News What if Final Fantasy VII Got an Open World Sequel with Randomised Dungeons and a Karma System?
It'd look like this
We've seen Final Fantasy VII fan projects before, but probably nothing quite as ambitious as this.

News Final Fantasy Type-0 HD's New Gameplay Focuses on Big Bad Eidolons
Here comes the cavalry
Eidolons, or, for the uneducated, big summoned monsters, have been a staple of Final Fantasy for an age now, and they're back for Final Fantasy Type-0 HD.

News Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Will Snog Your PS4 in May
Limited edition also revealed
We quite liked Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD when it launched on PlayStation 3 and Vita last year. The PS2 classics have aged surprisingly well, with the first game's often emotional story still managing to hold its own. If your hunger for teen romance and rather epic boss battles hasn't yet been sated, however, you'll be...

News Not Quite Sure What Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Is? This New Trailer Will Help You Out
Take notes, class
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is a bit of a weird one. It's certainly not a traditional Final Fantasy game; it's got a rather dark tone, and it features action based combat. As such, you may be wondering just what the title's all about, but thankfully, publisher Square Enix has the answers. The trailer that we've embedded, which spans...
News Delve into Dungeons and Watch Wildlife with New Final Fantasy XV Gameplay

It's a bit unnerving how we're being flooded with Final Fantasy XV gameplay these days.

News Dragon Quest Heroes' Japanese Ad Campaign Is Incredibly Satisfying
Pop, don't stop
It's been quite some time since we saw an advertising campaign as good as Dragon Quest Heroes' Japanese attempt. At Shinjuku's metro station, Square Enix has plastered a wall with bubble wrap, and asks that the public band together and pop it. This isn't your normal safety material, however, as each individual bubble sports a...

News Deadman's Cross Is a Free-to-Play Zombie Card Game That's Out Today on Vita
You'll need braaaaains
A title that sounds like one of weirdest concoctions that we've stumbled upon in quite a while, Deadman's Cross is shuffling onto the North American PlayStation Store later today. A strange mix of first-person shooting and card collecting, we suppose it's a bit like Pokémon, only instead of battling and catching cool little...

News This Is What Dissidia Final Fantasy Would Look Like on PS4
Cloudy with a chance of Sephiroth
Remember the Dissidia Final Fantasy games back on the PSP? Featuring heroes and villains of the Final Fantasy universe, many fans demanded a home console sequel or even ports of the brawlers, but perhaps strangely, publisher Square Enix appeared to lose much of its interest in the series. Until now, that is. A...

News Just Cause 3's First Trailer Is Far More Serious Than It Needs to Be
Burnin' for you
We're not entirely sure how we feel about moody cinematic trailers. On the one hand, they can work well, providing a sense of atmosphere, while on the other, they can end up seeming far too serious for the actual source material. And let's face it: Just Cause has never been a serious franchise. Cardboard characters and terrible...
News You Can Drool Over Final Fantasy XV's Demo Next Week
Road trip
Be honest: are you tempted to pre-order Final Fantasy Type-0 HD purely to get your hands on Final Fantasy XV's playable demo?

News Dragon Quest Heroes Looks Like the Most Colourful Warriors Game Yet
Pop pop pop
Warriors games can sometimes look a bit bland. Perhaps it's to be expected when you've got hundreds of soldiers running about on screen, but art style and great use of colour was partly why we adored One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2, and it looks like we'll be able to say the same of Dragon Quest Heroes. The screenshots that we've embedded...

News Dragon Quest Heroes Sounds Like It'll Run Best on PS4
Next-gen nitpicking
To say that we're desperate for Dragon Quest Heroes to make it overseas is an understatement. The Warriors and Dragon Quest mash-up looks rather striking, and it features a bunch of old school characters to get your nostalgia flowing, too. As with many titles slated for release this year, the hack and slasher is slicing onto...

Weirdness Final Fantasy VII Has Never Looked So Real
First class
We love a good modded console here at Push Square, and this particular PSone from modder MakoMod has certainly caught our eye. Turning the top of his machine into Final Fantasy VII's Midgar -- the daunting industrial city where the game begins -- it's the detail that really sets this creation apart. From the Shinra reactors to the slums...

News Final Fantasy XIV's Fantastic PS4 Theme Is Now Available and Free in Europe
A theme reborn
The PlayStation 4 doesn't have a great selection of themes. The official Destiny one isn't too bad, and there are a couple of other additions to the PlayStation Store that are nice enough, but there's nothing available that we'd consider essential downloads. That's changed today, however, as the fantastic Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm...
