Sega have released the opening movie to Phantasy Star Online 2. Phantasy Star is a Japanese computer RPG with a proud history and fan base to match. That doesn’t mean the success of the online version is a sure-in, though. Just ask Square Enix about their Final Fantasy experiences.
Pictures mark the Japanese release of Final Fantasy XIII-2
The very fact we have a Final Fantasy XIII-2 is surprising – some might say; confusing. However, Final Fantasy XIV was a bit of a problem for Square Enix in Japan. It’s important they get the franchise back on track. Final Fantasy XIII-2 is due out at the end of January 2012 in Europe. The […]
Square Enix working on huge new RPG
The web is aflame with rumours that Square Enix is working on a new RPG. Square Enix is known for titles like Deus Ex and Final Fantasy. It’s important to keep in mind these claims are reports based on rumours from a leak. We can trace the news back to Andriasang. The blog covers Japanese […]
Final Fantasy XIII-2’s Muramasa
A rather interesting looking weapon picture from the forthcoming Final Fantasy XIII-2 has surfaced. Yeah, sure, many weapons from Final Fantasy are a bit interesting in design but this “Muramasa” has a story behind it. If you pre-order your copy of Final Fantasy XIII-2 from Amazon.co.uk then you qualify for the Muramasa. It’s an exclusive. […]
Orchestra recording The Legend of Zelda 25th anniversary special
I think there’s quite a lot of gaming music that reached iconic status. Many people recognise – even if they can’t name the come – Mario’s soundtrack, Sonic, Final Fantasy, dozens of 8-bit wonders as well as some of the new generation. BioShock, for example, is a game synonymus with its musical choices. Zelda’s such […]
Does the Final Fantasy XIII-2 trailer do anything for you?
I’m sure there are many gamers really played that Square Enix are giving us a chance to return to Final Fantasy XIII and the game. There are some of us scratching our heads, though. Was the game really that good? Did one or two roleplayers give up, bored of farming the grasslands for XP, before […]
Heads up: Final Fantasy XIII-3 is probably on its way
What did you make of Final Fantasy XIII? Did it satisfy your Final Fantasy itch? I’m still looking for Square Enix to follow on Final Fantasy VII but I played Final Fantasy XIII for a bit. I’m still wrestling with the news that they’re making a sequel; early next year we should get Final Fantasy […]
Lego gunblade
Remember Cloud’s Squall’s famous gunblade from Final Fantasy VIII. Pretend for a minute that it would work – a gun that’s also a sword! Fantastic! What a clever idea. If you’re willing to pretend that the gunblade design would work then it’s not that much more of a stretch to imagine that, well, a home […]
Docu-trailer for Final Fantasy XIII-2
If you’re worried about spoilers to Final Fantasy XIII then this isn’t the post for you. Read something else. I was really excited about FFXIII before it came out… but eventually gave up, trapped in the farm and fight cycle of the grasslands. This is a sequel. It had (some) of the same characters. We […]
Final Fantasy XIII-2 confirmed
There will be a sequel to Final Fantasy XIII. This isn’t the surprise it could have been because the clever internet noticed Square Enix’s domain name registration company buyng a Final Fantasy XIII-2 domain. The official Final Fantasy XIII-2 site is a microsite on Square-Enix right now though. Oh. And it’s in Japanese. At the […]
