Bravely Default’s success could help return Final Fantasy to it’s roots
With over 1 million copies sold worldwide, over 600,000 outside of Japan, Bravely Default’s success may have slapped some sense into the people at Square Enix. The company well known for some of the greatest RPGs of the SNES era, had seemingly lost the plot as of late, particularly with the extremely popular Final Fantasy series. Having veered away from the traditional Japanese RPG model, re...

New Square Enix Title for Wii U
Square Enix plans on attending PAX East with the intent to showcase various videogame titles. It has recently been revealed that this will include a previously unannounced title for Wii U. The company is being quiet on any official details at this point, so the rumor mill is working overtime to speculate as to what this game could be. The most likely candidate appears to be a port of Deus Ex: H...
IGN Reports a Triple-A Square Enix Port Coming to Wii U
IGN has reported that the studio that is porting Mass Effect 3 to the Wii U, will also be porting a “Triple-A” Square Enix title to the Wii U. Although there is no official word on the title, I am hoping for either a Final Fantasy X HD, Final Fantasy 7 remake (just wishful thinking there, i would put money on this NOT happening), Kingdom Hearts 1.5, or maybe TWEWY, or TWEWY 2. Watch t...
Bravery Default: Flying Fairy Collector’s Pack Announced
Whenever I see a new installment in the Final Fantasy Universe, the hair on the back of my neck stands up. I am a huge RPG/JRPG fan, but over the years I have become very picky when choosing an RPG to play. I always choose the Final Fantasy games because they never let me down. I guess my age has caused me to become a bit picky when it comes to new games. Maybe I have matured (yeah right), or m...

Heroes of Ruin can’t come to 3DS soon enough
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIK6mN6Sp0U[/youtube] I left E3 2011 with Heroes of Ruin as one of my most highly anticipated games of the show, and after watching the latest gameplay and story trailer for the game, my mouth is salivating just thinking about playing the game later this year.

Kingdom Hearts 3D may be coming sooner than we originally thought
Being a North American gamer was once such a hassle. Before western game developers became so prominent in the console space, most of the games available on home consoles came from Japanese development houses which ment long delays between a Japanese and a Western game release. Just look at Final Fantasy VII. The Japan to North American release window was a good 8 months, and that’s for one of the...
