Awesome Final Fantasy

Cloud’s Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII is one of the coolest weapons in gaming history. While a real world version would be too heavy to effectively wield, one made from cardboard is totally manageable. Watch as Crafty Transformer turns a bunch of corrugated paper into a lightweight replica of the iconic combat tool.

Square Enix has shared a lot of details about Final Fantasy VII: Remake. It will be split into multiple games, the first of which drops 03/03/20. The game will feature a mix of hack-and-slash and tactical combat, and appears to expand the story of the original.

The beloved teen drama Final Fantasy is finally coming back. Final Fantasy VIII Remastered features overhauled graphics and will be released this 2019 for PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Windows via Steam. If you think the upgrade doesn’t look like much, think again.

After four long years, it’s finally here. Another teaser, that is. Seriously though, the Final Fantasy VII Remake is looking very good. This new clip gives us a peek at the revamped battle system, as well as the gorgeous designs for Cloud, Aerith and Barret.

Square Enix has released a Final Fantasy Advent Children Play Arts Kai Cloud Strife and Fenrir action figure set. The motorcycle has holsters to hold Cloud’s six Fusion component swords, and a completed Fusion Sword is included in the set. The bike also has light up parts.

Square Enix put on a fantastic projection mapped show on the side of the famous InterContinental Yokohoma Grand hotel to celebrate Final Fantasy‘s 30th anniversary and the recent release of Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood.

We’ve seen a deadly replica of Cloud’s weapon of choice. Here’s a life-size replica that’s less threatening but still backbreaking. ZaziNombies used about 2,000 LEGO pieces to make this 6ft, 8lb replica. Someone teach him how to hold it.

In the early ’80s, spurred by the success of Dragon Quest, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Koichi Ishii and Akitoshi Kawazu came up with a roleplaying video game inspired by Western tabletop RPGs. The result is a series that, while not always brilliant, is never afraid to reinvent itself.

(PG-13: Language) Videogamedunkey gives an entertaining and pragmatic judgment on Final Fantasy XV for those who are still on the fence about the JRPG. Like Metal Gear Solid V, FF XV has unacceptable flaws, but its gameplay and presentation redeem it.

Square Enix’s lengthy preview for the much-awaited Final Fantasy XV does a good job of introducing the JRPG’s characters, story, combat and level up systems, side-quests and more. If this doesn’t get you excited about the game, nothing will. Get the pinball app here.

“This is the guys left from N’Sync. This is what they do now.” Clueless Gamer Conan O’Brien and guest Elijah Wood play through the long-awaited mega JRPG. They compare it to Waiting for Godot and Ulysses, but not as compliments.

Our most comprehensive look at this year’s mega RPG shows many of the game’s customization, crafting and stores. You can change your characters’ clothes, purchase decals for your car, acquire skills and more. There’s also a bit of combat thrown in.

The opening moments of Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV introduces the root of the conflict and Aaron Paul’s character Nyx Ulric, one of the elite soldiers in the magic-wielding kingdom of Lucis. Nyx and his fellow Kingsglaive are strong, but their enemies have machines and monsters.

Magic versus machinery, an empire versus a squad. The action and animation are as impressive as ever in the latest trailer for the Final Fantasy XV feature film. It makes us wish Blizzard did the Warcraft movie themselves.

King Regis of Lucis is forced to marry off his son as part of a peace treaty with the mighty Nilfheim empire. But it was all a ruse – war was coming all along. Now Lucis’ royal guard might be all that’s standing between Nilfheim and the rest of the world.

Aw yiss, muthaflippin’ Gambits. This PS4 exclusive remaster of the MMO-like single player RPG features high definition graphics and cut scenes, 7.1 surround sound, improved load times, auto-save, Trophies, a speed mode and more. Drops in 2017.

A CGI animated film set in the same place and time as the events of Final Fantasy XV. The film is about King Regis (the father of FF XV’s main character Prince Noctis) and his personal guard, the Kingsglaive. Featuring Sean Bean, Lena Headey and Aaron Paul.

A five-episode animated miniseries that introduces us to Final Fantasy XV‘s main characters: Noctis, Prince of Lucis, Gladiolus, a fellow noble, Ignis, a military tactician, and Prompto, a carefree commoner. It’s standard anime fare, but it does its job.

The much awaited RPG will be available 9/30/16. After a decade of development, Square Enix appears confident in what it came up with, so much so that it’s selling a $270 Ultimate Collector’s Edition, which comes with a Play Arts Kai Noctis action figure.

Accompany Garnet, Zidane and their friends on their adventures wherever you are with the iOS and Android versions of Final Fantasy IX. It features HD graphics, auto-saving and cheats such as no battles or maxed out abilities for those who are in it mainly for the story.

Prince Noctis and his gang show off their stealth, combo and magic skills as they infiltrate an enemy military encampment in this exciting gameplay footage from Square Enix’s latest update on Final Fantasy XV. More details here.

Check out clips from Final Fantasy VII‘s opening sequence redone in the upcoming Remake. We hope the game retains its sense of humor even though the chibi graphics are gone. Because we still want to go on a date with Barret.

It’s an FF news app, but the reason why you’ll get it is because it includes Final Fantasy VIII‘s addictive card game Triple Triad, with both single and online multiplayer modes. Out now for Android; iOS version coming soon.
