I don’t think there’s ever been a game that has both offended and amazed me quite like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. My main issue with the Final Fantasy VIIPS4/PS5 sequel trilogy isn’t necessarily the fact that it’s a sequel set in an alternate timeline—parallel to the original game’s narrative—but rather the way it’s being marketed…
Despite Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth being the highest rated (92 rating) Final Fantasy game on Metracritic since 2006’s Final Fantasy XII (92 rating). 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…
These days, I find that true open world western RPGs are a better fit for me than non Soulsborne/Zelda Japanese RPGs. Playing Maneater and its cheap Expansion to the very end within a week is confirmation of the growing chasm between myself and modern JRPGs. I shouldn’t have enjoyed Maneater as much as I did, but…
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…
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…
Identity, who you are, is essential to success in life, sports, and yes, video games. Final Fantasy hasn’t settled in an identity of its own as a franchise since series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi was forced to walk away from Square Enix two decades ago. The first nine Final Fantasy games followed a similar template, despite…
So, the yearly Game Awards took place last night, and in a year where Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom scored a 96 Metacritic rating, it seemed like Nintendo, and the Zelda Series had locked another global GotY win. This would have been the third time the series would have won it…
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…
On November 7th, Nintendo announced that a Live-Action The Legend of Zelda movie was on development alongside Sony pictures. Of course, given that Nintendo’s Mario made over 1 billion dollars at the box office earlier this year, The Legend of Zelda, which always had more potential for telling a gripping a story, was bound to…
