Comparisons to its immediate predecessor are all-but guaranteed. While action elements have been present since the Japanese Final Fantasy 3, Final Fantasy 15 was the first title in the series to bring on a full action-RPG status from the realm of spin-offs. It suffered a lot of development trouble, and came out with obvious cuts in its latter half. One of the most intact parts of the final game is the relationship between protagonist Noctis Lucis Caelum and his three best friends....

In Final Fantasy 7 Remake, as players make their way through the Sector 7 Slums, they can find a small area that’s home to a fair few feline friends. While the cats in FF7R don’t seem to like Cloud’s company much, if players stay put, they’ll eventually walk around the mercenary and stay around him for longer than they would while he’s moving. This little area in Sector 7 isn’t just favored by the in-game cats, but apparently real ones, too....

A common trope in game sequels is the developer finding a way or a reason as to why the characters are suddenly less powerful again. Games like the Metroid series do so by having Samus stripped of her gear at the onset of the game. Another Square Enix title has suffered from this problem in the past, as many fans were disappointed with Sora’s powers disappearing before the beginning of Kingdom Hearts 3....

Few critics have found fault with the Remake’s core gameplay. The revamped Final Fantasy 7 battle system is a particularly laudable achievement, suiting the action-oriented tastes of modern audiences while preserving the ATB and materia-based system that made the original so compelling. The title also features a healthy amount of fresh or improved mini-games and some environmental puzzles to add variance between bouts. RELATED: 10 Pro Tips For The Final Fantasy 7 Remake...

For some readers, it may be hard to imagine that there are even 4,000 different types of collectables from the franchise, but Final Fantasy has been around for a long time. There are 15 (going on 16) main entries in the series, and several more games if players count spin-offs and other off-shoots. The first game released in 1987, meaning it has been 34 years since the franchise first came into existence....

Roger Varian feels the All-Weather Championships at Lingfield on Good Friday is an “attractive option” for Ennaadd after he won so well at Kempton on Wednesday evening. The unexposed three-year-old caught the eye at the Sunbury circuit with a convincing two-and-three-quarter-length defeat of You’re Fired in the Listed Hyde Stakes over a mile. Ennaadd has now automatically earned a starting berth in the Sunbets All-Weather Mile Championships Conditions Stakes on Finals Day....

In the past, economic performance often varied by region based on the type, strength and variety of industries as well as educational level. It was no mystery why California’s Silicon Valley prospered while the Midwest’s Rust Belt contracted or isolated regions in the South stagnated. The coronavirus pandemic appears to have injected a new element into the mix: class. Interestingly, differences produced by class aren’t rigidly defined by region....

Around 900 bills will be debated during the 2022 New Hampshire Legislative Session. Among these bills are some that have already been vetoed by Governor Chris Sununu. Lawmakers are hoping that these bills will receive a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and Senate, thus overriding Sununu’s initial veto. The bill best poised to reach this threshold is one that allows nonprofit medical marijuana treatment centers to organize as for-profit companies....

Data Centers in Final Fantasy 14 are collections of servers, called Worlds, which are collated together based on region. Until its most recent Patch 6.18, players could visit other Worlds in their Data Center only. With the new system, Final Fantasy 14 players can visit other Data Centers in their continental region.

With this being the case, the gaming world has collectively shifted into full hype mode for what seems to be an imminent announcement from Rockstar Games about another Red Dead release, and Square Enix’s developers for Final Fantasy 15 have decided to join in on the anticipation for the title as well. As it happens, the studio behind the forthcoming role-playing game have put out a Final Fantasy 15 poster that parodies Red Dead 3’s teaser image that was released....

Despite the facelift, most of the story remains the same except for major changes towards the conclusion. Players also get a clearer picture of Avalanche, the group Cloud works with for the duration of the campaign. While they remain recognizable from the original 1997 masterpiece, several differences do show up. Players will likely learn more as future entries in the remake release. 10 Different: Bigger In the original Final Fantasy VII Avalanche appears to be no larger than Cloud’s immediate company....

Ambitiously and controversially, Final Fantasy 7 Remake is not just a “remake” in the standard sense, but more so a reimagining or a retelling. There being no requirement to fully adhere to the source material, Square Enix received more wiggle room in modifying certain aspects of the narrative for modern audiences, better storytelling purposes, or whatever other reasons it desired. One of the original game’s greatest shortcomings was the lack of development of Avalanche, the terrorist group Cloud joins that is trying to dismantle Shinra, the ruthless Mako-seizing company that controls Midgar....

The new chapters revolve around Yuffie, who is being introduced in FF7 Remake Intergrade, but the trailer ended with the appearance of enemies from some of the spinoff titles that were part of the FF7 compilation.

Created using the Unity engine, the revamped games include Final Fantasy 1 through 6 and feature completely remastered versions of the original character pixel art. There were a few other changes, some of which fans found odd or questionable. For example, voices were added to the famous opera scene in Final Fantasy 6 Pixel Remaster and the opening credit sequence was removed. More generally, some of the Easter eggs are no longer in the games nor are the bonus dungeons that were introduced in the Game Boy Advance ports....

On the sidelines, Lloyd will wear a crisp, tucked-in shirt with no tie under a blue blazer. He is known around the West Coast for sitting in unorthodox positions, as he did Saturday in the Final Four when the 42-year-old assistant had his feet up on the raised court at University of Phoenix Stadium as he took in the action. MORE: Way-too-early 2017-18 SN Top 25 “Unorthodox” is also probably the best way to describe the way Gonzaga has built its program over the past two decades, to the point it will play for the national championship Monday against traditional power North Carolina (9:20 p....
