Speaking during an interview at PAX West, director Hajime Tabata noted that “traditionally, Final Fantasy has a bit of an image that everyone has the exact same experience and shares that experience with everyone that plays the game.” But with Final Fantasy 15 “the way the whole game is structured and created gives each individual player their own individual and unique FF15 journey.” The developer expects modders to really embrace that, as “the idea that you can change it any way they want is exciting....

Given how trivial a lot of the content in Final Fantasy 15 can be in terms of difficulty, some might be surprised that a dungeon can be so difficult. But what makes Pitioss Ruins difficult isn’t the enemies or even the puzzles; it’s the lack of control. Because Final Fantasy 15 is an RPG first and foremost, the jumping mechanics are not particularly refined, and the camera isn’t much better....

Noctis took the lead in Final Fantasy 15 as the chosen one of this universe, destined to bring light back to Eos. Initial reactions to his character were mixed, and things didn’t get much better after players got their hands on the game. Though his relationship with the others in his party is often a point of praise from critics, fans found his personality to be lacking any redeeming qualities, leading many to view the game as a whole in a negative light....

Final Fantasy 16 has received only one trailer thus far, as well as a few lore tidbits and there. This has led to a ton of speculation ranging from story elements and gameplay to specifics like Jill being Shiva’s Dominant. That said, there is another theory that has been debated off and on for the last year, and it is particularly interesting (if contradicting at times): Clive is Ifrit’s dominant....

From a gameplay standpoint, the next entry has a chance to expand on what many players considered one of the best summon systems from the recent Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Final Fantasy 16 was announced recently, and though not much is known yet about the next title’s story, many fans have glommed onto the idea of Eikons and Dominants. It would appear that in the universe of the upcoming FF16 Eikons are powerful deities that are attached to and channeled through individuals known as Dominants....

Featuring the biggest main cast in a Final Fantasy game, coupled with some of the most ambitious world design ever attempted in a JRPG, Final Fantasy VI has got pretty much everything that a lover of classic JRPGs would desire. A big draw of this game is the characters, with Celes being one notable character who manages to make a very strong impression even after being introduced relatively late in the game....

RELATED: 10 Hidden Secrets Many Still Haven’t Found In The Final Fantasy 7 Remake On PS4 A big part of why Final Fantasy VII is such a popular game is due to its wide cast of notable characters, with Tifa, in particular, being a fan-favorite that fans simply can’t get enough of. Keeping this in mind, here are ten rather underground facts about Tifa that most people had absolutely no idea about....

It also helps that she is a powerful fighter in her own right. Although some things about her (and everyone else, by extension) remained the same in the remake, there are some differences that are hard to ignore. As such, here are five ways Tifa Lockhart is still the same character in the latest Final Fantasy remake and five notable differences....

While production on the Final Fantasy 7 remake thrumming, that doesn’t necessarily mean that Square Enix will be offering up a meaty morsel of information regarding what else the remake of the classic PlayStation role-playing game will contain. As it so happens, Nomura said, “We’re trying to figure out when we will put out the next news release.” Unfortunately, the director didn’t offer a hint as to what kind of details will be to come in the next announcement....

After infiltrating Don Corneo’s estate in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, pretending to be potential brides, Aerith and Tifa drop the act and begin to trounce Corneo’s goons. Tifa can handle herself in a fight with nothing but her fists, but Aerith isn’t much of a brawler. Instead, she goes full WWE and knocks one of the guys out with a folding chair. Cosplayer Katerpillerkosplay decided to capture this moment by photographing herself in Aerith’s red gown and wielding a folding chair....

As was seen in the new Final Fantasy 7 Remake trailer, Aerith, Tifa, and Cloud are all dressed similar to how they were in the original game. The big difference is that Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s graphics are improved dramatically, giving a lot more detail to the characters than was ever possible before. So in both versions Cloud wore pigtails, but the new version shows each individual braid and a pair of bows to tie the hair together....

Square Enix finally released the remastered version of Final Fantasy 8 on mobile both for Android and iOS. Now that Final Fantasy 8 was released, the first nine games of the franchise are finally available on Google’s Play Store and the Apple Store. This version of the game has improved graphics but it still needs some updates to have characteristics such as cloud save up and running. RELATED: Crash Bandicoot: On the Run Mobile Game Out Now...

There are a lot of reasons to be excited for Chocobo GP. Its tiered magic system offers a different take on standard kart racing items, one not thoroughly explored since ModNation Racers on PS3. However, one feature that is prominent in fans’ minds is the chance to play as iconic Final Fantasy characters and race on familiar tracks. Aside from drawing on the expected Chocobo side series characters, Chocobo GP’s reveal trailer showed Final Fantasy 5 and 9 characters too....

All of this is of course on top of the overall enhanced battle system, so for those players who found something to be desired in that aspect of Final Fantasy XIII, the ability to ‘master monsters’ may be just the solution. Whether it’s infusing creatures with skills from other collected monsters, button prompt attacks, or merely a glimpse at an enraged Chocobo you’re after, it’s all here in the newest trailer....

Monday Night Football was a great time for the dominant athletic receiving tight end to have his best game as a Seahawk. Graham’s team needed every bit of his immense talent to outscore the visiting Bills in a 31-25 surprise shootout victory. The Seahawks’ No. 1 scoring defense, missing the injured Michael Bennett and Kam Chancellor, was lost and undisciplined against a creative, balanced Buffalo offense for most of the game, until the final gun....

It’s no surprise when such a popular game goes out of stock from physical retailers. However, Final Fantasy 14 even managed to sell out of digital downloads. Reddit user Polydopamine brought this to light when they posted a screenshot listing the PC download of Final Fantasy 14 as out of stock, and also showing that new character creation was unavailable due to server congestion. YouTuber Skill Up later shared the Reddit post on Twitter....
