The Medieval setting has long been a favorite for fiction writers due to the turmoil and rapid changes experienced throughout the time. From Tolkein's Lord Of The Rings to the Fate/Stay Night anime series, all forms of media can make use of this genre in some format, and video games are certainly no exception. Arguably innovating and revolutionizing the RPG genre more than any other setting, the Medieval period offers a blend of the brutal hard-living of the times along with mysticism and fantasy as was often recorded in the histories of the people who lived in that era.
