I can't remember others I am too old

ciel is like 46.

The following comes in no particular order.

A Blurred Line Anyone who didn't find the writing in general of this game compelling is to be shot, effective immediately. However, many insists on ABL having terrible graphics, gameplay and general shittyness when it doesn't concern the writing - that's where they are wrong. Compare it to every single other game at the time and it looks AND plays better than the vast majority. The (ripped) soundtrack) was a brilliant little nostalgia-jukebox and the mini-games/multiple paths/skillsystem is STILL WAY ahead of practically ALL of us.

Sunset over Imdahl It's obvious, isn't it? Swedes stand up for eachother. Also, apart from having a nice MIDI-Vivaldi soundtrack and just outstandning graphics, the story to this game was equally brilliant. With the help of some simple mini-games, this game makes me think we will never see the likes of this again.

A Home Far Away In the department of entertaining and pleasantness, this game is just win-win. You forget the ripped graphics, the usual RM-fuckery and it just sucks you in.

Runner-ups (too lazy to write something proper):
Demon Legacy (I do not get this Shadar-craze, but must confess that this game is overall very good.)
FF: Endless Nova (Early game that looks and plays pretty well for it's age... atleast for a while)
Cavern of Doom (Ã…Ã…Ã…Ã…Ã…Ã…Ã…Ã…Ã…H Ã…Ã…Ã…Ã…Ã…Ã…KE!!!11ettett)
The Frozen World (Lysander fanboi)
The Blue Contestant (Lysander fanboi)
Book of Three (Lysander fanboi)
Kinetic Cipher (Brilliant gameplay, consistant graphics and overall a good game that DESERVED MORE ATTENTION)

Games I just can't bring myself to like:
Alter Aila
Atlr Ealai
aTll raeli
alt arrt

... Okay, I can see people who think World of Warcraft is a good game when you spend the first 30 hours doing things less productive than repeatedly slamming your head on a concrete wall, LIKING the concept of having to play an RPG for HOURS without any story or characters whatsoever and then playing it for the fifth time actually try and find SOME traces of character-development, as is Alter Aila.

However, I am not one of those people. I mean, the game is pretty well-made in all other areas; even the generic battles work pretty well (as long as you don't have to do them for the timeperiod and repetition described above) but the story and character-development is alot worse than, say Cavern of Doom.

Hmmm...haven't played that one, think I'll check it out.

Shadar is one of the few RM* villains that is actually kind of cool.

Seriously, find me a more memorable one. =P

Stupidest Game Ever Save Point.. I win! haha. Shadar's a close second.

You may or may not be surprised by my agreement with most of this.

Be sure to check out its remake AAG, because one of the things it touts is a 78.52% improvement in storyline and chara development :)

I know that you are aware of this because I always rant whenever I see something about AA :L. And I think I did play it for a little while, but I don't remember anything about it right now.... hmm

The Raven from Clouded Heart had a pretty cool backstory. Also, The Way had Strata and the Phantom Slasher.

Otherwise I can't really think of anybody else.

I haven't played Clouded Heart, so I suppose I couldn't say.

And Strata and the Phantom Slasher were interesting I guess, but I'm talking more archetypal, here.

Kersh...Agent Kersh.

Whether or not Kersh is actually a villain is up to debate!

Remember, he ends up being married to the Emily chick he kidnaps. (details, details!)

I remember playing The Way and genuinely hating Strata. He was a really memorable RM jerk.

Did Lys ever finish ABL...?
