Well, fellow Final Fantasy fans, here’s our chance. For years now we’ve been begging Square Enix for a new 2D, pixel-based Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy Resonance isn’t Final Fantasy XVII, but after the success of the Octopath Traveler series and Dragon Quest remakes, it’s pretty clearly an effort by the company to see just how much appetite there is for…
When you think about the most influential games of all time, your brain will reach for Goldeneye, Doom, Final Fantasy, Super Mario Bros., Smash Bros and Super International Cricket (no? Just me?). You’re probably not going to cite Torneko’s Mystery Dungeon, though. Probably because the game was never actually released…
During today’s State of Play presentation, Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy…

There 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.…

From 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…

I’m trying to keep my excitement about Life is Strange: Double Exposure in check fearing total disappointment. (More on that later.) The direct sequel to Life is Strange – remember, Life is Strange 2 is a completely different story – was announced at June’s Xbox Games Showcase. A reveal livestream…

It seems crazy to think that it has been over 15 years since the last mainline game in the Mana series. It has been kept alive through spin-offs, remakes, and a collection, but the time feels right for something brand new. Square Enix announced Visions of Mana in late 2023,…

Don’t Nod has been adamant that Max Caulfield’s story end when Life is Strange ends, but Max Caulfield is no longer in Don’t Nod’s hands. That was clear with the Life is Strange comic series, which was supposed to start as a four-part limited miniseries but soon ballooned to 23…
