Platform: Nintendo Switch Genre: Turn-Based RPG featuring Mario & the gang, new Squaresoft characters, and Yoko Shimomura's beginnings Back in 1996, Squaresoft (now Square Enix) teamed up with Nintendo at one point to make a brand-new role-playing game with turn-based combat starring characters from the Mario universe. Not only that, Square...
Continuing the tradition of creating action figures and toys of long-dead 90s JRPG properties, Square Enix is still milking the Xenogears train in that regard. The latest offering is Maria Balthasar and Chu-Chu, who are part of the Bring Arts line of figures. Both characters are included in one set, with the price tag being roughly US$123. Check...
Square Enix showed us a sneak peek of its upcoming remake of SNES RPG classic Live A Live. You know, the JRPG with the eight heroes from different eras whose stories converge in one final epic arc that was never localized outside of Japan. Anyway, the remake's new trailers are looking sweet, featuring the Prehistoric stage that stars caveman Pog...
Yes, there are some stinkers in the mothership Final Fantasy collection. Whether they're made obsolete or just badly-designed, we have the gist here. Just remember, a usually "bad" FF game is slightly better than your average JRPG at the time. https://youtu.be/mRPynTfBXH8...
Square Enix has brought a pleasant surprise for loyal fans of Final Fantasy series with the reveal of Final Fantasy VIII Remastered which is heading to major consoles and PC this year. The remastered version also gains new features absent in the original game. Here's our first look between the remastered version and the original version on the Pla...
Remember the SaGa series, a bunch of Squaresoft JRPGs where non-linearity and an obtuse levelling-up system help make it stand out among its other RPG contemporaries? No you didn't, because you were busy playing other Squaresoft RPGs with uppercase Fs in their titles. No matter; Square Enix plans to localize its previous remasters and new SaGa ent...
What a pleasant surprise! The best Final Fantasy, which is Final Fantasy VIII, is getting remastered, after many years of being slept on, and it is coming real soon this year, just in time for its 20th anniversary since its original release back in 1999. If you've been following the development of this title, you'll know that the game was often lo...
It's good to see a game like Chrono Trigger getting more acclaim and praise 24 years later. According to a Famitsu poll (via Siliconera), the Squaresoft JRPG was voted the best game in the Heisei period. This was followed by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and NieR: Automata at 2nd and 3rd place respectively. The poll had 7,158 readers par...
Released in 1999, Final Fantasy VIII (FFVIII) seems to be one of the forgotten titles from the classic Final Fantasy era. Nobody is to be blamed from this, though, because its predecessor, Final Fantasy VII, was a cult hit that spawned multiple spinoffs and still is being spoken up to this very day.

I took the PlayStation Classic for a spin recently. And while a few of the games deserved to be on the retro-throwback cube, I felt that there should be other worthy titles in the mix.
