DragonQuest IX Trailer Brings Hope To World

This is the DragonQuest IX trailer. It is a thing of beauty.
Seriously, I am so looking forward to this. I’m amazed at how good it looks; maybe not as rich as the current Champion of RPGs, DragonQuest VIII, but nothing to sneeze at.
I’m very happy to see the return of old spell-casting sound […]

All Life Begins With Nu Chrono Trigger Trailers

I think my flu is coming back for a second round.
How is this possible.
Is this not illegal?
Here’s a new trailer for Chrono Trigger DS. The thing that sets this particular trailer apart for me is that it finally gives the game a rating: E10+. Uh, maybe this rating came into existence ages ago. […]

Chrono Trigger DS Gameplay: Can You Tell the Difference?

Chrono Trigger DS 'Lucca' gameplay
There is a bit of a change, here. Look hard, my apprentice.
Apparently, Chrono Trigger DS’ text has been altered slightly. The font and spacing is definitely different, which is not surprising because otherwise we’d have one letter taking up the entire text box (blessed hyperbole). But it also looks as […]

Oh God, NOOOO: Chrono Trigger DS Delayed?

My friends, today I has a sad. The release of Chrono Trigger DS may have been pushed back. Maybe it’ll be pushed back forever.
Okay, it’s not that bad. It’ll just feel like forever.
There’s no official word on a delay, but Amazon is listing the title’s arrival for December 30th 2008.
At the risk of getting angry […]

Should We F the Moon or Just Gently Caress It?

My fellow blogger and trusted bank-robbing assistant Bob Mackey recently vented his frustrations about Final Fantasy IV DS’ twisted idea of a challenge.
It’s an interesting read because I agree with it. As far as challenge goes, I think that Final Fantasy IV DS is mostly balanced. Mostly. Enemies are craftier, but you have a […]

Final Fantasy Dissidia: We Have Video!

Main screen turn on:

I have to hand it to Square-Enix: my interest in this game has crawled from an utter flatline to oh, let’s say, 50 beats per minute. In other words my excitement can be equated to an old woman taking her last, shuddering breaths.
Hey, we’re getting better. Reach up for the […]

Chrono Trigger DS at the End of November?

Grab your time-traveling hats! (You do have a time-traveling hat, right?) WorthPlaying has pegged the release of Chrono Trigger DS release for November 25th, 2008.
There’s no official yea or nay from Square-Enix at this point, but the height of the holiday season probably isn’t a far-off guess.
Great! By the time I’ve finished grinding for the […]

Final Fantasy IV DS: Inner Thoughts

I love Final Fantasy IV and I’ve already made plans to marry Final Fantasy IV DS, but let’s face it: the game was melodramatic a thousand years ago and it has not grown sunnier with age.
In fact, the new translation really amps up the angst factor. The droning voice acting has also allowed me the […]

New Screenshots of Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days

Sometimes I think the Kingdom Hearts franchise exists only for Square-Enix to have an excuse to make up silly subtitles. Or to play hell on us poor bloggers.
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days takes place a year after Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Tom East from The Official Nintendo Magazine posted a small summation of what’s known […]
