According to the Video Game Chronicle, Square Enix’s stock has dropped 30% from its peak value this year. The slump took place in the months following Final Fantasy XVI’s release, and it closed at its lowest value (since May 2022) on Wednesday. Square Enix’s downfall since its the release of its biggest AAA title of…
Regrettably, I might have underestimated Baldur’s Gate 3’s potential as a GotY contender when I proclaimed a few weeks ago that only Starfield remained – as a yet to be released title – posing a serious challenge to Nintendo’s Masterpiece (The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom). Baldur’s Gate has arrived on PC, and…
Producer Naoki Yoshida, has read your (or at least from some fans) responses regarding his latest game, Final Fantasy XVI. Needless to say, he is not pleased. According to tweets from Audrey (who translated Yoshida’s comments from a mini documentary), Yoshida is frustrated by the ‘hate’ that he has received from a segment of the…
Yoshida, and Creative Business Unit III, crafted an experience in Final Fantasy XVI, that in my opinion, delivers a storyline, and audio/visual presentation on par with some of Sakaguchi’s best work.

Given that it has been over two decades since the last great Final Fantasy (2001’s FFX), saying that FFXVI is the greatest Final Fantasy in two decades, is not necessarily a grand statement. However, after playing Final Fantasy XVI’s demo, which chronicles the early stages of the game, I have no choice but to feel…
Final Fantasy XVI (its first four hours) have been sent to big website writers, and the preview notes are in. As we have discussed before Final Fantasy XVI will feature a much darker, more mature story, coupled with fast paced action combat. The previews have been largely positive, and most writers have loved the new…
Main (Nintendo EAD developed) Zelda games are never just good, they are either very good, or great, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (so far) has proven to be the rule, rather than the exception. The game holds a 96% Metacritic rating as its average score from 87 reviews. That makes it…
On May 12th, one of the most anticipated video games of all time (when has a new The Legend of Zelda game not been a highly anticipated title?) arrives in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. With over 30 million units sold, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, is not only…
