What's up, RMers?

I've been thinking about games nowadays falling upon old and classic terms for support.  I mean, potions all the time, terms like Aura or Mana or the like, and don't get me going on things like swords.  If you're in a fantasy world, do you think you'd encounter a freakin' Ninja?  Sorry Yuffie.  I might have a world with horses, but how about a horse with thick ebony green scales and talons for hooves and that like to eat meat?

What about a hairy half-plant horse with tentacles coming out of its mane due to a diet consisting of toxic monsters?


That's a Mallicant from Final Fantasy XII.

Hilariously, the only RPGs I can think of that still feature potions are the Final Fantasy series presumably becaue it's always been like that.
