Fantasy & Blade

The latest patch for MMORPG Final Fantasy 14 brings an end to Dawntrail's relic weapons, allied society, and Hildebrand quests

I think my favourite thing about the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy so far is the specific ways in which the developers at Square Enix inject nostalgia. The games launched to date - Remake and Rebirth - manage to nod warmly towards aspects of the original RPG without it ever feeling trite. You can see it in so many aspects of the way the games are curated: the way certain musical sequences are teased as motifs, and then brought in, full-throated, for certain boss fights; the redesigns of (in)famous monsters, and how certain major enemies are deployed in slightly remixed ways for maximum effect

It's still one of the best gaming laptops money can buy, but the massive price tag throws me for a loop.

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is a while away. In the meantime, sink your teeth into these massive JRPGs that will hold you over until FF7R Part 3 is out

Does Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, a game long forgotten in the Final Fantasy series, have the best soundtrack of all of the games? Brian thinks so. Let him convince you.
