"The Garden of Eden in Video Games A Study in Archetypes The Garden of Eden story is one that has interested me for many years. But even more interesting that the story itself is the way that it has been used and retold in media over the last couple thousand years or so. Right down to the video games that we play. This story has so engrained itself into our culture and media that it almost goes completely unnoticed anymore. Yet after analyzing many video games it turns out this motif is quite common in origin stories. I bring up [--] here. What other games do you feel follow this archetype **Were"

"Should Final Fantasy DOWNGRADE to AA State of the Arc Podcast Join us and @TheNightSkyPrince as we discuss the future of Final Fantasy. AAA games have massive budgets and have become risky investments which is why most studios prefer to play it safe when handling hundreds of millions of dollars to create one game. The downside of this is that players are left with a homogenized product that doesn't look or feel too different from the other games being heavily marketed. How competitive has Final Fantasy been in this strategy Let us know your thoughts and leave a comment if you would like to"
