They call it burning bridges because fire brings about complete and unrelenting destruction. Fire doesn't discriminate. It ruthlessly eradicates everything in its path, bridges included. And, when it's all razed to the ground, there's ferti...

Square Enix is known for weird publicity stunts and Final Fantasy story-bending, and this is no exception. According to the publisher, by way of a tie-in event for Mobius Final Fantasy, they're gong to explain what happened to Tidus between...

Although Final Fantasy XIV is supported by hefty content patches every three months or so (which follow the same pattern of catch-up, hardcore raid content, catch-up, and so on), it also sports random themed events from time to time. That i...

With the Seiken Densetsu trilogy arriving very early on the Switch (in Japan at least), people kind of assumed that when the Secret of Mana remake project was announced, that it will arrive on that platform as well. That didn't seem to be t...

The new unveiling of the Japan-themed Shirogane housing district in Final Fantasy XIV didn't go so swimmingly -- I should know, I was there! Right at reset at the wee hours of the morning (US), folks were waiting in the queue to jump i...

Life comes at you fast. Life is Strange: Before the Storm (arguably) comes at your faster. The original Life is Strange had some drama surrounding how far apart its episodes were released. Chloe's prequel story has no interest in...

Final Fantasy XIV has now entered its "catch-up state." Whereas 4.0 was all about catering to the hardcore side with a four-level raid tier and new item cap to work toward, 4.1, known as The Legend Returns, doesn't shake up the formula in a...

Nao Higo, the localization producer for Soulcalibur II, stopped by the 8-4 Play podcast and one of the more interesting topics he brought to discuss was the Soulcalibur guest character that almost was. According to Higo, before Tekken's Hei...

Hitman, 2016's best game, released levels in an episodic format that many agreed was a rare case of that release method working well. Each new level released was a large new map full of ways to kill both the story and elusive targets. Aside...

Final Fantasy is a series that shaped my taste in games in an astounding way growing up. Believe it or not, young Rich wasn't exactly a social butterfly. Once I made it to high school I would carve out my own group of friends with similar i...

While we wait for Dissidia Final Fantasy NT on PS4, the Japanese arcade version is slowly adding more characters to the mix. Final Fantasy III's Cloud of Darkness admittedly isn't as exciting of an addition as someone brand new to the seri...

Japan and weird games isn't particular news to anyone, but the other day I was perusing the list of games published and/or developed by Enix before they merged with Square and found a lot of them to be quite odd. Some games like Mischief Ma...

Square Enix is giving us a brief showcase of Final Fantasy XIV: The Legend Returns (Patch 4.1) before its October 10 debut, and it looks pretty damn sweet. While most of these patch trailers are main questline focused, we do get a good...

By way of the latest Final Fantasy XIV Liveletter, we now know that patch 4.1 will launch on October 10. As we know it'll feature a huge 24-person (casual) raid themed around Final Fantasy Tactics, as well as a new dungeon, more story conte...

Square Enix teased a heap of villains for Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade in a shadowy image recently, and we've yet to see that tease follow through. Our next reveal will be on October 3 at 20:00 JST, which you can watch at the link below, a...

Apologies to any and all of you who excitedly read that as Spelunky instead of Spelunker. Square Enix is bringing Spelunker Party! to Nintendo Switch in the West next month, and you know what? I think this might be my first crack at one of ...

A few weeks back, we reported on some luscious NieR vinyl LPs that were being made available to Japan. Square Enix have now confirmed that the records are available for Western distribution, and pre-orders have gone live.Both the NieR: Auto...

Tokyo RPG Factory is still trucking despite the polarizing reception to I Am Setsuna, and I for one am glad they got another shot. Lost Sphear looks to be more of the same Chrono Trigger style RPG goodness, and it's slated for release in Ja...

The remake of Square Enix's classic SNES RPG Secret of Mana is just a few months away. To further whet the appetites of nostalgic thirty-somethings, new art has been released of the game's major players, along with the Japanese cast for the...

You're looking at a nervous girl. She has a hostage and holds a knife in her hands. There's a gun in yours. You're the only character that isn't in danger, but despite that the situation is as tense as it can get. The main character is neve...

This is why I still haven't played Final Fantasy XV: they just don't stop releasing new content. I thought it was a lot when they had multiple non-numbered, canonical demo episodes, an anime, and movie before release. Now there are multipl...
