Square Enix announced, via new trailer, that Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier arrives on November for iOS, and Android platforms with expected “In-App Purchases” (aren’t these purchases the sole reason for the existence of mobile games these days?). What is Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier? Square Enix’s attempt at a Fortnite clone? Basically,…
This week, I listed the top 5 JRPGs for the Xbox 360 according to critics. Fans were in disagreement over the list, pointing to Lost Odyssey’s omission (though I clearly felt it should have overtaken FFXIII), and other misses such as, the weirdly named, Infinite Undiscovery. Unfortunately, Infinite Undiscovery fell through the cracks. It was…
No one should question how great the Disney/Squaresoft Kingdom Hearts union has been, at least commercially. After 32+ million units sold (as of 2019), Kingdom Hearts, as a franchise, is one of the biggest names in the industry. I Wasn’t Big on the Union At First Truth be told, as a child, I wasn’t a…
While most of the focus of the recent PlayStation 5 game showcase has gone to titles like God of War: Ragnarok, and Spider Man 2.

Before we get into the meat of the argument, this entire analysis and its eventual outcome is solely based on the original game. Why the Original Game is the Only Piece of Final Fantasy VII Related Work that Will Be Taken Into Account Final Fantasy VII was a complete work, and it is the only…
It has been 30 years since Final Fantasy IV first graced Super Nintendo Systems across the world. Now, a new set of players (many who hadn’t been born at the time) will get a new opportunity to experience this 2-D JRPG classic on PC (Steam), Android and iOS devices on September 8, as part of the…
How often have we asked ourselves the following questions: Why are there so few Turn-Based console RPGs these days? Why did Final Fantasy ditched turn-based combat? Are we ever going to get back to the JRPG golden era (1990s)? Etc. Well, Square Enix is not letting us shape Final Fantasy, yet. But it seems that…
The Star Ocean series holds a special place in my heart. The second game in the series (The 2nd Story) remains one of my favorite J-RPGs of all time. The series is one of the longest running J-RPG franchises that continues to receive a console entry. However, in my personal opinion I feel that the…
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…
