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…
It is hard to believe, but The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time turns 25 years old today. That’s 9131 days for those of us who like to keep count of such things. That’s a long time, if you were 13-14 years old like me, you are now approaching 40, might have kids (some that…
This is a Pseudo News/Opinionated article. The news part is that FFVII: Rebirth’s director confirmed what we all have speculated since the end of Final Fantasy VII: Remake…Which is that Final Fantasy VII: “Remake” was more of a sequel with a “remade” timeline, as he let it slip that Rebirth’s take on the events that…
The following excerpt is from my upcoming review of the Final Fantasy XVI that will – apart from offering my perspective on the game – address certain complaints from a sizable section of our JRPG Group community who has trashed the game, needlessly, over aspects of Final Fantasy XVI that have never been much of…

The game holds a 96% Metacritic rating as its average score from 87 reviews. That makes it…
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…
Last week, I wrote a column about the JRPGs that I would like to replay some day, but most likely would never get around to replaying for a variety of reasons. Today, I will list a completely opposite collection of games. These are RPGs (not all are JRPGs) that I must replay every 1-2 years….
2018’s God of War is one of the best game of all time, and certainly, one of the best games on the PlayStation 4’s stellar catalogue of exclusive games. Its sequel does nothing to take the series somewhere new. It is a continuation of the first game’s storyline, and its gameplay mechanics. Raganarok is slightly…
