Rindo & Fret Play The Reapers' Game Things kick off in Shibuya, the same setting as the first game, but this time we follow a new protagonist named Rindo (VA: Paul Castro Jr.) who finds himself caught up in the "Reapers' Game" and summoned to another dimension of Shibuya: the Undergound. Rindo is a phone-savvy high-school kid that won't go out of his way to talk to other people, but won't turn them away either. In the "Reapers' Game", he's been appointed the leader of the Wicked Twisters team. Rindo is caught in a battle transpiring in Shibuya's

We all have our Square Enix origin stories. Whether it was Final Fantasy VII Remake and Kingdom Hearts III, or Rad Racer and the original Final Fantasy, or perhaps — as I suspect is the case for a great many of us — somewhere in-between, there was a period of Square history that drew us in and never let us out. The game that changed my world was Final Fantasy VII. Glued as I was to that very first Sony PlayStation, I quickly gobbled up every JRPG I could find. SaGa Frontier was one of them. Released alongside a river of noteworthy RPGs and a veritable ocean's worth of exceptional video games, the 1998 cult classic was destined to find only modest success on Western shores. It was a strange game, as all prior SaGas were; those of us who played and enjoyed it had a somewhat difficult time explaining it even to fans of notable odd ducks such as Vagrant Story and Xenogears. It wasn't about destined heroes, but rather, a loosely affiliated ensemble cast each with a story of their own. It wasn't about leveling to 99, but organically mastering one's inner talents. And it wasn't a game about

Hot on the heels of the original game's year anniversary, Square Enix has new details on the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade release for PlayStation 5. First and foremost, the brand-new Yuffie-centric episode now has a name: FF7R Episode INTERmission. New details break down Yuffie’s specific battle style in combat as she infiltrates the Shinra Corporation to steal a powerful materia and restore glory to her homeland - she shines in both close and long-range combat. As a member of Wutai's elite corps of ninja operatives, her Unique Ability allows her to throw her massive throwing star at enemies. During this, she is able to attack with long-range ninjutsu that can be augmented with her Elemental Ninjutsu ability, which can change its affinity to fire, ice, lightning or wind. Another one of Yuffie’s abilities, “Banishment,” unleashes an attack that does more damage based on how much ATB was spent before it. Similar to her Unique Ability, its elemental affinity can be changed with Elemental Ninjutsu. Yuffie can also use “Windstorm,” which creates a damaging gust of wind that damages nearby enemies and launches them towards her. Alongside Yuffie and Sonon, additional characters were introduced for FF7R Episode INTERmission, including Zhijie, a

The older you get, the more frequently your friends will show you pop culture works from decades past and ask you if you "feel old yet." The world is showing those friends of yours grim little reminders that time is the villain who beats us all. Cast photos from cult classic TV shows populated by twenty-somethings, labeled side-by-side with the actors and actresses now in their late fifties. Best-selling rock albums featuring songs from the cringe fringes of our youth, with lyrics our adult selves cannot stand. Huge metal ball necklaces and glow-in-the-dark Tripp pants. None of it ever fazes me. Time, as best we can tell, is a linear thing. "Of course Nathan Fillion is old now," I tell my friends to their astonishment. "But no, I don't feel any differently." Balan Wonderworld fazed me. It wants to be a love letter to the gaming industry of two decades past, back when janky, early-3D platformers were a dime-a-dozen and your console's success was defined in no small part by the popularity of the mascot characters therein. Crash Bandicoot, Banjo-Kazooie, Spyro the Dragon; kids banged on department store glass displays because they wanted to be those characters. That's the nostalgia trip
