A Couple and their infant child go to slay some monsters, unfortunately they got more than they bargained for. The 2 are killed and the child is Spared.........well, mostly, if you count 2 Curses, 1 that prevents them from bearing children with other humans and the other making them age 50 times faster spared. The Gods decide "Well that's unsportsmanlike." and decide to help out, mostly to deal with the former curse's loophole as they aren't human. Yeah that's right, you making babies with the Gods, and which ones you do mate with affect everything from the kid's appearance, their elemental talents, etc. For those jarred by that no it's not fanservicey or anything, the game treats it surprisingly mundane (You select a God/Goddess from a Menu, you get a line, you see the Clan Member and God Portraits, then see double helixes fly in the air and you then see the new Clan Member.). You also have different Classes. The game is predominately a Dungeon Crawler where you fight Monsters and Demons, the Bosses of which when you fulfill the conditions upon beating them (Usually Multiple Times.) they will ascend to Heaven to be MORE Gods you can mate with. This game takes the term 'Generational' And REALLY runs with it, you're characters will die for real after a set amount of time, hence the need to mate with the Gods to begin with. This is a great game we really should have gotten. GOG, perhaps you'd care to be the one who does it?

Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur MachtXenosaga: Episode I - Der Wille zur Macht, the first chapter of a trilogy, is a Japanese-style sci-fi role-playing game, sharing many common themes and gameplay elements with Xenogears.
The battle system is not unlike the one used in Xenogears (combo attacks, AP and EP gauges, etc.), but random encounters are eliminated. Instead, the enemies are now visible and battles can be avoided. During combat the few upcoming ally and enemy turns are shown onscreen, allowing the player to make strategic decisions based on who will act next. A rolling slot moves with each turn as well, conferring a bonus such as added damage or bonus XP for any action on that turn. If the enemy would be in position to take an advantage then the player can expend a character's "boost" gauge to cut in and act next, although enemies can boost as well, and enemy boosts always over-ride player boosts.
Each character has a unique tree of Ether spells they can learn by spending Ether points earned in battle, with lower spells requiring spells above them to be purchased first. After a spell is purchased, so long is it does not require a unique talent of that character, the spell can also be purchased and learned by any other character that can afford double its normal cost. The Anti-Gnosis Weapon Systems can be equipped with different weapons and accessories and can be used in combat provided that a character has enough AP on that turn to board their AGWS.Trending Fantasy Science fiction

Wizardry Gaiden III: Scripture of the DarkWizardry Gaiden III: Scripture of the Dark is a Role-Playing game, developed by Sir-Tech Software Inc. and published by ASCII Entertainment, which was released in Japan in 1993.
While the first two Gaiden games, Wizardry Gaiden: Suffering of the Queen and Wizardry Gaiden II: Curse of the Ancient Emperor, stuck fairly close to each-other and to Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom, Scripture of the Dark started introducing more radical changes to the formula. This was mostly in the form of incorporating elements of Wizardry VI: Bane of the Cosmic Forge, but retaining the core gameplay derived from Wizardry V.
