PixlBit | When Jesse Miller, our resident features guru, asked if I would be interested in doing a Final Fantasy retrospective for the series’ 25th anniversary last year my answer was a resounding “yes!” In the months that followed, I poured all of my love and dedication into a five part series detailing the 14 core Final Fantasy games. It was a labor of love for me; no series of games has been more influential or important to me as a gamer. I’m a staunch defender of these games, even when they go into weird territory like iOS time-wasters. That doesn’t mean that I’m blind to the fact that the series isn’t what it once was, however. As excited as I am for the future of Final Fantasy, I think that the fine folks over at Square Enix need to take a good long look at where the series stands. To that end, I have 5 things that I think could help immensely as we move forward into the next generation.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
All available May 5.
Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-
I think the only game here for me is Nine Sols. Was always interested in that game.
Good month for me, I wanted that particular footy game and thought it might be due. Anyway who cares, shame about the site I'll miss the comment sections. All the best everyone.
While I agree there is a few things final fantasy could do to improve I feel that this is how final fantasy evolved. The fact that 1 didn't lend itself to a sequel meant that square could make changes as they see fit. While I didn't really enjoy 12/13 I actually quite enjoyed 13-2 and I am look forward to a more kingdom hearts style final fantasy (vs 13)
I think FF doesn't need to change but the way Square deals with the series has to change.
Not keeping us up to date
Not listening to fan feedback
And shoving FF on the title of a lot of games that aren't needed.
Finally I think square need to remember it was FF that saved them and they do treat it with respect but I think they could treat the name better.
in recent years ff has become a turd and the release the same game 100 times over ff13 ff13 lightning returns ff13 uncut ff13 the uncut recut ff13 the remix ff13 the ultimate remix ff13 x2 ff13 the pre ff14 remix ff14 1 year aniversary disk ff13 the ultimate uber turd editon
1 - Fire Wada
2 - remember you're a eastern developer
3 - fire wada
4 - remember you're a eastern delevoper
5 - repeat steps 1-4 until you get it right
Seriously they just need to stop trying to westernize everything and stick to what made JRPG's so popular during the PS/PS2 days. Ni No Kuni is a perfect example of a JRPG done right & FF XIII is a perfect example of a JRPG done wrong.
They just need to stop westernizing their games and be themselves.
