JRPG's are still doing well. Among other things, due to the success of the Final Fantasy series, the genre managed to not miss the 2020s and still attracts thousands of gamers. The creators of the latest productions have adapted the gameplay to modern standards, leaving a few characteristics untouched (for example, the fighting model) and reg from the most burdensome ones (for example, the constant respawning of enemies).
Septerra has all the advantages and disadvantages of the genre as it entered the current century. The players have to repeat cutscenes patiently, fight their way through the hosts of anonymous mobs and... take into that they may not complete the game at all if they encounter one of the terminal bugs. I experienced it halfway through the game one time. The last patch was released in 2009. It fixed some problems, but not all of them.
The story itself, however, is worth the hustle. The main character, Maya, along with some really well-written companions, must save the world. A certain group that threatens the balance of seven continents that orbit around a giant biocomputer. It may sound sort of naïve on paper, but in practice, Septerra feels like the best fantasy books or movies. It's hard to believe that hardly anyone re this game today. If you're among them, share that in the comments!
Wizardry 8 is a real giant. Although players may experience quite abrupt scaling of opponent's levels, which means that, at some point, it is better to postpone the advancement to the sixth level in time, the plot and the huge world compensate for almost all gameplay ills. Which doesn't mean that the series culmination does not deserve a decent remake.
