DualShockers writes, "It’s that time of week again! We’ve recorded a rather intense and controversal DualCast for you this week – mostly because it revolves around Final Fantasy. We get things started on the sane side with our favorite Final Fantasy games, but the fun doesn’t end there. We get down and dirty when we move onto the topic of Final Fantasy XIII. From there we move to the future of the Final Fantasy franchise and discuss what we would like to see in general, as well as in Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Square-Enix’s upcoming MMO, Final Fantasy XIV.
Also this week we’re offering you a chance to win a physical copy of Persona 3 Portable for the PSP (no PSP Go, unfortunately). What do you have to do? It’s easy – listen to this week’s DualCast..."
A new SEGA / Atlus Switch eShop sale started up this week, which includes the lowest prices ever for various games including Persona 3 Portable, Sonic Origins Plus, and more.
Looking back at Final Fantasy 6 on its 30th anniversary provides a snapshot of one of gaming's most important franchises at a pivotal turning point.
Gary Green said: It’s interesting to revisit the roots of your favorite franchises to see first-hand what’s changed and what’s stuck around all these years, though perhaps ‘visit’ would be more accurate than ‘revisit’ since apparently, Europe wasn’t worthy of the original six Final Fantasy games the first time around. By the time we started getting ports of these iconic games, we’d already been through the PSOne JRPG golden age. So we’d already seen the best of what Final Fantasy had to offer, while these predecessors looked outdated, unrefined, and (dare I say it) ugly. We aren’t bitter about the delayed releases, honest…
I'd love to but square said fk you to the ps fanbase that wanted these physically. Meanwhile switch got a physical release.
lol pretty hilarious podcast.
Final Fantasy... we could talk about it for days. And we did, enjoy the 15 day podcast. Implant an IV before you press play.
This podcast has some interesting points.
Final Fantasy X ftw! FF has brought some memorable moments throughout my years of gaming. FFXIII isn't my favorite of the franchise, but it isn't as horrendous as people make it seem. Nice podcast.
I think out of all RPGs, the Final Fantasy franchise has the most passionate fans, which, of course, leads to some pretty intense conversations about the subject.
