It’s been nearly 15 years since the release of Kingdom Hearts II, on Sony’s PlayStation 2, back in December 2005. And while there have been a myriad of oddly playing, obscurely-titled off-shoots in between, they never quite scratched the fandom’s itch. It’s been nearly two years since we’ve posted a story here, for the release of another of Square’s long awaited titles in Final Fantasy XV, but for something we were all wishing for back in this site’s heyday - it felt appropriate to come back for this: Kingdom Hearts III has, at long last, released worldwide. 15 years to write that. Crazy. So for the fans of the series who have waited an eternity - and to anyone who’s read our KHIII coverage over the years - we hope it’s everything you have wanted it to be. Enjoy~

There was some speculation that FINAL FANTASY XV’s delay from September to November may have been related to Sony’s as-of-then-unannounced hardware, the PS4 Pro and PS4 Slim. While the additional development time has yielded significant improvements to FINAL FANTASY XV, the whole situation is still a bit suspicious. Sony and Square Enix have announced a Limited Deluxe Edition Final Fantasy...

There’s no doubt that Square Enix has heavily promoted Final Fantasy XV on Sony’s hardware, the PS4 and PS4 Pro. While confirmation of support for the PS4 Pro was pretty immediate, there’s been nary a whisper about the Xbox One S. Regardless, FINAL FANTASY XV’s development team is charging ahead with optimizing the game for Microsoft’s hardware as well. Dualshockers...

In hindsight, Kingsglaive was obviously expected to be Final Fantasy XV’s emergent multimedia universe darling. I would argue that position has been usurped by the consistently excellent anime Brotherhood. Whereas Brotherhood is quite good, Kingsglaive is just good enough. This isn’t to say that Kingsglaive is bad. With stunning visuals and a gripping score, the foundation for an excellent movie...
