Final Fantasy XVI is on my radar in a big way. I think people are sleeping on it for now, as a lot of non-Final Fantasy XIV players aren't aware of the raw talent that Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida possesses. And that's fine! XVI will p...

For most MMOs, a "middle patch" typically isn't that huge. But Final Fantasy XIV is not most MMOs. Although Patch 5.3 gave us the goods with a gigantic storyline injection and several major encounters (including more NieR raid!), ...

Unlike every other big game released in 2020, Final Fantasy VII Remake hasn't gotten many patches. Actually, Square Enix only updated the game once – and it happened today, six months after launch. Reports are starting to come in that...

Final Fantasy XIV is in-between patches right now, which is a perfect excuse for Square Enix to try and get people back in and playing again. To that end, there's yet another "Returner" login campaign that's kicking off today. It's live rig...

For years, a common Final Fantasy XIV (and by extension, PS4) "hack" has to been to install an SSD drive in your PS4 just to lessen the load times for hardcore XIV players. Given that the whole process won't be necessary on PS5, i...

Final Fantasy XVI seems like it's in good hands. We already sort of knew this because Yoshi-P was on the case, but Square Enix seemingly hasn't jumped the gun years in advance like they have in the past. In fact, a good deal of Final Fantas...

Back in late August, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition arrived with some unfortunate multiplayer issues. Square Enix has since apologized for it, vowing to fix the connection problems among other lingering bugs. The day ha...

Years ago, Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida quietly changed the perception of Final Fantasy XIV. I was there at E3 when XIV debuted. I saw the grimacing faces of press and players alike, and witnessed the rocky launch. I was also there when it ...

Sony kicked off their recent PS5 event right: with confirmation of Final Fantasy XVI. But it wasn't just any old Square Enix trailer, though. It actually had gameplay! According to producer Naoki "Yoshi-P" Yoshida, that was deliberate. Acco...

A cozy weekend with some of your favorite Final Fantasy games on Nintendo Switch sure sounds nice. It's hard to justify buying re-releases when we've been there and done that multiple times before on other platforms, so if you've been holdi...

Final Fantasy XV was no spring chicken by the time it finally released. Its long, winding, troubled development is well-documented, and the timeline became something of a joke. In fact, that 10 years stretched to the point where work o...

Naoki "Yoshi P" Yoshida is a legend among Final Fantasy XIV players. Known for his humble demeanor (both in and outside of the game), Yoshi P turned XIV around with A Realm Reborn reboot and never looked back. The pivot was hencef...

Sony is once again doing things right with their PS5 stream, kicking off with big-name games. The first drop? Final Fantasy XVI, a PS5 console exclusive (Square Enix says it has "no further information on the game releasing on other platfor...

Previously, on this review of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition, my Clavat caravaner completed his fourth year of travels, meeting some new friends and enemies along the way. And while his caravan is capable of holding thr...

Three days. For three days, CJ tried to find some online multiplayer friends to run dungeons alongside in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition. He never made a friend. The complete inability to play with others severely ...

It's hard to believe that PlayStation Now kicked off at the start of 2014. Hell, I can't believe PlayStation Plus was implemented in 2010. Sony has a lot of little programs (just like Microsoft, with Game Pass Ultimate!) so it can be hard t...

Final Fantasy XIV just got a fresh injection of content due to a new emotional main quest culmination in Patch 5.3 as players work through the new extreme trial and continue to enjoy the second NieR: Automata collaboration. B...

Playing through Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition has been a great test of my long-term memory. I remember the pomp and circumstance surrounding its announcement, with magazines at the time playing up the historic nat...

It started with a simple tweet: "Logged onto FFXIV and some guy gave me 999 eggs and asked me to eat them. I'm down to 685. On Marlboro [sic] if you want to come watch." If you play Final Fantasy XIV and have access to the Malboro...

Well, here we are. It's been a long time since the last Final Fantasy XIV patch: February, to be exact. There's a reason for that of course! But FFXIV fans have been hungry for more for quite a while, putting a lot of pressure on patch...

Success is relative, and amid Animal Crossing: New Horizons selling over 22 million copies in just a few months, Square Enix seems immensely proud of the fact that Final Fantasy VII Remake "shipped and digitally sold" five million...

That lovely PS4 Tifa theme was the highest-profile reward for laying a finger on some Butterfingers, but it wasn't the only digital goodie up for grabs, and it's not the only one to get an eventual free release on the PlayStation Store. Squ...

As someone who played the hell out of Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles back in the day, it came as a shock that the upcoming remaster would not support local play. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this remaster...

We know that Final Fantasy XIV's upcoming 5.3 patch is out on August 11, but now we have a little more info on what it actually entails. According to a new trailer from Square Enix, the game will of course include new main scenario quests (...

In case you missed it, several key members of the Final Fantasy IX production team have been reminiscing about the project on its 20th anniversary lately. The first part of the "special interview" project came out earlier this month, a...
