Fantasian: Neo Dimension Available Now

Edward Harding — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 16:00:32 +0000

It is rare that a Square Enix game flies under my radar, especially one boasting the creative duo behind Final Fantasy: Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu as lead designer and composer respectively. Fantasian was originally released exclusively for the Apple Arcade back in 2021. Now this week Square Enix has saw fit to make the game available for a wider audience by releasing the game for both…

Life is Strange: Double Exposure (Xbox Series X) Review

Taylor Bauer — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 15:00:38 +0000

Life is Strange gained a passionate fanbase following one of the most memorable stories in video games upon its release in 2015. Max and Chloe are synonymous with the medium’s most emotional, effective narratives since its inception. Since then, we’ve experienced relatively good entries in the spin-offs and prequels that repackage the experience of the original. Storywise, however…

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and 16 profit didn’t “meet expections”

Keiran McEwen — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 13:00:08 +0000

To say the recent form of Square Enix has been like a rollercoaster would be a nice way of putting the C-suite’s poor decisions. The Japanese publishing giant in recent years has gone down the blockchain and AI rabbit hole, not just once but also “triples down” and further ratifications of this sentiment to do questionable things. All of which is easily contributable to the neverending desire for…

Is Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake for Newcomers

Taylor Bauer — Thu, 05 Sep 2024 15:00:31 +0000

If you’ve never played a Dragon Quest game before, you might feel torn about the upcoming release of Dragon Quest III HD-2D. Maybe you’re drawn to the HD-2D style utilized in releases like Octopath Traveler or the LIVE-A-LIVE remake, but you do not know the series. Starting on the third entry feels wrong, doesn’t it? This is a great place to start and we’re going to talk about a few reasons why.

Final Fantasy XIV (PC) Review

Edward Harding — Tue, 02 Jul 2024 17:00:44 +0000

I’ve heard a lot of positive things about Final Fantasy XIV. People say it’s one of the best MMOs out there and with the new expansion on the horizon, I figured it was about time to jump in and see if the game stands up to the rest of the series. A Realm Reborn (which it is no longer called) covers the entire base game, and the title is certainly evocative of the game’s history.

There’s a lot to love about the Kingdom Hearts franchise if you’re a JRPG fan, a Disney fanatic, and a Final Fantasy enthusiast.

Octopath Series Now on All Consoles

Taylor Bauer — Fri, 07 Jun 2024 17:00:15 +0000

Square Enix recently noted that it publishes and develops way more games than is sustainable in 2024. As the company views its future projects and manages its investments more carefully, it’s hard to believe that we’ll see sequels and follow-up titles to some of Square’s recent series. One franchise I anticipate to continue through this new era of the popular games company, however…

Fortunately, I’ll still have some time to jump in before the latest expansion launches this July. Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail will be the fifth expansion for the acclaimed game and is available for pre…
