In the early 90s, Coktel Vision (which later became Sierra On-Line) released a quirky point and click adventure game titled Gobliiins which had players bouncing between three different Goblins to find a cure for good King Angoulafre.

Today we’re looking at what has rapidly become an absolute favorite in the open-world RPG genre for me. An interesting story, memorable NPCs, stunning visuals, and a setting absolutely dripping with flavor, Dread Delusion sets its tone immediately and sticks with it.
I enjoy simulation-type games, and I enjoyed the original release of House Flipper, but I never got around to getting the DLC. When the remastered version of the game was released, I figured it would be the best way to experience the DLC while checking out how the base game was upgraded.

What are the most impactful video games you've ever played?
That's the question we posed to our team here at Chalgyr's Game Room. We didn't propose a particular order, we didn't want to pigeonhole our responses to a platform, genre or generation. We framed this challenge around not what games were critical darlings, commercial successes or even just popular during a certain time, but which ones were personally impacting to us. The lists were great, but the explanations were particularly interesting.
Well, it has been a few weeks since our last installment. This time we take a very Final Fantasy-centric look at music. Starting with...
Final Fantasy VII (PS1) - Tifa's Theme
Emotional with a tinge of the ominous. The sustained notes are brilliant touch at creating so effective a mood with this one.
Final Fantasy IV (DS) - Theme of Love
This theme will instantly make you believe that, yes, love and magic are real and wonderful experiences.
Final Fantasy X (PS2) - Suteki da ne
Once again I will have to say this: I haven't played a lick of FFX, but boy do I enjoy the music immensely. Suteki da ne (which means "isn't it wonderful?") was the first time I heard a song from Final Fantasy that had vocals, and I instantly fell in love with it. I don't often find myself listening to Japanese music a whole lot (with vocals even less), but there's a certain Studio Ghibli-esque vibe to it that I couldn't pass up on!
Final Fantasy X (PS2) - Otherworld
Now this is more like it! Those wailing, cauling guitars; those gruff, growling vocals; those industrial metal-like lyrics. Heavy metal in Final Fantasy? Surely you jest. The last place I'd expected to find such a thrashing, headbanging composition, Otherworld hits you like a spiked wall at full speed.
Final Fantasy VIII (PC) - Don't Be Afraid
This is the kind of tune I used to hum to myself whenever doing something extraordinarily epic and daring:
i.e., ramming my Hot Wheels cars into each other and imagining Michael Bay-esque explosions and John Woo-esque slow-motions.
I still remember my first Final Fantasy title - the very first one when I had a chance to play it on the NES. I had a buddy who bought it and absolutely hated it, and was looking to trade it. By that time I had beaten Metroid more times than I could count, so when he offered the swap I took it. I love Metroid but Final Fantasy and its future iterations were on a whole different level for me. Final Fantasy IV is a game I have not played in years, but recall incredibly fondly. Thankfully the JRP genre seems to hold up well over time, because any time you go back to an old favorite, there is the chance that nostalgia will be replaced by disappointment. Not the case here for me with Final Fantasy IV.
