On March 30th, Square Enix held an event meant to “uncover” a number of previously unknown facts about Final Fantasy XV, including an actual release date (which GameSpot inadvertently pulled the trigger on early).

E3 2015 Trailer: NieR New Project (Sony PlayStation 4)
After Cavia went defunct, I don’t think anyone thought that we’d ever see another NieR title. Yet, here we are. Not only does it exist, but it’s being developed by PlatinumGames (of Bayonetta fame). One of the biggest downsides to the original game was the combat, so if they’re able to clean that up, this…

E3 2015 Trailer: World of Final Fantasy (Sony PlayStation 4 & Vita)
I’m not sure what to say about World of Final Fantasy other than it seems to fill the niche of weird spinoff games for the franchise that has been absent for quite some time. It has a chibi art style and allows you to engage with series monsters and characters, including being able to ride…

E3 2015 Trailer: Final Fantasy VII Remake (Sony PlayStation 4)
After years and YEARS of fans pleading (and years after showing that ridiculous PS3 tech demo), Square Enix have finally caved in and announced a remake to the beloved Final Fantasy VII.

10 Thoughts On… Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae (Sony PlayStation 4)
Well, here we are. After nine years… yes, NINE YEARS after Final Fantasy Versus XIII was first announced at E3 2006 we have a playable version of the game. Now under the moniker of Final Fantasy XV, the game couldn’t be more far removed from the rest of the main entries if it tried. Though…

Unboxing of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Collector’s Edition
Well folks, it’s about that time. Time for what, you ask? If you said “time to play that Final Fantasy XV demo!” you’d be mostly correct, except that it’s still downloading. So instead, I’m going to take a bunch of pictures of the stuff that came with that download pamphlet. And what came bundled with…

Unboxing of Kingdom Hearts HD II.5 ReMIX Collector’s Edition
While both Kingdom Hearts HD games have gotten their own limited editions in the form of artbook/case hybrids, it isn’t until Kingdom Hearts HD II.5 ReMIX that Square Enix made a collector’s edition proper. It contains a steelbook case, an artbook (separate from the case), a Heartless plushie, and a pin. Oh, and let’s not…

Unboxing of Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call Collector’s Edition
You may have noticed the sudden influx on Square Enix Store exclusive collector’s editions (see: Lightning Returns and Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD). It’s both a blessing and a curse, as it does mean that if you are a fan of their franchises, there are more neat new sets for you to indulge in. On the…
