I'm kind of happy going into Octopath Traveler blind. Square Enix has been experimenting with old school JRPGs lately and I'm loving it, even if they're still trying to wrestle down that old Chrono Trigger formula -- and not quite getting t...

Andy's Room is an absolute stunner. As the E3 demo for Kingdom Hearts III opened, I stood there for a moment, in absolute awe, at what Square Enix had created. Arguably one of the best, most colorful games I've seen, it took me a moment to ...

E3 is a rather lousy place to play Dragon Quest XI for the first time. Sessions are limited to just 15 minutes, and with two small maps to explore with a bevy of points of interest, a single session isn't even a proper amount of t...

NieR: Automata exceeded everyone's expectations, both in terms of critical and commercial metrics. Everyone involved seems happy with it, and it's even getting an Xbox One port soon -- something that never seemed possible given how poorly t...

The whole "kids and salarymen skipped school/work" to buy and play Dragon Quest legend is one of my favorite stories to tell people who aren't familiar with the world of games. It's a fun little story that has grown in popularity in th...

Last October the Final Fantasy XIV team unleashed their first "Ultimate" raid tier project into the wild, and the concept caught on like wildfire. Only accessible to groups who have cleared the latest raid tier on the highest difficulty (Sa...

Yesterday we summed up E3's conference situation so far, and it was looking really good for Microsoft. Towering over above the others with a 76.6% approval rating (for context, we provided polls at the end of every conference for readers to...

We aren't quite done with new information about Octopath Traveler. While Nintendo didn't show any extra footage or even clue us into details, they did announce that a new demo will be available on the eShop this week. Launching on the 14th,...

Capping off the dazzling and expensive-as-eff-looking Kingdom Hearts III section of the Sony E3 2018 presser, Square Enix announced a limited-edition PlayStation 4 Pro and an all-in-one package exclusive to PS4. It'll include Kingdom Hearts...

With Kingdom Hearts III being a reality that we can play next year, it was only a matter of time that Square Enix would get on the collector's edition bandwagon. The standard deluxe edition (available now on Amazon) will be going for $79.99...

Square Enix tempered our expectations by saying that their E3 "Showcase" was more like a prepped Direct, and man I'm glad they did that. With hardly any reveals it really was a showcase of trailers, giving us info we pretty much knew alread...

In a quick sizzle reel going over some upcoming releases, Square Enix gave us one last trailer before Octopath Traveler launches next month. It doesn't show off much new info, but it does give us a look at the very stylish header image. I r...

So uh, The Quiet Man is a thing. During today's E3 Direct/Showcase presentation, Square Enix unveiled a new project that involves beating up people on the street and delivering lunch. In a strange live action/in-game engine bending tra...

Square Enix is constantly spouting the phrase "Lara's defining moment" when talking about Shadow of the Tomb Raider, like she hasn't had a dozen of them already in her reboot incarnation. And with their E3 Showcase/Direct today, they s...

An intriguing under-the-radar reveal from yesterday's Xbox press conference was The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. It's a tale of childhood wonder told through the perspective of a young kid as he uses his imagination to deal with g...

There is something about the Dragon Quest theme song that, no matter what mood I am in, will brighten me up and make the next hour or so of my life truly wonderful. That's the mood I'm in now having seen the new trailer Square Enix re...

During their online E3 presentation today, Square Enix released a super-dramatic trailer for Babylon's Fall coming next year on PS4 and PC.The trailer featured a collection of intense moments taken from throughout the Dark Ages, ultimately ...

As teased during Square Enix's E3 2018 showcase, Final Fantasy XIV is planning a crossover event with Monster Hunter: World. The flying wyvern Rathalos is coming this summer. Go for the tail!

Square Enix is set to have a big E3. How do we know that? Because the publisher has put together a pre-recorded showcase which is something that it only does sparingly. It's not an every year thing; it's a when it's warranted thing. Both S...

After that leak the other day, it was only a matter of time that we'd see Just Cause 4. We finally got a look at the game today and it seems just like the last few entries. Rico will return to blow up more vehicles and cause mass havoc. Exp...

Even if I weren't already committed to seeing the trilogy through to the end after clearing the first two games, I'd be down for Shadow of the Tomb Raider solely for its Mayan-apocalypse premise. Also, the bit where Lara uses mud as camouf...

Kingdom Hearts III is the first game in the series that's coming to Xbox. As such, it got some airtime at the Xbox E3 press conference today. Sure, you know you're down to watch a new Kingdom Hearts III trailer. Sora with the Key...

It wouldn't be E3 without a bevy of pre-E3 leaks. The latest out of Square Enix should be good news for Xbox One owners. In a now-removed listing on Square-Enix-Games.com, the publisher confirmed the best-selling NieR: Automata is comi...

If you've been champing at the bit to play Kingdom Hearts III, it may be time you invest in a new bit. Square Enix has confirmed the highly anticipated sequel will not launch in 2018. Instead, we'll get our chance to hopefully wra...

Final Fantasy XV is the kinda game I want to see modders run wild in. Square Enix pledged official mod support for the PC version right after the port was announced, and now it's making good on its word. If you're anything like me and you j...
