I just finished playing Ni No Kuni: The Wrath of the White Witch and absolutely adored it. As an RPG fan, I was already attracted to this game, but the added creature capture feature just makes it that much more appealing to me. Ni No Kuni’s battle system is certainly interesting. It is essentially real-time,…

The 16-bit era featured a great line up of J-RPGs. The genre remained confined to a niche group of fans during this period, but game franchises like Final Fantasy were still able to leave a mark.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was released on July 11th, 2001 and directed by Final Fantasy legend Hironobu Sakaguchi. The movie would ultimately lead to Sakaguchi’s departure from Square and the eventual end of Square itself. I remember seeing Spirits Within in the theater in 2001. I was about 13 and being a huge fan of…
Thomas Mahler, Creative Director at Moon Game Studios and the designer and director of Ori series recently apologized for criticizing the press attention that No Man’s Sky and Cyperpunk 2077 received prior to launch in comparison to his own Ori and the Blind Forest game. Mahler also took Peter Molyneux of Fable series fame to…
When it comes to JRPGs, fans in the west sometimes get left out. A lot of JRPGs release exclusively in Japan, and hopefully make their way to us in the future. If we do, in fact, get a hold of them, they can still fly under the radar because of the more popular choices like…
