New Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call Trailer Showcases New Modes and Songs
The original Theatrhythm Final Fantasy game was a cute rhythm title that put the music of the main series into the spotlight and tasked you with tapping along on the touchscreen in order to defeat foes and level up. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call expands on this idea by including not just new modes, but…

Another new Square-Enix title, another new collector’s edition. Well, not “new” exactly, but new in the sense that this particular product was just released. ANYWAY, the fact that I ordered an item on the Square-Enix website and actually received it is cause for celebration, so please join me as I tear away the packaging on…

Unboxing of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Collector’s Edition
This has been quite a milestone moment for me. Not only is this the first thing I’ve successfully been able to order and subsequently receive from the Square Enix online store, but it’s also the first item I’ve obtained through the use of their distributor, Digital River. My previous attempts have all resulted in cancelled…

Unboxing of Bravely Default: Collector’s Edition
The last time I did one of these was for the original release of Final Fantasy XIV, and while they did eventually fix that game, the quality of the title at the time was incredibly weak, which made the fact that I had spent all of that money on that collector’s edition incredibly disheartening. Well,…

Drakengard 3 Collector’s Edition and Release Date Revealed
While a localization was announced for Drakengard 3 some time ago, it wasn’t yet clear just when the game would be releasing. Well, not only did Square Enix finally set a firm release date, but it would seem they have put together a fancy collector’s edition to boot. The collector’s edition will cost $79.99 and…

Bravely Default Story Trailer Unveiled
Bravely Default launches in just over two weeks, which means it’s time for another trailer to get you acclimated with the basic plot. The video is rather short, so it doesn’t go into much detail, though it does at least introduce the four main characters and give you the most barebones version of what the…

10 Thoughts On… Bravely Default Demo (Nintendo 3DS)
When Bravely Default was first announced for Japan, the biggest question on everyone’s mind was “what is with that title?” Following that, the second biggest question was “when is this getting localized?” After all, a game with such a heavy Final Fantasy influence (particularly The 4 Heroes of Light) would surely get a western release.…

E3 2013 Screenshots: Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX (Sony PlayStation 3)
Square-Enix showed off the HD update to the original Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories in playable capacity at this year’s E3. I’ve gotta say, I’m more excited for it than some of the spinoffs that have come out lately. Everything plays as it did in its original incarnation, but the visuals have…

E3 2013 Screenshots: Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster (Sony PlayStation 3/Vita)
The HD update to Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 were both playable at E3 this year, and the end result is a much cleaner looking game. If you choose to pick up the PS3 version, you’ll get both games together in one package, whereas the Vita versions will be sold as two separate…

E3 2013 Impressions: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn (PlayStation 3/PC)
I won’t mince words, I was not a big fan of Final Fantasy XIV‘s initial release. Setting up subscriptions was a pain, there was a needless reliance on crafting and its subsequent minigame, and above all else, it just wasn’t fun. So naturally, the cynic in me is eager to pass off A Realm Reborn…

E3 2013 Impressions: Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (Sony PlayStation 3/Microsoft Xbox 360)
When Final Fantasy XIII-2 released last year, it managed to address nearly every flaw the plagued the original. The maps were opened up, the cast was scaled down and better written, and time travel elements were implemented. Honestly, the only thing missing was a decent conclusion. That’s where Lightning Returns comes in. There isn’t much…

Heroes of Ruin Genre: Action RPG Developer: n-space Publisher: Square Enix Release Date: 07/17/12 You’d think that the Diablo style of hack-and-slash would do fairly well in the console market, but such is often not the case. You’ll see the odd success story, like Champions of Norath, pop up now and again, but most games…
