    The Classic RPGs that Skipped Europe

    I got my first console back in the late nineties when I was around twelve - a PS1. In the preceding months, I spent hours thumbing through gaming magazines and getting excited about specifically playing Final Fantasy VIII (which was due out soon) and Final Fantasy VII (which I'd bought a magazine walkthrough for even though I didn't yet own the game). When the PlayStation was finally in my hands, those were the first two games I played, along with a couple of platformers which I quickly realised were too frustrating and absolutely not for me. Final Fantasy, RPGs, and especially turn-based battle systems absolutely were, though. Those two games were my gateway into the genre, and I made it my mission (or main story quest, as it were) to play as many RPGs as I could get my hands on. Little did I know, this would lead me to a bunch of really fantastic games and also some significant disappointment.
