Final Fantasy XVI producer, Naoki Yoshida, is not shy about making big waves on the news. After going on a strange rant about how the term “JRPG” was discriminatory; a rant that stirred controversial takes amongst the JRPG fanzine. Yoshida takes controversy to a new level, yet again, by suggesting that Final Fantasy XVI took…
It’s no controversy to suggest that for over a decade, Sonic the Hedgehog has experienced a major slump in the standard of games produced. Sure, Sonic Colors and Generations garnered praise from the majority and games such as Sonic Riders and Sonic Unleashed had its fair share of admirers, but not to the level of…
And so, the eternal “is it a JRPG or just an RPG” discussion might be coming to a sudden end, as Final Fantasy XVI Producer, Naoki Yoshida, doesn’t want to box its upcoming game in the popular JRPG (there I said it!) franchise within the “JRPG” stereotypes. Yoshida, in a recent interview with Skill-Up, as…
The Legend of Dragoon’s fanzine is quite loud, and these fans have made their presence well known within our JRPG Group on Facebook, and within our main site. Most of these fans have waited for a remake (or even a sequel) of the game for the last 23 years, or so. This week’s release of…

Out of the three headlines that we will discuss here, only one is positive, and that’s Sonic Frontiers’ commercial success despite the game’s ho-hum critical…
The married and parenting life has many positives, but hours on end of gaming time is not among these positive perks. There comes a time in life when one comes to the sad (tragic really) realization that there are some beloved games that one will never be able to play again to their completion. It…
About 3 weeks ago, Golden Eye returned on modern consoles (namely Xbox One/ Series X/S and Nintendo Switch) courtesy of Rare and Microsoft. The title is a remaster in the purest meaning of the ‘remastered’ word. Golden Eye remains the same game that graced the Nintendo 64, but with enhancements such as a 16:9 widescreen…
Final Fantasy VII Remake Producer, Yoshinori Kitase, may have hinted at the possibility of an upcoming Final Fantasy IX ‘remake’ announcement in a New Year’s message that he posted on the Square Enix’s Official page a few weeks ago. Kitase, did not name the game itself, or even the ‘remake’ moniker, but he did talk…
So, at this point, it is well known in the gaming world (it has been nearly 26 years), that Aeris (now known as Aerith) died (was murdered really) in Final Fantasy VII. Gamers born after the fact, or near it, will not quite appreciate the shock and awe factor, of watching a heroine, or better…
