Unfortunately, the more realistic design that Square Enix is going for with Final Fantasy 7 Remake moving forward means that the old strategy of simply toning down the outer-world as a low-poly map won’t work anymore. Of course, Final Fantasy 15 went for an open-world experience with a life-like design, but one of the biggest critiques of how that title approached this type of mechanic with the Regalia.

Cait Sith functioned kind of as a comic-relief or silly character in the original Final Fantasy 7, and that could still ring true in Final Fantasy 7 Remake. While the intended character arc for Cait Sith does somewhat align with the overarching story of Final Fantasy 7, Cait Sith’s story is a bit confusing if fans try to read into it. As for Cait Sith’s potential battle mechanics and participation, they could either be reformatted into a different purpose, or the Remake could just own it and Cait Sith is still a main battle character....

This exact phenomenon is what happened to Reddit user LetterOK3512, who pointed out a small detail in the game’s benches that act as rest areas throughout Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s dungeons. Interestingly, the original poster isn’t the only one to have missed the details in the two years that the game has been released, with commenters on the post noticing the callback for the first time now that it has been pointed out....

Kuja’s outfit is legendary for its odd design and reliance on anime physics to function, but Redditor lidiagumi has taken the challenge of translating the mess of flowing skirts, leather straps, and thigh-high boots into something that a real person could wear. The result is an intricate costume that would fit on any list of best Final Fantasy 9 cosplays. RELATED: Final Fantasy 9 Graphics Mod Adds Sharper Detail to PC Version...

When gamers reach the end of Final Fantasy 6, they have to fight the Statue of the Gods, a gauntlet-style boss that players must face in order to reach the final battle. Once the Statue of the Gods is defeated, players face Kefka as the final boss of Final Fantasy. All who have beaten Final Fantasy 6 will remember the battle with Statue of the Gods, including one fan who decided to immortalize the enemy on their body....

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin was rumored for about a month before its reveal at E3. It seemed inevitable as many sources pointed to its existence but a confirmation from the source itself, in this case, Square Enix, is always better. This game can be boiled down to two words: Dark Souls. To be fair it might be better to call it a Nioh-like, as that’s the game Team Ninja worked on which is also very Souls-like....

Though the game received mixed reviews with many critics disliking its more linear gameplay, Final Fantasy XIII was still considered a success and went on to have two sequels. But even for the most dedicated fans who have by now memorized the lore of the game, there’s a lot about this popular Final Fantasy sequel that they don’t know. Here are ten things about Final Fantasy XIII you need to know....

The closed beta phase for Final Fantasy XIV had ended on Wednesday the 25th, and Square Enix had announced via twitter that the next phase, open beta, would commence on August 31st, however that seems not to be the case. The official beta site had this to say: It is unclear what the “critical bugs” are, or when the open beta will be made available, but what is more troublesome is that this cannot bode well for the scheduled release date of September 30th....

Persona 5 has more than one spin-off manga, or Japanese comic books. The main manga, which is simply titled Persona 5, is still ongoing and is being translated for English-speaking audiences by Viz Media. The manga in question here, however, is Persona 5: Mementos Mission. RELATED: Persona 5 Royal Achieves Record Sales in U.S., Europe Persona 5: Mementos Mission will be coming to a close in Japan on June 27th in Dengeki Maoh magazine and will then be compiled into the third and final volume on July 27th....

The other mystery, however, is why anybody thought transposing this Shakespeare tragedy of jealousy, pride and evil into high-school terms was such a hot idea. Frankly, I’ve always found the melodramatic “plot” of “Othello” torturous to sit through. What’s great about it is the language, and that’s nowhere to be found in director Tim Blake Nelson and writer Brad Kaaya’s ambitious but muddled movie. Othello is now high-school basketball star Odin (Mekhi Phifer), the only black student at an elite prep school....

The truth of the matter is that Y’shtola can see with magic. However, the type of magic she uses is not consistent with what she is actually able to see at various points in Final Fantasy 14. The inconsistency around Y’shtola’s eyesight has made it one of the games’ most contentious issues with fans.

The Final Fantasy series is no stranger to strange foes and this game has some of the weirdest. Monsters that are spliced together, soldiers twisted into horrible forms, and a hostile penguin are just some of the things you’ll find in this strange game. 10 Jenova – LIFE As the team is traveling to Costa Del Sol on a cargo ship they are attacked by this monstrosity.

Gaming has come a long way since the release of the original Final Fantasy 7, so it should come as no surprise that the graphical differences between it and the Final Fantasy 7 Remake are so vast. With the same exact scenes side by side, the two games do not even look the same. And while many may enjoy the nostalgic graphics of the 1997 version, there’s no doubting that the new graphics make the game look above and beyond....

Square Enix is also releasing a Barret Wallace figurine alongside the sword-toting hero, both of which had early prototypes on display at the annual Jump Festa event in Japan. The exposition typically focuses on anime and manga announcements, but over the last several years videogames have taken a strong foothold as well, in a similar fashion to North American events like San Diego Comic-Con. The figurines currently have no set release date from Square Enix, nor did the displays list any potential prices....

As seen in the tweets and images below courtesy of the Twitter user simply known as “junshen,” fans looking forward to the Final Fantasy 7 Remake can get a gander at a bevy of fresh concept art for the title, including, but not limited to conceptual designs of characters and environments. To be more specific, the images come from part of the “Words Aerith Left Behind” exhibit, in which the Sector 5 Church of the game is recreated....

Through the official Final Fantasy 7 Remake Twitter, Square Enix shows Tifa giving a vicious-looking bug a swift kick to the mandible. It isn’t just any old kick, however; it’s Tifa’s Limit Break known as Somersault. Longtime fans of the original may recall this move, but they’ve never seen it like this. For those who aren’t familiar with the original, Limit Breaks are abilities that use up a character’s Limit Gauge, which builds up through damage taken from enemies....

There are four Final Fantasy projects mentioned in the leak. Assuming the leak is accurate, it seems as though Final Fantasy fans may be able to look forward to Final Fantasy Tactics Remastered at some point down the line, alongside the long-rumored PC port of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and an eventual PC port of Final Fantasy 16. Perhaps the most shocking game mentioned in the leak, though, is a Final Fantasy 9 remake, though it’s possible that this is actually in reference to the existing enhanced version that already exists....
