A new trailer for the Final Fantasy VII Remake was released today. Take a look at the trailer and then please come back for my thoughts on the newest footage! The Final Fantasy VII Remake looks stunning. The graphics on this game look better every time we see it. I love the original game a lot but this remake looks like it’ll be even better. Even the battle system on the FF7 remake looks fun. Yes, its more of an…

Star Ocean First Departure R will be coming to the Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4 in December. Check out the new trailer for the game below. Star Ocean First Departure R will be coming to the Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4 on December 5, 2019! I have never played this game before. I did play one of the other, more three dimensional Star Oceans and didn’t care for it. This Star Ocean, on the other hand, has retro graphics and…

I was going to write Batman: Arkham Knight for this entry of More Thoughts. Then I discovered…I did not like Batman: Arkham Knight. So instead of complaining about a game I didn’t like, I thought I’d talk about SNES games on the Switch. We have them now. 20 games were launched last week! What do I think of them? Twenty Super Nintendo (SNES) games came to the Nintendo Switch last week. Nintendo Online members can download a SNES app to…

Final Fantasy VIII is the most underrated FF game on the Playstation 1. The game tried new things and those new things were quickly done away with when the next game came. Many people did not like FFVIII at all during the Playstation 1 era. I loved it. And now Final Fantasy VIII is back as Final Fantasy VIII Remastered for the Playstation 4. What do I think of the game now? Is it still worth checking out? Final Fantasy…

I’ve been playing the Dragon Quest 11 S demo for Nintendo Switch a lot lately. Check out my first impressions of the demo here. But the DQ demo is so long, ten hours long, that I have more thoughts on it! What do I think of Dragon Quest 11 S for the Nintendo Switch so far? Sidenote: check out the Gamescom Dragon Quest S video below for a look at the game, even the awesome 2D mode! I have eight…

A demo for Dragon Quest 11 S Definitive Edition was released today! You can download it now on the NA, EU, and JP eshops. I haven’t finished the demo yet, but I wanted to talk about what I’ve played so far. How is Dragon Quest 11 on the Nintendo Switch? There is a demo out for Dragon Quest 11 S Definitive Edition right now on the Nintendo Switch eshops! This really made my day. I’m a huge Dragon Quest fan…

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a modern blend of blend of previous Fire Emblem games that is likely to please fans, old or new. For those who are not familiar with the Fire Emblem franchise, the games have gone from intensely combat-focused to a veritable romance sim. In Three Houses you play a professor at an academy for young knights, which provides the perfect setting to find the balance between the combat and social aspects of the game. While those seeking a pure fighting game (or purely social game) will have to make some compromise to get the most out of ...

When I originally played Final Fantasy 12 on the Playstation 2, I didn’t like it. My main problem was the battle system. FF12 did away with the classic turn-based battle system and went with a more MMO approach. Since then, I’ve played and liked the Xenoblade games, which have a similar battle system. So I thought, maybe, I’d like Final Fantasy 12 more. I got the game recently on the Nintendo Switch and I’ve been playing it. Here are my…

Final Fantasy X is one of my favorite FF games. While its sequel isn’t as good, it does have its merits (the job system). Both games are now available on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One for the first time. Check out the behind scenes video below that talks about the creation of FFX and X-2. Have you played Final Fantasy X and X-2 on the Switch or the Xbox One? What do you think of them?…

Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 will be available on the Nintendo Switch tomorrow! Final Fantasy X is the only game I’ve gone to a “midnight release” for. Well, technically it was around nine at night but by the time I got home, it was past midnight. I remember wanting to stay up late and play this game. There are so many memories I have of this game on the PS2. Playing the demo, playing the actual game, the…
