During today’s State of Play presentation, Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy VII Revelation will be released physically and digitally for PC and consoles in early April 2027. Final Fantasy VII Revelation is the final game in the series that began with Final Fantasy VII Remake/Intergrade and continued with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Square Enix also revealed two new videos:…
It’s incredible to think that Bravely Default: Flying Fairy is 13 years old at this point. It feels like it was just yesterday that it was turning heads as a new spin on the JRPG genre and a brilliant homage to Final Fantasy in particular (Flying Fairy as the subtitle…

Read MoreAs far as multiplayer with a bunch of randoms goes, social deduction games are probably my favourite. The nature of these things encourages players to play by the rules and behave (at least to an extent), so you tend to run into fewer experience-breaking arseholes. Or at least, that’s been…
Read MoreLate last year, Square Enix released Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. Remakes are normal, but remaking a game without remaking its prequels? That’s strange. Narratively, though, it makes sense: Dragon Quest III is a prequel to Dragon Quest I and II. Today, Square Enix announced that Dragon Quest I &…
Read MoreWe, long-suffering SaGa fans, have been utterly inundated with the franchise over the past 12 months or so. First, there was SaGa: Emerald Beyond. Then there was the remake of Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven (and arguably the finest SaGa game of all). And now we have the…
Read MoreFantasian spent so long as an Apple Arcade exclusive that I was worried that Apple had somehow wound up actually owning the game, rather than just licensing it, and it would never make its way off that platform. Not that Apple Arcade is bad, but this kind of deep, rich…
Read MoreIt’s easy to wonder why Square Enix would go to such great effort to remake one of the oldest Dragon Quest titles. After all, the HD-2D engine they’ve applied to Dragon Quest III would have made the SNES trilogy positively sparkle, and those titles are far more renowned for their…

Read MoreThere has already been a remake of Romancing SaGa 2. We have a review of it on DigitallyDownloaded.net and everything. But that was a relatively simple effort, in that the developers modernised the sprites and art so the SNES original was then in “HD,” and otherwise left it at that.…
Read MoreFrom the creator of Final Fantasy, Fantasian launched via Apple Arcade in two parts during 2021. Even then, I hoped the RPG would be released for PC and consoles. Apple Arcade has a limited pool of potential subscribers and Fantasian was too impressive to stay exclusive to that small percentage…
