Overview & Key Takeaways

Whether you're a fan of CrossCode or Final Fantasy, there's an amazing selection of JRPGs to be found over at the GOG JRPG sale.

It’s a great time to be a PC gamer whose primary gaming storefront is GOG, particularly if you’re a fan of Japanese role-playing games. Head on over to GOG now, and you’ll see that the storefront is offering some steep discounts on JRPGs.

The low prices on some of the greatest JRPGs are due to the storefront celebrating the Mana franchise making its debut on GOG, with Square Enix’s 2020 HD remasterThe Legends of Mana and the 2021 release of Trials of Mana. The two aforementioned games are also included in the sale, at 60% and 70% off, respectively.

While originally a side-story spin-off to Square’s Final Fantasy, the Mana franchise became its own thing with Secret of Mana, its second installment. Though GOG's selection focuses on more recent titles, both games, and especially The Legends of Mana, are a great starting point for new fans.

However, as mentioned above, the main reason to celebrate the Mana franchise’s debut is the hefty discounts on a variety of fantastic JRPGs. We’ve listed a handful below that deserve your time and, if you’re so inclined, your money.

There are plenty of Final Fantasy games involved in the GOG sale, but you certainly can’t go wrong with either Final Fantasy 7 or Final Fantasy 8 Remastered. The former remains such a popular pick among Final Fantasy fans that it even has its own remake, whereas the latter features an iconic and beloved cast of characters that’s still regularly discussed today.

If you’re looking for something different from Final Fantasy, however, Romancing SaGa is the way to go. The franchise prioritizes non-linear and often emergent gameplay, with the remasters and later games adopting far more modern features (such as new game plus) to entice players into yet another playthrough.

GOG JRPG sale has an abundance of phenomenal JRPGs on offer. So run, don’t walk, to that sale and grab the games that speak to you before the discounts end on June 8.

Wardogs Devs Are Watching Economy Cheaters Like Hawks

With the FPS Wardogs(https://www.gamespot.com/games/wardogs/) dominating the Steam charts, developer Bulkhead is paying close attention to the game's various systems. The studio recently dropped a new patch that makes some necessary changes(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/wardogs-patch-notes-scheduled-maintenance-and-patch-0-11/) for server stability, while confirming that the team has their eyes on cheaters and exploiters. As part of Patch 0.11(https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1867240/view/701027323413005176?l=english), which came out on September 14, Bulkhead announced that should any dogs of war take advantage of Wardogs' economy by farming servers, they'll find themselves either temporarily or permanently banned from the game. "As an early access game, we’re not perfect, and we never will be," Bulkhead said in the patch notes. "But if you do find something and take advantage of it, we have decided to come down hard." To be specific, Bulkhead outlined three different scenarios that will come with three different repercussions depending on the type of exploit you partake in. Scenario 1: Stockpiling money by abusing cash exploits and bugs will result in a timed ban, with the length determined by whether you were banned previously. Your cash and experience will get reset, too. Scenario 2: Showing economy exploits through tutorial content will be treated as "advertising cheats," resulting in a permanent ban. However, if you happen to stumble upon an exploit and share that with Bulkhead on Discord or social media, that'll be seen as an "alert," which prevents you from being permanently banned. Scenario 3: If you're farming experience via server exploits, which Bulkhead says will result in "the most serious bans," your account will get banned permanently. The studio clarified, though, that it's open to feedback on this policy, stating that these positions could change if enough people believe they're too harsh. "In the very early stages of finding these issues you may find yourself getting away with it, but it doesn't take long for our backend data to flag abusers," Bulkhead said, "Effectively, if you find something and you then keep doing it, over and over again, that is abuse of an exploit. If you figure something out and test it once or twice, no biggy, thanks for helping us QA." Wardogs is currently Steam's hottest game right now, with over 320,000 people playing at the time of writing. It didn't have the smoothest of starts(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/wardogs-has-a-massive-start-on-steam-but-players-face-brutal-sever-queues/), but the kinks are getting ironed out as the days go on. Players are a little riled up at the moment, though, particularly because people don't know how to close the door behind them(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/wardogs-players-really-want-you-to-close-the-doors-or-else/).
