Look! Look in the background of the newly releasedFinal Fantasy XVgameplay trailer that Square Enix released this morning. The foreground of these shots looks like some kind of fantasy world, but the background looks a lot like my hometown, Tokyo. Shinjuku, specifically. Maybe it’s not Shinjuku, but there’s definitely a dual city thing going on. It’s like they’re in the future where a new world has been built on top of an existing one....

No No Power Rangers Square-Enix detailed some of their upcoming content forFinal Fantasy XVduring an Active Time Report live stream and, along with some of usual tidbits such as release dates, something really stuck out to me.

Speaking during a conference call to investors, CEO Daniel DeMatteo revealed the company’s forecast of 33....

‘We will lower the health, armor, and shield stat bonuses that enemies receive in the higher levels of Mayhem’ With a game as massive asBorderlands 3, there’s going to be a lot of opinions on how the game could change for the better.

A stark departure from how things are done now The video game pre-ordering process just got a little tougher in Germany. In recent years, retailers would immediately list newly-announced games, and customers would pre-order them without knowing when they’d actually release. It’s mostly an innocuous system, as the customers don’t get charged until the game ships. Still, Germany is cracking down on this status quo. The Higher Regional Court of Munich has recently ruled that retailers can’t list products for sale with generic phrases like “coming soon” or “this item has not yet released....

I told you inmy preview ofFinal Fantasy XIII-2that there’s some strange stuff going on there. These newly released screenshots prove that. Check out the monster wearing formal wear — a bow tie. Or the robot in the wizard’s hat. Is that Vivi’s hat? You can dress up your beasts in this game with lots of wierd stuff called Adornments.
