The Fate of Final Fantasy Versus XIII
The only interesting games to come out of Square Enix in the last ten years have come from Tetsuya Nomura. Kingdom Hearts, The World Ends With You, and Dissidia Final Fantasy respectively gave us crazy cross overs, Atlus-esque insanity and epic aerial combat to relieve fans from a stagnant slew of turn-based RPG’s. And now we’re being told that Final Fantasy XIII, a game that would promised the incredibly fun combat of Kingdom Hearts in a mature* setting with characters that don’t look like they just escaped a zipper factory, is cancelled.

Fixing Final Fantasy: A conversation, part two
Think Final Fantasy is a little bit broken? So do Nightmare Mode editors Tom Auxier and Adam Harshberger. The difference between you and they is that they had the time and inclination to have a minutiae-obsessed conversation about how to

The zoology of Dragon Quest IX
I have a confession to make: I have an undying love for the palette-swapped monsters in Dragon Quest IX. The monsters are cute, for starters, devoid of the baroque stylings of their Final Fantasy brethren, and they’ve made a consistent

Final Fantasy Versus XIII lives and has cutscenes galore
In an interview with Famitsu, Tetsuya Nomura confirms that Final Fantasy Versus XIII is still in the works. Apparently it’s looking pretty damn good too, better than the trailer shown at last year’s conference due to advances in real time

Straight lines: Final Fantasy XIII and inefficiency
In the end, Final Fantasy XIII will join II, V, and IX as the only Final Fantasy games I’ve never beaten. It’s a title that experienced perhaps the quickest, most profound slingshot between its reviews (largely positive) and its criticism

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Demo Impressions
Although I ultimately could not finish Final Fantasy XIII, I saw a lot of potential in its world and characters who I was actually starting to like right when the game became too frustrating for me. That’s why I was actually excited to try out the sequel for myself to see if the improvements were enough for me to revisit Cocoon and its surrounding territories.

Kingdom Hearts 3D confirmed for U.S. release, keeping awful title
Dream Drop Distance? Really? The next spinoff for the Kingdom Hearts series will be arriving on our shores for 3DS in 2012. Although this isn’t as surprising as the localization of Xenoblade, it’s good news for less jaded Kingdom Hearts
