PCGamesN Sunday, April 23, 2023 12:18 PM  This Xbox Steam sale is great if you don't have Xbox Game Pass, or even if you do but you'd rather own certain games on Valve's storefront. The gaming arm of Microsoft is currently selling loads of its developed and published back catalogue on Steam at a greatly discounted price, with Gears of War, Halo, Forza, Age of Empires, and plenty of incredible indie hits making the cut - some of these are so good, they may as well feel like free games.

When Sony released the PlayStation in Japan, it launched a system that would eventually become known for being home to some of the best RPGs at the time. After considering some PS4 and PS5 RPGs, we figured it'd be a good time to look back even further. Especially with Sony's recent initiatives meaning games like Legend of Dragoon are becoming playable on modern consoles again, we decided now would be a good time to talk about some PS1 RPGs we loved and would consider among the best again. When I was a young lass playing the PS1, I was only playing platformers or fighting games that didn't require a lot of reading. That's because I literally could not really read English thanks to the fact that I was ESL. I also couldn't read Chinese or Japanese, which really limited me to games that required no reading. So RPGs were literally unplayable for me. It took years later (when I learned English) for me to have access to PS1 games again, and hooo-ly, but it was a treasure trove back then. Parasite Eve, Final Fantasy IX, Persona 2... How did people in the late 1990s and early 2000s get anything done? Aside from those three, I also really enjoyed Tales of Eternia. I found the story good, the characters great (it was my first time experiencing this wonderful thing called "character development"), and the battle system was fun enough that I had a blast even if I couldn't understand a lick of what I was doing. — Stephanie
I definitely grew up a Nintendo kid, so I missed most of the PS1 library at the time, and Sony's emphasis on 3D over 2D in the West means a lot of fare is constructed with early wobbly polygons and doesn't age quite so well. Thankfully? RPGs are among the most insulated from this problem. Still though, as I'm still a Nintendo kid at heart, I'm picking a game that's just a Nintendo title with the serial numbers filed off. Tear Ring Saga wasn't a huge departure for Shouzou Kaga, creator of Fire Emblem. Or any departure at all! It's the direct successor to Thracia 776, in both narrative scope and gameplay ideas. And the handy work of the fan translation community has made it more accessible than ever. (And if you like it? The much more ambitious Berwick Saga on PS2 is worth a look.) — Graham I basically bought a PlayStation for Star Ocean: The Second Story. Back in the day, I stowed away video game magazine issues that essentially offered a full walkthrough for the game for years until I could finally afford to get the system and the title. When I did buy a used one, my first two titles were Star Ocean: The Second Story and Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure. In retrospect, I probably wouldn't call either the "best" the PS1 RPG the system had to offer, but Square Enix and Tri-Ace's PlayStation game will always be number one in my heart. — Jenni The post What Would You Consider the Best PS1 RPGs? appeared first on Siliconera. |

While Tatsuya Endo is best known for the manga Spy X Family at this point, the manga worked on many different titles. Often, certain themes or nothings feel like they're recurring. This feels especially true with Tista a past title Viz Media picked up for localization following Spy x Family's success, and it's fascinating to see how Endo tells this clandestine tale after getting to see the Forger family's adventures. The star of this manga is Tista, a young college student known for her supernatural accuracy. She's been raised as an assassin since she was a child by a church. While she starts out the series with something of an ordinary life, as she's attending college, we quickly see the costs that come with the unnatural vision she possesses and trauma she experienced both due to the church and the missions she's been forced to undertake. It's definitely darker in tone than Spy x Family, though there are moments when her life is calmer than others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9JOInoB94g&ab_channel=vizmedia In general, the concept feels familiar. Both Tista and Spy x Family play with the film noir genre. We're seeing two secretive agents. One is a more violent agent acting as an assassin. The other is a spy whose "wife" is an assassin. There's this balancing act where we see what their daily life is like. However, at the same time, flurried moments will involve leads taking on missions and even taking lives. We also have that element of an "ordinary" person on the outside looking in. Here, it's Arty. The two meet by chance on the street, and he asks for an opportunity to draw her. He learns the two both were attending the same school. However, after another encounter between the two during which he sees her other side, we're watching his take on her life and that drive to learn more. While with Anya in Spy x Family, this can lead to more serious situations, Tatsuya Endo presents more realistic and dangerous repercussions and situations for Arty and Tista both in Spy x Family. [caption id="attachment_960403" align="alignnone" width="1200"] Not to mention there's also the idea that maybe Tista and Spy x Family's Loid didn't necessarily have the most "choice" when it came to their positions. Tragedies in Loid's life left him feeling like becoming a spy was something he had to do. Tista was being groomed for the role as an assassin since she was a child, even to her own detriment. It also provides a fascinating parallel. While both Loid and Tista are doing things that would potentially be for the greater good, with her story we're seeing how this more negatively impacts her life. With Loid, his need to form the Forger family ends up being a more positive and, in some ways, healthier development for him. Put together and read alongside each other, both Tatsuya Endo's Tista and Spy x Family manga series are fascinating. The way the two seem to play with similar ideas in different ways is enthralling. Especially since each one better allows us to appreciate the levity and gravity in the other. The first volume of Tatsuya Endo's Tista manga is available in English via Viz media. The second volume will appear outside Japan on July 4, 2023. The first four chapters are in the Shonen Jump digital vault. Viz also handles the English Spy x Family releases, and the anime is on Crunchyroll. The post Tatsuya Endo's Tista Manga Feels a Bit Like Spy x Family appeared first on Siliconera. |
