Video game reviews, fanfiction, gaming news, and more! Since 2003. We especially love JRPGs, RPGs and the best of the rest.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age was a wonderful game. For me, it was my very first experience with the Dragon Quest franchise, and I honestly fell in love. I instantly felt like I missed out on years of wonderful JRPGs. I honestly don’t know what took me so long to give this […]
Last month, on December 12th to be exact, marked the 15th anniversary of Working Designs’ defunction. For those of you unfamiliar with the company, Working Designs was an American publisher that brought over Japanese games to the States. Most of these Japanese games were role-playing games that otherwise would have never made it to our […]
Nintendo might be up to something. 2020 was a big year for Nintendo and it seems like it’s all leading up to something big. The Switch also just got its biggest Online update yet and with little to show for it so far. So many things are coming (or, ending) for the Switch in March […]
I have enjoyed each and every Final Fantasy title that I have played, though there are still a few entries I haven’t experienced yet. However, of those I have played, Final Fantasy X is still my all time favorite. Perhaps it is because it is the first Final Fantasy game I experienced, and inspired me […]
I have been a fan of the Star Ocean series since Star Ocean (2): The Second Story on the PlayStation 1. Since then, I have played a few more entries, as the series has lost some of its appeal lately (at least to me). I have Star Ocean: The Last Hope to blame for my […]
Hironobu Sakaguchi, and Nobuo Uematsu are names that need no introduction for long time Final Fantasy fans. After leaving SquareEnix in 2004, Sakaguchi founded his own studio Mistwalker, and big console games like Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, and The Last Story quickly followed. Still, no Mistwalker game would find the success that Sakaguchi’s previous creation […]
What Final Fantasy VII Remake is Not Ironically, given the “Remake” moniker in its title, Final Fantasy VII Remake is not a remake. In the game industry it is understood that a “remake” is the delivery of what is basically the same title that we received years, and some times decades before with a new […]
Monster Hunter is finally returning to a mobile platform in Monster Hunter Rise. The demo for the upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive is out as of January 7th. The full game will be released on March 26th, but it’s out for preorder right now. The demo itself is actually only available for a limited time. It’s […]
Kingdom Hearts was one of the first RPGs I ever played on my PlayStation 2. I remember thinking it was revolutionary. I was so excited to see a game that lets you visit Disney worlds and interact with those characters. To this day I have replayed it and the other games in the franchise multiple […]
In my lifetime, there have only been two game releases that had me more hyped up about them than I was back in 1999 for Final Fantasy VIII. Those games were Super Mario 64, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. That I expected Final Fantasy VIII to stand proudly with those two masterpieces […]
