Squeenix: “No FF VII Remake, Everyone Go Away.”

Square-Enix has been torturing us slowly in celebration of Final Fantasy VII’s decade of existence. First there were gems like Dirge of Cerberus and Advent Children, though we did receive a dose of painkillers through the Zack-oriented Last Order and Crisis Core.
Now it’s over. Time to change the linen and scrub the blood off the […]

I Want Crisis Core

So my next game is going to be Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII for a number of reasons. First of all, the game’s supposed to be somewhere between halfway decent and awesome. I’ll settle if it’s somewhere in the middle of the middle: “Pretty Rad” sounds okay. I’m easy-going.
I’m really nostalgic for Final Fantasy VII. […]

Gabby Quest

I think DragonQuest VIII’s most delightful attribute (aside from everything) is the brilliant localisation the game’s recieved. It takes a special job to make me associate Dragon Quest, a series that’s as Japanese as a series can get, with British characters and dialect.
Here’s where the moaning comes in. “Oh no! The purity of the original […]

Final Fantasy VII Remake!!

…By fans!
For the NES!
I’m sorry, that was very cruel of me. I know that Final Fantasy VII is the world’s favourite RPG (to poop on). I still retain a lot of affection for it; it was the title that changed video games forever, which is kind of funny to hear if you were into the […]

I’m playing DragonQuest VIII, and it’s a thrill.

If there’s one variable I can blame for turning me into a hack writer, it would be the Dragon Warrior / DragonQuest series. Granted, if you come from a journalist family like mine, the writing gene is always inside you, albeit sometimes inactive…like herpes. But just as that STD flares up and says “Hi” every […]

Square: In ur con, busting ur swords

Do you love cosplay? Do you love cosplaying Final Fantasy characters?
What’s your major malfunction?
Seriously though, this might be relevant to you: Square-Enix is coming down on retailers that are selling illegal copies of their wares. The bust includes all pirated merchandise, but puts special emphasis on replicas of Buster Swords, Gunblades and other half-ridiculous Final […]

Famitsu has more on lucky Final Fantasy XIII

I’m one of those unfun Final Fantasy curmudgeons. For me, Final Fantasy’s final fun outing was VII, though I am actually looking quite forward to Crisis Core on the PSP.
Still, nothing froths the water like Final Fantasy news (you young punks, I remember playing Final Fantasy IV and everyone was all NEEEEEERD!–Get the hell […]

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

Square-Enix has been milking the hell out of the Final Fantasy VII franchise (yet denying us a PS3 remake) in honour of FF VII’s tenth birthday. Most of the subsequent spin-off games and movies are kay-rap; even Final Fantasy: Advent Children was more befuddling than cool.
Still, I kind of like the ethereal presence Zack maintains […]
