Ben Starr si improvvisa esperto di JRPG, per guidarci nella scelta del prossimo titolo Square Enix da comprare.
I saldi della casa di Final Fantasy proseguono per tutto marzo 2025.
Trascrizione
00:00Hi, I'm Ben Starr, professional actor, professional idiot and self-certified professional suggester of RPGs.
00:06It's a proper thing. Please don't look it up, I beg of you.
00:09As both a very real, not at all pretend connoisseur of games and Final Fantasy XVI's Clyde Rossfield,
00:15I've been tasked by my overlords and contractual best friend Square Enix to harness my arrogant self-belief in my own brilliance,
00:22look back on the last year of RPG releases and help you answer the age-old question.
00:26What should I play next?
00:29The short answer is, and always will be, Final Fantasy VIII.
00:32But sometimes you just need to go outside and smell the other games.
00:37Take a sniff on the wild side.
00:38Based on some rather extravagant and life-threatening unsupervised research I did in the car park outside,
00:43many of these games also feature in the Square Enix publisher sale that is live right now.
00:49Wow, Ben! You put your life in danger so that you could bring us these incredible game-based findings?
00:55Of course I did. Admittedly, I didn't know that what I was reading was life-threatening at the time,
00:58and certainly I didn't know that it was black magic.
01:01But I did it anyway, because the dark arts are hot. Just ask Lulu.
01:05So, to kick things off, let me ask you a simple question.
01:08Do you like P.E.A.K.?
01:10Of course you do!
01:11So let me strongly suggest that you should play the critically acclaimed masterpiece Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
01:16This globetrotting adventure follows Cloud Strife and his allies on a mission to stop the antagonist Sephiroth.
01:21It's a truly epic journey.
01:23Add to that an incredible story, beautiful visuals, massive amount of things to see and do,
01:26and some of the most iconic characters in gaming.
01:29I see you, Tifa and Aerith.
01:31And you have a real winner.
01:33But while Final Fantasy VII Rebirth lets you hang out with beloved old friends,
01:37what if you wanted to meet some new ones?
01:38If you still have an eye for action, you should check out Visions of Mana.
01:42The latest release from the legendary Mana series is an action RPG,
01:45and features a vibrant cast of heroes as they venture on a journey of a lifetime to the fabled Mana Tree.
01:50It has everything an RPG should.
01:52Combat.
01:53Drama.
01:54Adventure.
01:55Torgal!
01:57I mean, pickles!
01:59What more could you want?
02:00Now, if you're the kind of person who likes to take their time strategizing in battles,
02:04let me bring Phantasian Neo Dimension to your attention.
02:08Yeah, that rhymes.
02:09It comes from the original creator of Final Fantasy himself, Hironobu Sakaguchi.
02:14Some call him the father of the series, but wait, does that make him my dad too?
02:19Of course it doesn't. That would be absolutely insane. How would that even work?
02:22Explore the world through beautiful environments
02:24created from more than 150 handcrafted dioramas.
02:28It's fast, it's fun, and offers that classic turn-based Final Fantasy feel.
02:33Best of all, you can switch the battle music to Final Fantasy XVI's.
02:36Come to me, Phantasian!
02:40Of course, if it's that classic Final Fantasy vibe you're after,
02:44then you can also just play some classic Final Fantasies.
02:48The Final Fantasy Pixel Remastered Series updates the first six games in the series
02:52with beautiful new pixel art and loads of quality of life features,
02:55like auto-battle, experience boosters, and more.
02:58And the music. Oh, the music.
03:01Speaking of legendary games, have you ever played Dragon Quest III?
03:05It's one of the most influential games of all time.
03:07If you've ever played a Japanese RPG, it'll probably owe a debt to this undisputed classic.
03:12Now it's back, with Dragon Quest III HD 2D Remake,
03:16a stunning reimagining of the beloved masterpiece
03:19and the narrative beginning of the Erdrick Trilogy.
03:21Basically, one of the greatest RPGs of all time is now better.
03:24Kind of a no-brainer, really.
03:26All these games have amazing stories, but what if you want to guide your own?
03:29That's one of the best things about Romancing Saga 2 Revenge of the Seven.
03:33You're in charge. In this non-linear RPG,
03:35the inheritance system allows you to rule and expand an empire across multiple generations.
03:40Whether you're an empress, an emperor, or Salamander.
03:43As far as I'm concerned, there's been far too much Salamander erasure of late,
03:46and I'm glad that someone's finally speaking up for the scaly kind.
03:49Depending on how you approach each scenario, the story can play out differently.
03:53Snappy and satisfying combat with unique mechanics.
03:56If you've never played a saga game before, this is the place to start.
04:01And finally, what if you want something with a handsome and charismatic lead?
04:05Then I suggest you should play, oh, what a surprise, Final Fantasy XVI.
04:10Now also on PC.
04:12It's an epic story full of fast-paced action, incredible storytelling,
04:15insanely good performances, and massive icon battles that'll leave you breathless.
04:21And that's just a small selection of the great RPG titles
04:24currently in the Square Enix publisher sale.
04:26Right, I'm off.
04:29How do I get this out of here?
04:40FINAL FANTASY XVI
04:43COMING SOON
