As a celebration gift for being so dang cool, I received World of Final Fantasy, a fun-filled adventure about twins with special powers catching Pokemon Mirages in order to either a) save the world or b) do the opposite of that. I'm not too far in to the game just yet, but I figured I would share some spoiler-free first impressions with you fine folks in the hopes of lighting a fire under your consumer butts. ...

Recently we've been treated to an excellent piece penned by our dear Pumpkin, showing us how a skeptic of FFXV's undeniable greatness can still hope for some good things. Considering I'm pretty much the opposite of a skeptic in that regard - that is, I am a raving maniac ready to ingest every copy of FFXV - I was thinking that thinking of counterpoints to my own point of view which might actually be a healthy way to soothe my proverbial mammaries. Here's five areas in which FFXV might screw up! ...

Final Fantasy has some great tracks over the years, and while creep and horror are not exactly the first words that come to mind when thinking of Final Fantasy, let alone it's sweeping scores of passion and adventure, the series has had it's fair share of tracks meant to unsettle the player.

To make this more interesting, I plan on taking only one track per game. ...

Welcome one and all to the Final Fantasy character corner. What we will be doing here is taking characters from Final Fantasy and finding real world stuff inspired by them. So get out your wallet and your oven mitts and send both of them to me because I like those things!

I've recently been playing the Final Fantasy X HD Remaster on the PlayStation Vita. And by “playing” I mean I've been vaguely paying attention in between save points before I go and do something else. I was much younger when I first played X and it was my third FF game total, following two games that would become two of my three favourite games ever. So could it hold up against these other Final Fantasy games that made me fall so deeply in love with them? The answer is actually yes. While I didn't love it quite as much, it's still a game I got swept up in and thoroughly enjoyed. Since then I have replayed it many times leading up to this latest playthrough. This time though, it seems the honeymoon phase is over. I still love Final Fantasy X in a familiar sort of way and I can appreciate it's good qualities, but after so many years together, it seems the negatives that I previously ignored are making themselves more apparent. Especially since I've been seeing other games from all genres, and seeing what else the world of gaming has to offer. Here are the things Final Fantasy X does that I don't remember it doing while we were dating. ...

Welcome to another edition of Pumpkin Judges Your Outfit! Today we will be examining the recently released Bravely Second. Because if there's one thing the Bravely games do right, it's cute outfits on cute characters that have no feet. Warning: If you want to keep these jobs a ~surprise~ for when you play the game, this will obviously contain some spoilers. Also, there will be a lot of complaining about Tiz's new hair. A lot. ...

Controversy has erupted in the Final Fantasy Record Keeper community after statistical analysis by its players revealed that the chances of receiving rare items was reduced ahead of the hotly anticipated Final Fantasy Tactics event.

For those of you who don't know, Final Fantasy Record Keeper is a mobile title developed by Japanese mobile studio DeNA on behalf of Square-Enix. As with most DeNA releases, Record Keeper is free to play with premium elements. Unlike other previous mobile offerings in the Final Fantasy franchise such as All The Bravest, Record Keeper has been a smash hit and recently passed the 10 million downloads mark. ...

Note: While I am familiar with the basics of Rue's storyline, I have only played and completed Mint's storyline and so my review will focus mostly on my experiences with her.

Threads of Fate is an action RPG where you can choose between two protagonists and each of their stories. While the general story is the same, the details can be very different as each focuses more on their own goals and personality. Rue's storyline is more serious while Mint's is more lighthearted, although both get their heavy moments. While a lot of the game is different, there are some nearly identical scenes as well and the overarching plot progresses much the same way. ...

You know what RPG series is awesome? Final Fantasy. It's got Fantasy right in the title, and (almost) every entry gives us a new story to engage in, a new world to explore, and new characters to love. However, one thing I have sadly noticed, is that many times the cast of these games tend to center around one or two central characters: Everyone centering around Zidane, Squall, etc, while the rest of the cast, well... they may not always interact that much. Lulu and Auron don't talk that often, Freya and Garnet barely speak, Selphie and Quistis don't have much going on. But Final Fantasy V is different. ...

So you've slain the beast. Saved the kingdom. Restored balance to the world. If you're a member of a party, long-term future career prospects are not exactly at the forefront of your mind. ...
