Review Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto (PS4)
Bullet hell
Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto is the second downloadable character episode for Square Enix's action role-playing release.

News Daughter's Life Is Strange Soundtrack Seems to Be on Point
Get your first taste now
British folk rock band Daughter has composed Life Is Strange: Before the Storm’s soundtrack – and if you haven’t heard of them, just ask your hipster mate. The soundtrack obviously played a huge part in the success of the original series, so we doubt Daughter’s selection for the project was taken lightly. The band...

Performance is spot on, too
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age has to be one of the best looking role-playing titles on the PlayStation 4.

Shaka brah
A big embargo has lifted on Life Is Strange: Before the Storm, meaning that you now need to make a moral decision of your own: do you watch it and potentially spoil some surprises or treat yourself ahead of the title’s 31st August launch?

News Sony Japan Reminds People That Dragon Quest XI Isn't Just Portable on 3DS
Remote play footage shown
Dragon Quest XI is in a bit of a strange situation. The game launches in Japan tomorrow on both the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo 3DS, but Sony has obviously been marketing the title as if the handheld version doesn't exist. This is expected of course -- the PlayStation maker isn't going to go and advertise a rival's...
News Lost Sphear Looks Like Another Nicely Crafted JRPG in 15 Mins of PS4 Gameplay
Lost and found
I Am Setsuna may not have set the genre alight when it launched last year, but its decision to stick with a very traditional Japanese role-playing style made it an enjoyable reminder that the formula still works. Developer Tokyo RPG Factory is now hard at work on its next project, Lost Sphear, and Polygon's captured 15 minutes of...

News Final Fantasy XV's Multiplayer Expansion Detailed, and It Sounds Ambitious
Beta begins next month
Final Fantasy XV is a mental game -- we've know that for a while.

News They're Using Awful Final Fantasy XIII Characters to Sell Cars Now
Snow joke
A number of Final Fantasy characters have tried their hand at advertising in the past. Most notably, Final Fantasy XIII's Lightning, in all of her immensely boring glory, was once brought in to help sell designer handbags. And now, equally dreadful Final Fantasy XIII hero Snow is busy shifting Nissan cars in a brand new clip. It's all a...

There's a Price to pay
This behind-the-scenes Life Is Strange: Before the Storm trailer seems tailor-made to reassure fans that voice actor Ashly Burch is involved.

News Dragon Quest XI's Gorgeous Opening Cinematic Sets Up a Charming Story
A hero reborn
We've heard the 'chosen hero' storyline a million times before, but Dragon Quest's seemingly infinite charm allows it to embrace cliches quite unlike any other series.

Poll Are You Enjoying Final Fantasy XII on PS4?
An old flame
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age has been out for a few days now on PlayStation 4, so we thought we'd give you lot an opportunity to share your thoughts.

News Final Fantasy XV's Free Power Ranger Suits Make You Invincible for 30 Minutes
They're launching this month
Final Fantasy XV is a really weird game, isn't it?

Next on the agenda is a set of suits that...
Guide Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age Jobs - The Job System and Choosing Jobs
Deciding the best jobs for your party
All right, let's not beat around the bush: Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is a huge, complex game that doesn't really give you much guidance - especially when it comes to the Job system. As such, we've put together this hopefully handy guide that should help you build an effective team of adventurers. Get...
Review Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age (PS4)
Absolute bangaa
Final Fantasy XII has aged very well indeed – and that's not something you can say about a lot of role-playing games that launched over ten years ago.

News Square Enix Is Livestreaming Moogle Rabbits to Promote Final Fantasy XII on PS4
Just so you know
We're not really sure where to start with this one. Square Enix has told us that it's doing a livestream leading up to the launch of Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, but it's certainly not your usual gameplay teaser stream or anything like that. Instead, the publisher will be presenting viewers with live rabbits cosplaying as...
News PR Company Confirms Dragon Quest XI Is Heading West on PS4
Oh, cool
It comes as no surprise, but it's still newsworthy: Dragon Quest XI is going to be released here in the West.

Said company told Dutch site Gamer.nl that it's handling the role-playing game's Western PR, which obviously means that the...
Hands On Final Fantasy XII on PS4 Is a Strong Reminder of How Great the Series Used to Be
Sky high
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is an eye-opener. Playing it 11 years after its original PlayStation 2 release has made us realise just how ahead of its time the game was back in 2006. Unlike Final Fantasy X - which also received the remaster treatment not too long ago on PlayStation 3, Vita, and PlayStation 4 - XII, for the most...

News PlayStation VR Fishing Game Monster of the Deep Looks Like the Catch of the Day
Reel nice
Monster of the Deep was rightfully the butt of many an E3 2017 joke, but the Final Fantasy XV-based fishing spin-off actually looks like good fun in this gameplay demo.

News Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto Looks a Lot More Creative than Episode Gladio
It's got jet skis
Wow, Final Fantasy XV: Episode Prompto looks... different. Incorporating third person shooting with, er, jet skis, this additional tale seems to be aiming for some gameplay variation.

Yes, it's a third-person shooter
What the—? Well, we suppose nothing about Final Fantasy XV should surprise us anymore, but even after earlier reports suggested as much, this first trailer for Episode Prompto has caught us by surprise. It looks like the kind of corridor third-person shooter that you’d find on the PlayStation 2 – but in the...
News Dragon Quest XI PS4 Gets a Funny Japanese Ad, as You'd Expect
What are we even watching
Sony sure likes its dumb Japanese adverts doesn't it? We've seen some corkers over the years - the Destiny one is still our favourite - but this new addition for Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Departed Time is no slouch either. Featuring singer and actor Takayuki Yamada, he loads up the game only to be blown away...

Taking the easy way trout
It seems Square Enix just can't get enough of developing games featuring those good and wholesome boys from Final Fantasy XV.

The role-playing-fighter hybrid was finally announced for a PlayStation 4 release last week, and this is the first time that we've seen the title in action on Sony's console.

News Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age's Story Trailer Will Bring Back Memories
A world at war
Rightly or wrongly, Final Fantasy XII gets a lot of stick for its story. Rather than being very character driven, as is the case with many Final Fantasy games that came before it, XII went for a political plot that was wide in scope. It still had its memorable characters, of course, but a lot of fans weren't so keen to latch onto...

It's finally happening, people: Dissidia Final Fantasy NT has been confirmed for a PlayStation 4 release in 2018.

Review Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (PS4 / PS2)
The last hope?
You know you’re playing an older game when you’re forced to use the shoulder buttons to turn the camera. There’s no option to change it to the right analogue stick, either, presumably because that would have meant extra work. It’s a sure-fire sign that Star Ocean: Till the End of Time is just an emulated upscale of the...
