Dragon Divinity

Posted on May 30, 2019 by Nathan

I can think of a few different video games with dragon gods, or at least dragons with celestial powers. I suppose that fits in with the East Asian conception of dragons, where they tend to be heavenly beings rather than … Continue reading →

Dragons Is the Craziest Peoples

Posted on May 24, 2019 by Nathan

It seems like dragons becoming human or humans becoming dragons is a pretty common theme. I guess it makes sense for a person who turns into animals to become a dragon, as they’re big, powerful, and often intelligent as well. … Continue reading →

Zugzwang Got Me in a Way

Posted on October 17, 2018 by Nathan

Dragon Quest V is sort of a sequel to Dragon Quest IV, which sounds painfully obvious, but really isn’t. The numbers simply refer to release order, not the order in which the games take place; and many of them aren’t … Continue reading →

Holy Ghost in the Machine

Posted on March 27, 2015 by Nathan

It’s a well-known fact that, back in the earlier days of Nintendo, they censored a lot of religious references in the English translations of games. It’s stated here that their policy was to exclude “symbols that are related to any … Continue reading →

Final Fakery

Posted on November 29, 2014 by Nathan

The TV Tropes page on Urban Legends of Zelda (good name, by the way) had a link to this post from the alt.games.final-fantasy newsgroup, which brought back some memories. I read that group pretty regularly back when I started college, … Continue reading →

Dragon Warrior Women

Posted on November 7, 2014 by Nathan

While most of the heroes in the Dragon Quest games are male by default, a few of them let you choose the gender. The first game to provide this option is Dragon Quest III, which is interesting as the game … Continue reading →

Dragon Comedy

Posted on June 2, 2010 by Nathan
