Following its State of Play presentation from last week, Ghost of Tsushima has received new information about its structure, gameplay, combat system, open world, and a lot more. However, the development studio behind the game has also taken some time to talk about small details that may not have been noticeable at first. One interesting detail deals with the player’s weapon after they are done fighting with an enemy. Specifically, the character will perform the act of chiburi by flicking the sword swiftly in order to get rid of the blood that is on it....
Chocobos are a staple of the Final Fantasy series and have featured in every game since their first appearance in Final Fantasy II. They can help players to traverse difficult terrain, take part in races, and even help out in battle. They really are incredible creatures. As amazing as Chocobos are though, there are times when their abilities just don’t add up. When it comes to Chocobo lore, the series contradicts itself on numerous occasions....
Today, the video game publisher and developer Square Enix confirmed the release date of Final Fantasy 15’s Episode Prompto DLC for later this month on June 27, 2017. The news regarding the expansion came about in a rather unorthodox way, as the launch time for the add-on popped up during an E3 2017 trailer for FF15 Universe – that is, a sub-franchise that collects different games, DLC, films, and more related to the title – which also detailed a lot more to come to the RPG sequel as “the universe keeps expanding....

Despite a number of development stumbles in the nearly four years since being announced, Square Enix looks to stay committed to one day releasing the long-awaited Final Fantasy 7 Remake. While the reimaging of 1997’s Final Fantasy 7 will be a multi-part series, there is a new addition to the development team that hopefully will steer the game in the right direction as full-scale production on the project begins.

Understanding how the materia system in Final Fantasy VII Remake works is a must for those hoping to tackle the game’s hardest content. Anybody who played the original game should already have a fairly good idea how it all works, although the remake does change things up a little and also introduces some brand new materia as well. 5 What Is Materia? For those who aren’t already familiar with materia, they’re basically small orbs of crystallized Mako which grant their users unique powers and abilities....
While not everybody was thrilled with how frequently Sephiroth appeared throughout Final Fantasy VII Remake, it’s difficult to argue that he doesn’t make for a great final boss. The one-winged angel has some of the most devastating attacks in the game (including one or two from the original release) and will definitely put your skills and understanding of the game’s combat to the test. It’s a difficult fight, especially because of how long it goes on for....
When Battlefield Hardline was announced last year, Battlefield fans were worried that the cops versus robbers shooter would suffer from the same problems that Battlefield 4 did at launch. BF4’s problems were so bad that its developer, DICE, was still dealing with major server side issues several months after it was released and shareholders of the game’s publisher, Electronic Arts, hit the company with a lawsuit. In the run up to Battlefield Hardline’s release, Visceral Games (the developer) and EA promised players that it wouldn’t repeat Battlefield 4’s mistakes....

What would the Marvel Cinematic Universe be without its share of romance? Lesser, that’s for sure. While the cinematic universe hasn’t always been so great at telling love stories (probably because it hasn’t always been so great about prioritizing fully-fleshed-out female characters… not that you can’t have a love story between two men #GiveCaptainAmericaABoyfriend), it has traded in mostly half-hearted “obligatory” romances for meatier stuff in recent flicks. read more: How Endgame Prioritizes Emotional Strength Over Physical Power...
