My brother and I have struggled for years to remember the name of a game we played when we were younger.
We played multiplayer on the PC, but we often downloaded emulators and played games, so that may mean nothing.
If I had to guess a time period where we played it, I would say sometime between 2000-2008.
The game itself had the option of choosing non-customized characters such as witch, archer, hunter, and I think one more. I remember it being sort of a level-clearing game. You could level up the character, and in fact needed to to defeat high-leveled monsters on certain levels (these high levels often consisted of dragons, whether fire, ice, or electric). Dungeon-like maps, but there were some areas that were outside. Could be played single player or multiplayer.
There's separate game that I remember from around the same time. This one is more vague. I sort-of-kind-of remember the main character waking up in a dungeon, and having to escape... then having to travel the world in order to succeed in idon'tevenknowwhat. In my mind I see it being an open-world concept, as I see the character traveling through fields, and ravines, sometimes a desert-like place. Graphics were somewhat decent for the time that it was created.
fight style similar to Zelda, I'm almost positive it was NOT turn-based battling (AKA, definitely NOT a FF game).
Thanks in advance!
