It&#8217;s a point that lends itself perfectly well to videogames, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll agree.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWhen it comes to the golden age of the JRPG I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ve all got our own thoughts. The early 90s are always hard to argue against, when you had Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy in their 16-bit pomp while the likes of Earthbound and Chrono Trigger offered fascinating twists on the form. Maybe it&#8217;s the mid-00s, when Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy delivered their two finest entries &#8211; for me, anyway &#8211; within a year of each other with Journey of the Cursed King and FF12. Perhaps it&#8217;s that weird purple patch that brought us Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon in quick succession.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/a-new-golden-age-for-jrpgs\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source &#8211; eurogamer.net<\/p>\n<p>All content and images belong to their respected owners.
