Nope, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. Katy Perry is the next pop star to be in a Final Fantasy game as a guest character. For the mobile gacha-heavy RPG title Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius. This was announced during the FFBE fan event during the weekend. Strange, I know. https://www.facebook.com/7126051465/posts/10155793879086466/ https://...
I took the PlayStation Classic for a spin recently. And while a few of the games deserved to be on the retro-throwback cube, I felt that there should be other worthy titles in the mix. As it stands, the motley of games on the mini retro console is, how shall I put it, lacking. I'm not saying I know better, but as someone who lived through the 90s ...

The last Parasite Eve game on the PSP back in 2011 -called The Third Birthday- was interesting, to say the least. It was also one of the games Hajime Tabata directed before doing bigger Final Fantasy projects like Type-0 and XV. So is it high time to see the revival of this survival horror RPG? Or body-switching action RPG? Well, we might be getti...
Kingdom Hearts 2 was released in 2006 while Kingdom Hearts 3 will be releasing in 2019. That's more than a decade; whole franchises have started and died in that span of time. While some might mock the Kingdom Hearts franchise due to its annoyingly convoluted storyline and confusing cash-in game expansions (1.5, 1.8, 2.5, 2.8, Final Mix, etc), I ha...
During the weekend's Final Fantasy XIV's Fan Festival in Las Vegas, USA, the Square Enix developers of the game announced a bunch of new changes to the ever-growing MMORPG.

Remember Square Enix's The Avengers Project? Not much has been revealed about the ambitious Marvel game since it was initially announced in early 2017. However, the game now has a page and description on co-developer Crystal Dynamics' official website, which was added in a recent update. The page opens with a press release that confirms several d...
Holy crap, so much for expanding the Final Fantasy XV universe. In a sudden announcement today, Square Enix announced the cancellation of three of the four planned FFXV episode expansion packs (via GameSpot). The cancelled expansions include the ones featuring Aranea, Lunafreya, and Noctis. The one featuring FFXV's antagonist Ardyn will still be r...
Over 30 years ago, games industry veteran Yuji Horii created one of the most enduring and iconic JRPG franchises of all time, Dragon Quest. It has been revealed that Horii had divorced his wife and recently married an old flame from an affair over two decades ago. According to Yahoo Japan (as translated by user Sage on Resetera), Horii finally spil...
Good news for all you Dragon Quest 11 fans out there, as the game has proven to be an incredible success for Square Enix. The developer announced that total worldwide shipments and digital sales for Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age have exceeded four million units.

After being bombarded with Frozen's Arendelle in previous Kingdom Hearts 3 trailers, Square Enix has finally given us a glimpse into Tangled's Kingdom of Corona featured in the upcoming highly-anticipated JRPG. It's a glorious sight to behold, with Corona's lush green forests a stark contrast to Arendelle's pure white snowy environments. In the tr...
From 26th to 28th October, the Philippines were blessed with one of Southeast Asia's biggest gaming expos called the Electronic Sports & Gaming Summit. I was there, and at a risk of sounding like a shill, I'd say this event goes beyond kickassery. It's got upcoming games like Project Xandata, Devil May Cry 5, & theResident Evil 2 remake. I...
Wanzer, I mean wonder no more as the Front Mission action game you've all been waiting desperately for will be out next year. Left Alive, which is a far cry from the turn-based mecha-heavy strategy game the Front Mission series is known for, will be out 5th March 2019 for PC and PlayStation 4. To be fair, this isn't the first time the Wanzer-focus...
Word on the street is that Devil May Cry 5 will feature optional microtransactions to save players from grinding your Neros and Dantes. According to a GameSpot report during Tokyo Game Show 2018, players can pay real-world money to purchase the series' in-game currency, red orbs. Much like halos in Bayonetta, red orbs can be used to buy moves, w...
2018 marks the 30th anniversary of the long-running Dragon Quest franchise. That's why series creator Yuji Horii and the folks at Square Enix decided to develop Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age in order to celebrate the milestone. After playing the game for almost 107 hours and ultimately obtaining the Platinum trophy, I believe that t...
And the remasters/remakes/current-gen ports keep on comin'. Square Enix recently announced the Romancing SaGa III HD remaster slated for an early 2019 release. The target platforms include the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS Vita, iOS, and Android. That's a lotta platforms for a niche JRPG series and I for one am glad. The third game in th...
This feature is still being updated... It's that time of year again in Japan where every video game company in the country shows off their latest games, be it for consoles or for mobile. While TGS has been dominated by mobile games year in and year out, the spectacle of the event has yet to diminish. Thankfully in this age of livestream and Twitc...
Everybody loves treasure and loot, especially if you're in a strange-yet-familiar fantasy land where you and your merry band of adventurers are searching for echoes in an elusive age. Okay, you don't literally do that in Square Enix's Dragon Quest XI, but you do level up and fight turn-based style with a motley crew of knights, spellcasters, and he...
Sony PlayStation made a preemptive strike a week before Tokyo Game Show to announce its slew of new titles. Let's highlight the best ones, shall we? Samurai Shodown Slated For 2019 https://www.facebook.com/kakuchopurei/videos/715437335484148/ We wrote about this earlier.

Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: JRPG, Throwback To The 90s If you've been playing a buttload of JRPGs in the early and late 90s, chances are you've seen someone at the Kota Raya or old-school Yaohan side game stores pull out those Japanese SNES cartridges or PS1 CD and playing through an obscure Squaresoft title. They looked like an FF game -fro...
