Bandai Namco initially announced the latest entry in the long-running JRPG Tales Of franchise, Tales Of Arise, during E3 2019. There's been little news about the game since then (besides a new trailer every now and again), and now the developer has confirmed that the game has been delayed indefinitely. Tales Of Arise was initially supposed to rele...

Last weekend during the PC Gaming Show 2020, Atlus finally announced Persona 4 Golden for PC and released it on the same day on Steam. Barely two days later, the game has already broken the record for the most-played (non-MMO) JRPG on Steam, with the highest concurrent player peak of all-time at 29,984 (at the time of writing). The previous record...
It's 2020, meaning that it's high time PC folks should experience the best JRPGs Atlus has to offer more than a decade ago, at least from the PS2 and PS Vita side of things. According to some sources on Twitter (via Wario64 and SabiWabii), the two best Persona games will be going onto PC via Steam. We're talking about Persona 3... ...and Person...

Platforms: PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch Genre: 3D Action RPG Based On The Most-Requested Mana Game April 2020 has been all about the juggernaut that is the Final Fantasy VII Remake.

[Review originally published on 6th April. We're bumping it to 10th April because it's officially out now on PlayStation Stores] Platform: PS4 Genre: Action RPG reimagining of a 1997 cultural milestone Throw a stone in a crowd, and you're bound to hit someone who actually heard of Final Fantasy VII, one of the most-renowned and universally-belove...
If my chat about Chrono Trigger on The Last King podcast is of any indication, is that the world is due for an indie spiritual successor of the 90s classic. And not from Tokyo RPG Factory, please. Sabotage Studio, the folks who made the hit 2D 8/16-bit Ninja Gaiden-esque platformer The Messenger will be creating an ode to past JRPGs of yore called...
It's only a month away until Final Fantasy 7 Remake hits store shelves for the PS4. Bet you can't wait to revisit the series and use heroes like Cloud and Tifa, eh? If you're familiar with the series, however, you won't be using one particular red four-legged talking mutant. According to Final Fantasy 7 Remake co-director Naoki Hamaguchi (via VG24...
This short guide to Fire Emblem's latest expansion is still in development... Fire Emblem: Three Houses' latest DLC, Cindered Shadow, is now out in the wilds and available on the Nintendo Eshop.

If you want to get in on Falcom's Legend of Heroes series, the Trails of The Sky instalments are available on PC right now. But if you want something a bit more "modern", you can't go wrong with the Cold Steel entries. The first two, Trails of Cold Steel I and Trails of Cold Steel II, are already on PC, but you'll have to wait a few months for the...
Turns out Marvel's Avengers isn't the only game getting a delayed from Square Enix, though it's not as severe a pushback. The remake of Final Fantasy VII where you control Avalanche member Cloud as he kicks corporate ass as an eco-terrorist alongside his black friend Barrett and well-endowed childhood friend Tifa, will be pushed back from its 3rd ...
Another year in the books. Taking a look back at all the things that happened in 2019, I find myself pleasantly surprised by the number of video game releases there was this year. It's a number that ranges in the hundreds. In fact, there are more video game releases in a year than there are actual days. Knowing that I'll never be able to keep up...

Whenever I'm assigned to write news about Yakuza 7 AKA Yakuza: Like a Dragon, I have to double check whatever I'm reading because it's very obvious the developers just keep trying to outdo the ridiculousness of their past games.
