As part of the madness that has been the 2016 Tokyo Games Show, Square Enix has dropped a new trailer for Final Fantasy Xii: The Zodiac Age. The remastered port was originally announced just prior to start of E3 2016.
At less than two minutes in length, the Tgs trailer for Final Fantasy Xii: The Zodiac Age isn’t interested in telling a story. Instead, the new trailer is all about showcasing the remastered visuals. The world of Ivalice has been given a fresh coat of paint, while Vaan and company have never looked better. It may not be as visually splendid as Final Fantasy Xv, but for a PlayStation 2 game, this looks pretty damn good.
For the uninformed, Final Fantasy Xii is the child of Square legends Hiroshi Minagawa and Hiroyuki Ito, who took over the project after the original director, Yasumi Matsuno, dropped out. Players take the reigns of a six-person party,...

Although undoubtedly a collaborative process, a unique fusion of programming, design and music, a strong visual style is vital to the success of any videogame - and the RPG genre in particular. After all, it's an RPG's job to transport us to other realms, whether they're Tolkien-inspired and otherworldly or set on a far-away, distant planet.
It's difficult to imagine, for example, the Dragon Quest series without the artwork of Akira Toriyama behind it - all vivid colours and sharp lines - or the Final Fantasy franchise without the character designs of the legendary Yoshitaka Amano. RPGs create new landscapes and engaging characters, and a distinctive art style is a vital element in their ability to captivate us.

(Author’S Note: In the interest of condensing what is an extensive library of games releases, this article focuses on ‘main series’ titles: let’s be frank, they’re the ones we most care about and – honestly – this’ll end up being a ten-part feature if we cover every game which ever had ‘Final Fantasy’ in its title. Sincerest apologies to the half a dozen people who view this as a travesty.)
And so, much like the Final Fantasy games we today honour, we reach ‘Disc 2′ of our epic story.
For those of you who either missed or have gone to great lengths to repress Part 1 of our history lecture, I will try to recap (rolls 8-bit quest Bgm to scrolling text). Our story told of a small-time games developer called Square and how, teetering recklessly close to the pit of bankruptcy, their brave captain – one Hironobu Sakaguchi – helmed the...

Nintendo didn't get very specific with prices or release windows when they showed off their new 3Ds at E3. Attitudes appear to be shifting, however, as the company has planned an announcement date in September to unveil pricing and release info for Japan.
Nintendo will lay it all out on September 29, company spokesperson Mr. Yasushi Hiroshi Minagawa told Bloomberg Japan. The report speculates that the new handheld device will ship during the current fiscal year, which isn't all that much of a shocker, but until Nintendo itself gets specific, nothing is going to be set in stone.
March 2011 has been floated out there before as a potential launch deadline. Pricing guesses, meanwhile, have been more abstract.
Given the large number of third-party developers that Nintendo has working on games right now, part of getting the launch done right will have to involve making sure enough A-list games are ready to...
