Square Enix announced this week (after terrible market value news last week) that it has shipped 7 million Final Fantasy VII: Remake/Intergrade copies for PS4, PS5 and PC. The number also includes digital sales. This are hopeful news for a company that lost close to $2 billion in market value over the last few months….
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…
So, it hasn’t been uncommon on this section of “expensive” retro games, to see Working Designs published titles making the rounds. These games were fairly pricey during their heyday (given their premium packaging), and today – in part due to said packaging – these games can run for a few hundred dollars. Lunar: Silver Star…
On 12th May 2023, almost 4 years of painstaking waiting came to its anticipated conclusion. The release of the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was finally upon us. I made sure to wake up extra early that day, and before work, drove all the way to my nearest Game shop, waiting in line…

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. Yes, in my opinion, Final Fantasy XVI is a worthy successor to Final Fantasy X (XI, and XIV were online entries, FFXII was great,…
So, it is hard to believe, but it has been a quarter century since 1998. I have very fond memories, perhaps my fondest memories, as a gamer are from that year. While most of my time was spent playing (oh blessed days!) WCW/NWO Revenge, Ocarina of Time, and Golden Eye. I did play some JRPGs…
So, give it or take, Final Fantasy XVI has sold about 3 million copies, as we quickly approach its first month of sales. Square Enix hasn’t given further updates from that early number, which likely means that the majority of people who wanted Final Fantasy XVI, already bought it, and any other sales beyond that…
