Remembering The Lord Of The Rings Game That Ripped Off Final Fantasy 10
The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age, developed by EA Redwood Shores, is remembered as a fun, albeit derivative, JRPG that heavily borrowed from Final Fantasy 10's turn-based combat and user interface. Despite its lack of originality, the game offered a compelling story set parallel to the film trilogy, customizable party members, and numerous unlockable movie clips. The article laments the current inaccessibility of the game, suggesting it deserves a remaster.
