  • Final Fantasy XIII’s Odin Figure

    This is a prototype figure of Final Fantasy XIII’s Odin, as seen at a figure and hobby event, Chara-Hobby in Chiba, Japan. I guess this is Odin in horse form, he can do that in XIII. [ via Kotaku ]

  • Dragon Quest IX’s Japanese Launch

    I’ve always been curious what exactly goes on during a Dragon Quest launch in Japan. The game is kind of a big deal there. So big, in fact, that they only release them on Saturdays (instead of their normal Thursday launches), supposedly because everyone would skip school/work/etc. to play the game (I’m not sure if…

  • Star Ocean 4 Regional Differences

    For some reason, Square Enix decided to change a lot of the interfaces for the North American version of Star Ocean 4. They changed all the anime into CG…I wonder why?

  • Star Ocean 4 Faceplate

    A bunch of Star Ocean 4 kiosks popped up in Japan on Sunday, each one displaying the Star Ocean 4 faceplate. I think it looks pretty cool. Hopefully they’ll bring those to the U.S. [ via Kotaku ]

  • Final Fantasy XIII Trailer

    There’s a new Final Fantasy XIII trailer out, available here. It shows off some actual gameplay and has English subtitles. The game looks really nice so far, reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy VII.

  • New Final Fantasy XIII Screens

    A few new screens have surfaced for Final Fantasy XIII in V-Jump, a Japanese video game and manga magazine. There are a few details about the game we have been able to decipher despite knowning no Japanese. There appears to be a very prominent red-headed female character that is reminiscent of Rikku from Final Fantasy…

  • Dragon Quest X Coming to Wii

    Yesterday, at an event in Japan, Square Enix announced Dragon Quest X is coming to the Wii. The event was held to promote their March 28th release of Dragon Quest IX for the DS (side note: Dragon Quest IX is going to cost 5,980 yen there, or roughly $64.73, which is insane). I hope it…

  • Square Enix E3 Lineup

    Square Enix has a hell of a lot of games coming out…interestingly, Final Fantasy XIII isn’t on the list, which kind of sucks but at the same time is OK because I don’t own a PS3 yet. Regardless, there are still a ton of great games coming out, the Chrono Trigger remake should be cool,…

  • Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King Review

    Before I actually begin this review I think I should make it clear that I really didn’t like Crystal Chronicles. As a fan of the more “traditional” Final Fantasy games, I found Crystal Chronicles to be extremely lacking, just a half-assed attempt to put a “Final Fantasy” title on the Gamecube. So, when I heard…

  • Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen (DS)

    There’s been no official announcement from Square Enix, but an official Dragon Quest IV site has shown up through Square Enix North America. The site also reveals the games release date of September 16th! It goes on to tease information about Dragon Quest V and VI U.S. releases, but no release dates are mentioned. I…

  • Crisis Core – Worst Level Up System, Ever

    I love Final Fantasy VII, VII and III (VI) are my two favorite Final Fantasy games to date. So, any new Final Fantasy VII spin-off game that comes out is always something I’m interested in. Anyway, picked it up over my long absence and I’ve pretty much liked everything about it, the battles are pretty…

  • The World Ends With You Gameplay Trailer

    I’m curious about this game for two reasons. First, it’s a Square-Enix game, so I’m thinking it will turn out well. Second, the music seems really interesting. Overall, it just seems really different. More information about The World Ends With You is available here.
