Dissidia Final Fantasy, released way back in genuinely-almost-ten-years-ago 2008, was a tough sell for most people. Pitting an entire roster of Final Fantasy characters against each other sure sounds like a good idea on paper, but integrating RPG elements into what clearly aspired to be a brawler was no easy task.

It’s no secret that the game industry likes its lies. Chances are most of you don’t see them as lies; I didn’t always see them that way. I am speaking, of course, about game adverts. Adverts can be pretty easily put on a scale of how representative they are of the gameplay. The sad part […]

Creative people can find inspiration in anything whether it is a myth, legend, historical fact or cultural influence.

I’ll be the first to admit I was a bit skeptical of Final Fantasy XV, Square Enix’s latest entry into the Final Fantasy series.

Final Fantasy XV may be the talk of Tokyo Game Show right now, but believe it or not, it’s not the only FF game in town. World of Final Fantasy seems to have flown under a few radars and honestly it’s not difficult to see why. Announced at Sony’s E3 event in the summer, seconds […]
