Sony’s announcement of its mid generation updated hardware, the PlayStation 5 Pro, caused quite a stir on social media last night. The console’s astronomically high price brought back memories of the 3DO era (though adjusted to inflation the 3DO was much more expensive). So, why is the price so high ? Well, Sony continues to…
About 5 days ago, The Gamer published an article titled “Final Fantasy Creator Says Games Need To Be Political“. Obviously, this generated a large controversy in social media forums. I assume The Gamer‘s article was shooting for massive clicks and controversy, as going deeper into the actual Inverse interview with Final Fantasy Creator Hironobu Sakaguchi,…
Hello everyone! I’m Nick, a new writer here at Neverending Realm. I’ll keep the intro brief–I’m an avid RPG enthusiast and indie game creator. I recently replayed my way through Final Fantasies 1 through 6 on the Pixel Remaster remakes and wanted to share my thoughts and journey! So without further ado… Let’s begin…

Back in April, industry analyst, Daniel Ahmad, said that research in sales tracking data revealed that the latest Final Fantasy game based on the franchise’s most popular game (Final Fantasy VII) is…
With a fantastic 92 Metacritic rating, it looks like Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, the 2nd installment of the Final Fantasy VII “Remake” sequel project, has broken the Final Fantasy curse in terms of critical reception for the series. A 92 rating (and not a big Sony, or Nintendo title on the 2024 horizon) also means…
A few days ago, news broke out that Yoshinori Kitasse (Final Fantasy VI-VII Director) said on a French YouTube interview that a Remake of the venerable Final Fantasy VI would take 20 years to make. Yes, you didn’t read that wrong, he said 20 years! Kitase based his speculative time frame – for a FFVI…
If you have read my work on this page for the past 20 years, you will know that I love the Nintendo 64. “Love” is actually a bit of an understatement. The Nintendo 64 is the home console that I can’t live without…even today in 2024. Given the statement above, you can imagine my suffering…
Given Square Enix’s recent financial woes, Final Fantasy XVI’s PS5 exclusivity was questioned by some. The game’s confinement to a single platform was bound to hurt its sales. In our review of the game we remarked that some of the texture work, and effects present in the game were of last generation quality. The confirmed…
