Foundation: Episode III - The Top 25 Square Games

Foundation: Episode III - The Top 25 Square Games 09.08.02 Kevin Leung Last time on Looking Glass: Foundation Episode II. Do you still have the original NES cartridge of Final Fantasy? Good. Hold it up to your ear; I think you can hear it talk: “Listen here, kiddo. Back in my day, we didn’t need no fancy three-dee graphics! All them pretty FMV movies you see just rot your brain! It’s like candy! No good fer ya. We had to rough it out, see - it was all about the gameplay! Gunblades and Summon Monsters didn’t mean squat if all ya had was a handful of experience points! Psh, a whole lotta good that’ll do ya. What’s that? Emerald Weapon? I’ll beat him with my cane and one hand tied behind my back! Try the Warmech! Ya darn tootin’ that’s a boss! Now, there’s something that’ll put colour in your cheekbones. And when did everything get so darn expensive??? In my day, 3 gold coins could get you a sword, a phoenix down, an airship, and a good night’s sleep at the inn! You kids should be grateful for everything ya got. We didn’t have no CD-ROM format. If you pushed the power button and all ya got was a grey screen and some funny lookin’ symbols, that meant your cartridge ain’t workin’, boss. Ya had to blow inside the cartridge, ya see. Yeah, just blow in there and make sure all that space dust was gone. Speakin’ of which, why don’t you dust me off and gimme another spin, huh? Whaddya say? Then we can go listen to some real rock, none of this Linkin Park noise…” Plays like: Your father’s Dungeons & Dragons combined with your little brother’s Lego. “It’s the first Final Fantasy, what more needs to be said? Without this game, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the other plethora of Square games. Period.”
