Tasty homemade fanzine HyperPlay RPG is preparing for its biggest and best issue yet, looking back at the Japanese role-playing greats from the PSone era. For many, the original PlayStation proved to be a haven for JRPG fans, and this latest edition will cast its eye over classics like Xenogears, Legend of Dragoon, and Final Fantasy IX.
The mag's been running for over 18 months now and has accrued an audience of over 1,000 readers. Previous issues have included features on Final Fantasy IV and Secret of Mana, and you can purchase any back issues through here. Our friends over at Nintendo Life have even reviewed some of the issues, so you can be guaranteed that you're getting a top-notch fanzine here.
If you're interested in buying this PSone issue -- and let's be honest, you should be -- then keep your eye on HyperPlay RPG's website for issue availability. The fanzine's only available physically -- "quality material to enjoy away from a bright screen" -- but will ship worldwide, so do take a look if this is your kind of thing.

I would rank PS1 behind SNES in terms overall library (I have SNES in my top 2, PS1 just outside my top 5) but as far as JRPGs, those are probably the two greatest consoles of all-time. I never cared for the Final Fantasies post SNES-era but there's no denying their legacy. My favorites on PSone included Legend of Mana, Parasite Eve 1 and 2 and Brave Fencer Musashi.
It's amazing how good of a game Xenogears is despite the financial setbacks the game suffered from to favour Final Fantasy VIII.
