In terms of sprite
designs, plot, and the overall exciting RPG experience, Final Fantasy VII
played a remarkable role in influencing the game our group is making now. To
this day, this game tells perhaps one of the most fascinating and compelling
stories, and remains a fan favorite despite being nearly two decades behind in
graphics and data capacity. With FF 7 also being the first game that I played, it was the first time that I learned that beautiful concept art could form the basis for simple sprites. The former played an absolutely essential role for the latter.
Pokemon Red and Blue
While Final Fantasy VII is nearly two decades behind in graphics, it may not be possible to compete with its level of graphics and complexity within the span of a semester, given the elaborate cut-scenes and mini-games it featured. Pokemon Red and Blue, also RPGs, were significantly simpler, with graphics that would hardly out perform the earliest video games, yet the game-play was positively addicting. Charmander's ember is remarkably simple, but super-effective.
