Elderand is being billed as a “story driven action-RPG with skill-based combat” that is sure to please “Soulsborne” fans everywhere. The Never Ending Realm caught up…
For months, I have dreaded the arrival of this day. The day where I would have to write about Final Fantasy XIII on our weekly Throwback Bit Thursday series. My dread on writing about Final Fantasy XIII doesn’t stem from my fading memories of the game as only a little more than a decade has…
Not much is known about Dragon Quest XII: The Flames of Fate. We only know that game is in development, and it will reportedly take a more ‘mature’ approach to its storytelling than previous entries. The former statements are the extent of what is known about the game so far. However, in an interview with…
Japanese Role-Playing Games dominated sales, and critical charts during the 90s, and early part of the 2000s.

Consequently, Skyward Sword gathered dust for months before I managed to finish it. Out Dated Visuals Skyrim looked amazing on the Xbox 360. Conversely, Skyward Sword…
Announced in June, it was revealed that Final Fantasy IX was getting a revival but in a different medium. This time, the beloved game will be getting an animated TV show geared towards children between the ages of eight and thirteen. Cyber Group Studios has worked out a deal with Square Enix to handle the…
Last week we covered the top five JRPGs for the Game Boy Advance according to Metacritic. This week we wanted to expand upon that list with the bottom 5 of the top 10 JRPGs for the Game Boy Advance. Keep in mind that there are two more Final Fantasy ports on this list. While they…
Not that long ago, we reported that J-RPG Developer/Publisher Level-5 was leaving the U.S. to focus on the Japanese market. We figured that such move would signify the end for its Ni no Kuni franchise on the West. Level-5 moved the franchise to the fertile world of mobile gaming, and it seems that the move…
