Mega64 do it again
The man who made Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi, is easily one of the gaming industry's most important figures.

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. Bringing them to the battlefield allows you to take control of the huge beasts in order to mow down your foes. The gameplay that we've embedded, which is a part of the...
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...

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

News Rise of the Tomb Raider Could Still Plot Lara Croft's Revival on PS4
"We'll come back to that at a later date"
There's a real danger that Rise of the Tomb Raider could end up being defined by behind-the-scenes business decisions, and Game Informer's latest cover story is evidence of that. While the publication's coverage includes plenty of details about Lara Croft's forthcoming foray, most people want to know one...
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.

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 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...
Talking Point Has Persona 5's Gameplay Trailer Dulled Your Excitement for Final Fantasy XV?
Persona-lly speaking
Some wouldn't like to admit it, but it's not often that a Japanese role-playing game has the weight to make waves in the current climate of our industry – at least, not here in the West. But of course, like everything in life, when something good is destined to come along, it all comes at once. After almost a decade of as...
News There's a Final Fantasy XV Flavoured Treat in This Type-0 HD Trailer
Road trip
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD wouldn't be such a tantalising proposition without its promised Final Fantasy XV demo, and Square Enix clearly thought that it needed to throw in some fresh footage from the forthcoming sequel in order to get people to watch this trailer.

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...
News Square Enix Wants Dragon Quest Heroes to Venture onto Western PS4s and PS3s

Review Life Is Strange: Episode 1 - Chrysalis (PlayStation 4)
Go f*** yourselfie
Life Is Strange: Episode 1 - Chrysalis marks the latest release from French developer DONTNOD, the studio behind Remember Me. Being an episodic game, it marks a change of pace for the firm, and allows it to join the ranks of Telltale Games, who has essentially defined the model in its current guise. Series like this are extremely...
News Square Enix's Secret PS4 Exclusive Ain't What You Were Hoping For
Cave in
Square Enix's troll train chugs along another day, as the company has revealed that Spelunker Z is the PlayStation 4 exclusive that it teased earlier in the week.

Round Up Life Is Strange PS4, PS3 Reviews Aren't Out of the Ordinary
Mad Max
Given the success of The Walking Dead, it's a surprise that other developers are only just jumping on the episodic bandwagon. With the output of developer Telltale Games starting to get a teensy bit predictable, though, we're really curious to see French developer DONTNOD's take on the format. We've got a reviewer whizzing through episode...

News The Time Has Come to Compare Final Fantasy Type-0 HD on PS4 to the Original PSP Version
You knew this was coming
Where would we be without graphics comparison videos? Er, we're not entirely sure, but we certainly wouldn't be comparing the visual prowess of an upcoming PlayStation 4 release to the original PSP version. Hitting Sony's newest console this year, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD unsurprisingly looks much better than it did on the...
News Life Is Strange Almost Looked a Lot More Masculine
Publishers will be publishers
Sigh. Considering the current climate, we did consider whether we should post this story in the first place – but then we figured that we'd be behaving just as badly as the publishers in question. During its recent developer diary, DONTNOD has hinted that some companies wanted it to make Life Is Strange's lead...
News Life Is Strange Plays Telltale At Its Own Game
The studio will remember that
It took Telltale Games a fair few attempts, but The Walking Dead proved that episodic gaming can be done well. However, while the developer's re-purposed its model with series like The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands, the regular repetition is starting to expose a few flaws in its format. As such, we're...
News Voice Actor Goofs Up with Kingdom Hearts III's PS4 Release Date
You're taking the Mickey
Voice actors are hired by big video game publishers to open their gobs, so it's no surprise that they struggle to keep them shut outside of the booth. Bill Farmer, who's playing Goofy in Kingdom Hearts III, caused a mild storm on Twitter earlier this week when he 'announced' that the forthcoming PlayStation 4 sequel will...

As if the returning faces in this Dragon Quest Heroes trailer weren’t enough, the whole thing reminds us of a PSone-era cut-scene.
