Not that I don't like the more recent articles - it's just that noone ever tried to review 1980s games. I must be the only one who follows your VN of the year 1983 and 1984 issues and mostly because I do pretty much the same. At vndbreview I've tried to sum up some thoughts on the ancient visual novels and would be happy if someone found them useful.kivandopulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776106385265440394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579165602353403023.post-82356774227233310322017-07-23T11:55:19.267-07:002017-07-23T11:55:19.267-07:00Thanks for the comment!

I do prefer the pixels of the original Famicom release, though ;) As for the gameplay and story, I thought both were at least "fine" in both versions I've played so far (Famicom and DS). Like you suggested, neither aspect are up to par with what's offered in FF IV, V and VI, for instance, but they're definitely far beyond what's found in the first two Final Fantasy games.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579165602353403023.post-52585434452999559662017-05-27T20:37:25.285-07:002017-05-27T20:37:25.285-07:00Thanks for commenting!
