can also affect the characters stats when they gain a level. For example, a master who specializes in attack will let you gain twice the attack that you normally receive at level up, but the only set back is some stats will also decrease for example your intelligence stats. It is wise to put a master that specializes in attack in your character that is strong so that he or she will get stronger and a master that specializes in intelligence, in your character that is a magic caster.
I love this game so much I played more than ten times already. It is a very addictive game to those who love adventure games. Anyway, this game is really for all those role playing game fanatics out there.
