    Best DQ Monster Names

    Nope, I am not talking about Dairy Queen, I am in fact talking about the punny and groan worthy names for the Dragon Quest series. If you're like me, stupid puns probably make you giggle. If you're like some other editor here who shall not be named, you probably hate them. Either way, have an article to chuckle and/or rage at as you explore some of the best/worst monster puns Dragon Quest has to offer, and we'll even ruin them more for you by explaining the terrible jokes! ...

    Yojimbo is taken out swiftly and easily this time around! But that's not where this episode ends! Well, the excitement takes a bit of a hit, but what can you do - after last episode's stress we need a bit of a break!

    We hit up the beaches of Besaid for a bit, and then head to the quiet temple in Bevelle. The Gullwings totally don't get lost in either of these places, and we see some insight into the past of our most mysterious member.

    On January 15th 1800, Garnet celebrates her 16th birthday. That's not the only thing worth celebrating though! January 15th also marks the beginning of Final Fantasy IX and most likely the end as well, as we see Garnet celebrating her 17th birthday. ...

    On Sunday, January 10th, the world suffered a terrible loss. Choosing the words to describe how powerful David Bowie’s presence was in the artistic world, is difficult. At least to me. Which is why I’ll use these paintings to illustrate what I’m talking about. Because Bowie influenced more than music, and these pictures are one of the things that connect Bowie to Final Fantasy.

    [IMG]http://Yoshitaka-amano.kouryu.info/images/return_duke/visio00.jpg[/IMG]

    Yoshitaka Amano needs no introduction. A world-renowned artist with a distinct style, he is famous for combining elements of art nouveau and traditional Japanese woodblock prints. In our circle, he is known as the Final Fantasy artist. He has served as the lead character designer for Final Fantasies I through VI. Of note is the design of the Emperor from Final Fantasy II, who is explicitly modeled after Bowie’s portrayal of Gareth the Goblin King.

    Final Fantasy Tactics is an undisputed classic, if a bit obscure. Still, those who have played it are sure to remember Ramza Beoulve, the game’s protagonist, who has become the template for all Matsuno protagonists – strong, yet kind, and always trying to do what’s right, even if he has to suffer for it. While Ramza’s name and birthday can be changed at the start of the game, his default birthday is, apparently, January 12th! And that’s today!

    So happy birthday, Ramza! Here’s a couple pieces of trivia to commemorate this occasion.
    • Though Ramza’s appearance does not change base on class, it does change over the course of the story twice. This is the most out of any Final Fantasy, excluding other titles with job systems.
    • Despite him sporting three outfits, the added FMV cutscenes in The Wart of the Lions in chapter 4, where he should be wearing his final outfit, still present him as wearing the black armor

    Back in 2003, Square Enix rereleased the first entry in the Mana series. Originally released in 1991 as Seiken Densetsu in Japan, as it made its way to the West, it was published as Final Fantasy Adventure to boost sales. The 2003 remake, called Sword of Mana, made many alterations to the original. Not only was the art style completely revamped to look more similar to Legend of Mana, but the battle system was also very different, and many characters were given vastly different personalities and roles in the story. The biggest addition was probably the option to play as a female character, whose story was completely different than that of the male hero's. While not a bad game at all, the changes made did not sit well with a lot of fans, who were hoping for a more faithful remake of their beloved Gameboy game.

    Their prayers were heard when Square Enix recently announced that the game will be ...

Here's six awesome things about Kingdom Hearts BbS that made fans scream with glee once they finally got to play it.

    #6 Dearly Beloved


    Starting with something simple yet iconic for the series as a whole, the Birth by Sleep rendition of Dearly Beloved is not only the longest and most complex one yet, it is also considered by many to be the version that expresses the tone of the series the best. Speaking of music...

    #5. This boss theme

    Lara Croft returns in Rise of the Tomb Raider! With more structures that fall apart as soon as she arrives, more gruesome deaths, more gunshot wounds, more pissed off animals who want to tear her apart, and hand grenade after hand grenade. Made complete with a story so predictable even those of us who led most of our lives in bomb shelters can guess what's going to happen next! ...
