2016 began with loads of questions surrounding Final Fantasy XV. “Would it be finished before the end of the year?” More importantly, “Would it even be good?!” Now that 2017 has come and gone, we have solid answers for those questions. The game indeed came out, and it is surviving as one of the best and most endearing games of the past year. We’re sure Director Hajime Tabata is...
Yup, Japan got to play Persona 5 this year with a release way back in September, and its game developers also think it’s the best game of the year. 140 developers from around the country recently contributed to an annual poll hosted by 4Gamer, and Atlus’ latest topped the charts above the rest of the heavy hitters. Persona 5 was able to land 21 votes total, beating out the second place...
Final Fantasy XV famously underwent a name change deep into its development, having spent the first half-decade of its development as Final Fantasy XIII Versus. While the core story remained intact, many fans are wondering what exactly changed when Director Hajime Tabata took over. Mognetcentral forum user xXShuyaXx recently sat down with Tabata to ask the differences, and Tabata...
Final Fantasy XV was a critical darling of the holiday season, surpassing expectations of a troubled development and scoring accolades around the industry.

First up is the creator of Final Fantasy XV himself, Hironobu Sakaguchi...
Earlier in February, I raised a question wondering if 2016 would be the best year for JRPGs since the late 90s. I ultimately believed that the releases looked a little too conventional to compare to the “whatever sticks” approach that Square and its rivals were bombarding us with back during the PlayStation days.

*Warning: Final Fantasy XV spoilers* Ever since the days of Final Fantasy II, “Guest” characters have had a reputation for popping up in Final Fantasy games, impressing everyone with their skill, and then vanishing due to certain plot elements. Final Fantasy VI’s General Leo, Final Fantasy VIII’s Laguna, Kiros, and Ward, the entire cast of Final Fantasy IV, and even the mighty...
We’ve been playing Final Fantasy XV here at TechnoBuffalo for a bit now. In fact, our review went up earlier this week. We love the game. Me? I could do without all the black and zippers that our four heroes wear. There’s good news that I overlooked for a while, though, and maybe you did too! You can change their outfits.

The idea of his story is to focus more on the action elements of Final Fantasy XV, which I am totally okay with. But according to VG247,...
