[PS2] Final Fantasy XII review

November 24th, 2009

Final Fantasy XII is a PS2 exclusive game created by Square-Enix in 2005, to hit shelves in 2006. The final fantasy franchise was its busiest it had been for a long time around this period with many games released very close to one another (Namely 12, 4 Advance, Advent Children, and Dirge of Cerberus) however this game was by far the biggest game title to be released.

Ok so I have finally made my RPG far enough for it to be a half decent demo game. Of course this is a very early production version so there will be glitches and problems but not enough for it to break completely (He says hopefully).
Basic gameplay is similar to Final Fantasy.
If you need help or a walkthrough or want to give me feedback contact me through the forums or just comment on this post.

[Retro] Final Fantasy 8 Review

September 14th, 2009

Well as a start of our Final Fantasy review special, I am starting off with the first major romance role Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy 8-released back in 1999 here in the UK. This game was another leap forward in Squaresoft’s reign as JRPG gods, this game received equal or better reviews to its predecessor Final Fantasy 7. Many people didn’t become friends with this Final Fantasy cause the story wasn’t their cup of tea but I gave it a chance and it’s in my top 5 Final Fantasy’s of all time and that is saying alot cause i’m picky. Now on with the review for this Final Fantasy.

FF8 was the first Final Fantasy to span across 4 CD discs, so you can understand the sense of scale this game brought to the table comparing to the masterpiece FF7 with 3 discs. The story is quite different to all the previous ones yet it contains elements of past games to mesh in some odd story that works and is also good. You play as Squall Lionheart who is a student at this Balamb Garden; this ‘Garden’ is a place where people are educated in the fighting department as well as other areas of learning. At this point the Galbadian army have invaded a small town called Dollet, they are in ask of your aid and you are sent their with your team mates Zell, Seifer and Quistis your instructor (Zell and Quistis are then full party characters for your team later on).

[PSP] Final Fantasy Dissidia In Depth Review

September 13th, 2009

You may all need a break from reading my PSN edition review of Final Fantasy 7, but I promise you this will be just as large if not larger, well that wasn’t a nice promise was it? Anyways lets get down to the facts, released on September 9th here in the UK Final Fantasy Dissidia hit the store shelves and this game has been nudging my mind ever since I heard of it. I didn’t know whether to buy it or not, but in the end I did and it ends up being one of the best dam games I’ve played on any system. So without further ado on with the review of epic-ness……there is a lot to cover…but can you keep up? (Please note all screenshots were camera taken of my PSP screen, only decent size images of menus tended to be Japanese…if I ever cross any I will update)

The first thing I will say before I discuss the concept behind this game and everything else, it had one very interesting feature. Upon the start menu you have the function to do a Data Install, now if you are all Xbox 360 or PS3 players then you should know what this means. Basically you can install small amounts of data to make the load times much quicker and to be honest you can notice it. I played it with and without install times, without install it took a while to load it, with maximum data install it makes it a good 5 -7 seconds faster and menus access quicker. The only problem I can come across with is that it takes a very long time to install the game and it prompts you with a chocobo and the chocobo music etc, it is a recommended thing to use before playing.

[PSN] Final Fantasy 7 PSN Review

September 7th, 2009

Well its been some time since my last review… like over two weeks and that is saying something as I used to write content frequently. But let me cut back to the chase, I have chosen a game to review that will give me the bang I need to come back to reviewing.
FF7 Jap

We all know this JRPG (If you love the franchise that is) it is Final Fantasy, and not just any Final Fantasy. This was the first Final Fantasy to become 3D. Dating back to 1997 here in European shores or earlier maybe 1995 for the lucky people that live in Japan. This game hit shelves across the globe and then soon within months became a phenomenon. Selling millions worldwide very rapidly it became the biggest in Square Soft now Square-Enix’s beloved JRPG Franchise.
