Are you still tracking the Final Fantasy computer game series? Square Enix seem to understand that they need to battle hard to keep fans engaged with the franchise. Final Fantasy XIII divided gamers and Final Fantasy XIV has been receiving intensive care. This week press got their hands on screen shots from A Realm Reborn […]
Chocobo cake with edible models
How’s that for a cake? It’s the work of Barbarann Garrard (aka Cake Rhapsody). It’s even worth noting that the picture was snapped on an HTC smartphone. This cake looks as good as you see – no camera and lights tricks here. Any Final Fantasy geeks know the answer to this question? Which Final Fantasy […]
Square Enix and Ouya partner for Final Fantasy
The news around the plucky Android based console start-up Ouya keeps on coming. First we had news of an OnLive partnership. Now there’s the discovery that Final Fantasy will be a launch title for the device. Final Fantasy III, that is. This will be the first time gamers outside of Japan have had the chance […]
A trailer for Square Enix’s secret RPG
Square Enix, the creators of Final Fantasy and (technically) Deus Ex: Human Revolution, announced they’re working on another RPG. This other RPG is still a secret insofar that they’ve not officially announced a name. I think. There is a website at cc2012.square-enix.co.jp. The sub-domain “CC” might make you think “Crystal Chronicles“. The trailer – yes, […]
Phantasy Star Online 2 opening movie
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 […]

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 […]
