  • The Silent Protagonist – Living in Eorzea

    Ben is gallivanting in Final Fantasy XIV… Care to know what he thinks?

  • Lightning Returns Collector’s Edition Revealed

    The latest entry in the Final Fantasy XIII universe – titled Lightning Returns – is inching ever closer to its western release, ans as is generally the case when release dates start creeping up a special edition has been revealed. Unfortunately, only the US has had this edition confirmed, and it’s only available from the…

  • Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Features Japanese Voice-Over DLC

    While the localisations of the Final Fantasy XIII series have always featured quality English audio performances – with a cast including heavy-hitters such as Ali “Liara T’Soni” Hillis and Troy “Kanji Tatsumi” Baker – an alternate Japanese track is always welcome for understanding the tone and (arguably) the meaning of the original source material. As an…

  • Final Fantasy VI Due on iOS and Android This Winter

    The announcement was made following a presentation centred around the smartphone release of Final Fantasy V. Speaking to gaming blog Kotaku, Square director and producer Takashi Tokita confirmed that Final Fantasy VI won’t be a direct port of the seminal SNES JRPG: “It is basically like a remake of the original VI. But there have been some…

  • Agito Title Recycled for Free to Play Final Fantasy

    Way back when the Fabula Nova Crystallis was a thing, Final Fantasy XIII had three separate standalone entries. Final Fantasy XIII itself was released as Final Fantasy XIII, that piece of history is obvious. Final Fantasy Versus XIII was teased, disappeared, teased again, disappeared again, then was rumoured to become FF XV, and then was…

  • Evoland

    What was birthed as a 48-hour Ludum Dare concept has evolved into a full game, available now through Steam Greenlight and GOG.com. As a fellow indie-dev myself (admittedly, a far lazier one), seeing this process come to fruition is particularly inspiring. Evoland is not only a journey into the past and present of the role-playing…

  • Maybe I’m a Lion

    As I type this I’m rocking out to Nobuo Uematsu’s “Man with the Machine Gun”, performed by himself and the rest of the Black Mages. Let’s hope no one is watching cause I will look rather silly. Music makes us feel so much emotion, be it from the terrifying instrumental piece from Jaws to the…

  • Love Ain’t Here Anymore

    Things change. Sometimes we accept them. Other times we don’t. Like bus fare price increases, your favourite cereal not in the BOGOF offer any more (that annoys me!), TV presenters being replaced, bands changing their image, a new Doctor Who… change occurs all the time. It even happens in video games. And like all other…

  • Doesn’t Y Go Back Anymore? I Mean Triangle

    My Xbox 360 isn’t happy. It has had to budge up. It’s been lording it over the puny Wii for ages, sat there on the top TV stand shelf, surrounded by glorious space. The Wii has been looking up, shaking its tiny glossy white fist at the 360, relegated as it is to the bottom…

  • Choices?

    I don’t know what to get next for my DS. I’ve finished all of the Phoenix Wright games and the third one isn’t yet out. I’ve got Cooking Mama 2, but that’s only really good as a temporary distraction. Professor Layton had me enthralled, but I finished that in a week’s worth of commuting time…
