Remembering an underappreciated JRPG trilogy

As gamers, we spend a lot of time playing God. Whether it’s building worlds in Minecraft or destroying them in Skyrim, we’re always looking for ways to manipulate forces that are normally beyond our control.

Some games even allow us to play God in less subtle ways. Simulation games like Ubisoft’s From Dust and 2K’s Civilization series allow us to steer the course of history and directly guide the fates of entire populations.

These deity simulators are all well and good, but what if you want a more personal holy adventure? What if instead of playing as a god, you want to work for one? Or destroy one?

Well then, you need to check out the Soul Blazer trilogy.
