Christopher Padilla — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 07:30:22 GMT

Ah, romance in fiction, is there nothing more captivating time than the dance between people who are clearly attracted to each other? Anything sweeter than a tender confession of feelings? And is there anything more irritating when those feelings go undeclared by the end of a story?

I Doubt I’ll Ever Like A Game In The Series As Much As Final Fantasy VII Remake

Andrew King — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 16:45:18 GMT

The original Final Fantasy 7 is great… until it leaves Midgar. The rest of the game is good, but nothing can live up to those opening hours in the dystopian city. It's hard to live up to, even now. That cyberpunk aesthetic is evocative in a way that games could only be when they were made with individual tableaus in mind, rather than making spaces that needed to be fully explorable with a 3D camera.

Michael Llewellyn — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 22:31:17 GMT

It’s always the cool-looking weapons in the Final Fantasy series that get all the love, especially when it comes to standouts like Cloud’s Buster Sword, Barret’s Gatling Gun, and even Aerith’s staff weapons.

Gamers, look around you. The truth can't be denied: we’re in the midst of a great gaming year. Already in 2023 we’ve had killer blasts from the past with Resident Evil 4, Dead Space, System Shock, and Metroid Prime Remastered, plus a full-fledged vision of our gaming future with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Andrew King — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 19:00:17 GMT

The Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth trailer at Summer Game Fest last week ended with a surprising announcement.

What The Tifa Outfit Choice Does In FF7 Remake

Sergio Solorzano — Thu, 18 May 2023 15:16:15 GMT

At an early point in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Tifa asks Cloud for a night out on the town. Then, she suggests that Cloud pick a look for their 'date.' You're given control over this choice, with the three options being "Something Mature," Something Sporty," or "Something Exotic." It doesn't seem like a particularly impactful choice, and the date never happens because the party gets a little busy bombing Mako reactors.

TheGamer Staff — Thu, 11 May 2023 18:30:16 GMT

Upon reaching Chapter 14 of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, you'll gain access to the game's nine remaining side quests. Most of them are pretty straightforward, but there are a couple that may cause a little trouble due either to their length or the order in which you'll need to complete them. The Secret Medicine quest falls into both categories, as you'll first need to complete one of the chapter's longest side quests before you can finally turn it in.

Best Weapon For Each Character In FF7 Remake

Emily Mullis — Sat, 06 May 2023 18:45:15 GMT

Final Fantasy 7 Remake introduced a revamped, fast-paced battle system that utilizes both hack n' slash techniques and the classic turn-based style combat that's synonymous with the series. This new hybrid system first appeared in Final Fantasy 15, but Square Enix has further smoothed the rough edges and enhanced the combat system entirely. Other than perfecting the ability to switch between real-time and turn-base, the key to ultimate success is using the proper weapons for each character.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Needs Its Own Terrible Snowboarding Minigame

Jade King — Mon, 06 Mar 2023 17:45:14 GMT

Final Fantasy and awful minigames go together like twink protagonists and spiky haircuts - there is something about them that just works. The series is positively rotten with the bloody things, and over the years have been cheesed within an inch of their lives so completionists can abuse them for all their big rewards without much effort. I remember conjuring up a killer strategy in Final Fantasy 10’s blitzball that involved hiding behind the goal until time runs out because the enemy team is too dumb to figure out how to respond. I definitely cheated, but after a few hours of grinding I emerged victorious.

Power Wash Simulator's Future Is All About Crossovers

Jade King — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 16:00:15 GMT

Power Wash Simulator continues to blow my mind. On paper, it is an achingly boring idea as you’re dumped into back gardens and public parks to clean away disgusting layers of grime. But through a charming personality and approachable mechanics, developer FuturLab has managed to mimic the mediated satisfaction that comes from mindlessly watching those videos on Facebook where some guy cleans a filthy carpet until it’s sparkling white and fluffy.

Shame Of The Year - Getting To Grips With Final Fantasy

Joshua Robertson — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 16:00:14 GMT

Over the past year, I’ve been playing through the entire Kingdom Hearts series - much to the detriment of my own free time and mental well-being. Trying to understand everything that happens and slot it into place on the timeline felt like a second job, but I thankfully had a very patient guide on hand to annoy with all of my questions when things inevitably got too confusing. However, there was one element of Kingdom Hearts that always flew over my head, and no amount of tips or explainers could help me - all of the Final Fantasy references.

Yesterday, in the United States, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that federally guaranteed the right to an abortion nationwide. This decision, along with many of the court's recent rulings, have made it increasingly clear that the United States Supreme Court is a rightwing tool for the advance of American fascism and is fundamentally committed to overturning a century of progress.

All This New Final Fantasy 7 Stuff Isn't Weird Enough

Andy Kelly — Fri, 17 Jun 2022 20:36:56 GMT

Final Fantasy 7 is a weird-ass game. I think people forget that. Not only does it have one of the most unhinged bestiaries of any RPG—including an evil flying pumpkin called Dorky Face—but it's full of moments that are hilariously at odds with its serious, heartfelt plot. Tifa and Scarlet have a slap fight on top of a giant cannon. Red XIII somehow squeezes himself into a cute lil sailor suit and attempts to walk on two legs. Sephiroth pitches a ball of materia directly at Cloud's forehead and then flies away like Superman. Cloud rides a dolphin. Palmer flees from battle and is immediately run over by a truck. I could go on. It's a joyously quirky, idiosyncratic game, but everything I saw at this week's 25th anniversary stream was anything but. It's all so bland.

Jade King — Tue, 10 May 2022 16:00:14 GMT

We can’t get enough of Tifa Lockhart. She’s been stealing hearts since the release of Final Fantasy 7 way back in 1997, but recent years have seen her experience a resurgence of almost untold magnitude. Whether she’s being railed in Italian parliament, having lewd statues produced of her legendary figure or going on dates with Aerith Gainsborough, it seems the JRPG heroine is an unstoppable force in the modern zeitgeist.

Following on from her explosive debut in Italian politics earlier this year, a merch company is jumping on the new wave of Tifa Lockheart love - and not subtly at all. A new Tifa statue puts the Final Fantasy heroine in an incredibly suggestive pose, and it's turning a lot of heads, to say the least.

Mourning My Friend Through Final Fantasy 7

Mike Drucker — Sun, 17 Apr 2022 18:17:24 GMT

I know the title of this article is ridiculous, but stick with me here. When I heard from someone that my friend Sara died, I did what everyone does in this stupid sci-fi future world: I texted her and, when that failed, I checked on social media. After seeing a few posts here or there, I finally found an obituary and confirmation from a family member. She had died a few days before I even heard.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake's PlayStation exclusivity partially came to an end in 2021 as the game arrived on PC. The initial reaction to the port from a lot of those who played it right off the bat was that it hadn't been executed very well.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Mod Puts Cloud Back In His PS1 Dress

Josh Coulson — Fri, 11 Mar 2022 15:27:30 GMT

Almost two years after its initial launch on PS4, Final Fantasy 7 Remake was ported to PC at the end of 2021 and the results were, well, a little disappointing. Some labeled it the worst triple-A port to date which is quite the statement. On the bright side, FF7 Remake on PC means players have been able to mod Midgar as much as their heart desires, and just because the port is lackluster and a few months have passed doesn't mean the modding can stop.

One of Final Fantasy 7's most standout aspects is its antagonists. In fact, some are arguably more iconic than some of the protagonists.
