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…

Fallout: New Vegas, Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Game
I recently started a new save file on Fallout: New Vegas, and I’m enjoying it more now than ever. New Vegas was released on October 19th, 2010 as a follow-up to 2008’s Fallout 3. It was developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks. It was met with high reviews at the time of…
Throwback Bit Thursday: Final Fantasy VIII
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…

FFVIIR Producer: “The New World of FFVII Has Only Just Begun!”
Fans of Final Fantasy VII Remake are eagerly awaiting for “part 2” of the episodic series. Yoshiniro Kitase’s (Final Fantasy VII’s Director, and FFVIIR’s producer) recent comments hint at the direction that the series will take, but not at a release date.

World of Final Fantasy: A Cute Nod to Final Fantasy
World of Final Fantasy: MAXIMA grabbed my attention soon after I purchased my Nintendo Switch. I have been a fan of JRPGs for as long as I can remember, especially the Final Fantasy series. This game is certainly more enjoyable if you have some Final Fantasy knowledge. Without it, you wouldn’t get as much joy…

Until now, FromSoftware, the developer of the beloved Dark Souls trilogy, Bloodborne, and Sekiro, has been all-but silent about its highly anticipated upcoming release, Elden Ring. It is the newest FromSoftware intellectual property and is being co-written by George R.R. Martin of Game of Thrones fame. Before 2020 It has been about a year and…
Throwback Bit Thursday: Grandia
1997’s Grandia, touted to be the Sega Saturn’s answer to Final Fantasy VII, is a legitimately great Japanese Role-Playing game in its own right. The Saturn version holds an 87% GameRankings meta score. As a spiritual sequel to GameArts’ own Lunar Series, Grandia had some big boots to fill. Not Quite the “Final Fantasy VII…
Monster Hunter Rise Info Roundup
Monster Hunter is a franchise that has been historically loyal to Nintendo consoles. With its biggest release yet in 2019, Monster Hunter World, Capcom was forced to skip the Nintendo Switch. The Switch’s hardware simply is not compatible with the game’s huge open-world, next-gen graphics, and MMO connectivity. Still, for Switch fans, there is no…
It’s ‘OK’ when the Gods do it: A FFXV Analysis
“Final Fantasy XV -The Dawn of the Future-“ is more than just the definitive, true conclusion of the FFXV Saga (at least until a PS5 port of the game comes out with all the cancelled DLC restored) we all deserve, and hopefully the end of what would come to be known as the “Bahamut Saga”,…
