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...

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...

Square Enix has added a new video to their Final Fantasy XV YouTube channel because, apparently the company's trying to make peace after delaying the game to November 29th. Rest assured, all is forgiven because of three words: Darin De Paul, AKA, Ardyn Izunia, Chancellor of Niflheim. This video also marks--I think--the first time we've heard Lunafreya speak in-game.

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...

The wait for Final Fantasy XV just got a little longer. Hajime Tabata announced on YouTube last week that Final Fantasy XV’s release date has been delayed from September 30th to November 29th, 2016—jumping from a Friday to the more traditional Tuesday in the process. Tabata’s confirmation followed the emergence of rumors late last weekend that Square Enix provided instructions...
