Introduction A long time ago (17 years!) Square Enix got together with Disney to create a game that combined characters from Square’s famous role playing games (Final Fantasy) and characters from classic Disney canon. The aim was to get new audiences for both companies work by connecting them via a story featuring a young protagonist (Sora, aged 14 in the first game and still only just about 16 in the latest) and his adventures. That game was Kingdom Hearts and we’re still here 17 years […]

Final Fantasy XV was a video game that was almost a decade in the making. Initially planned by Square as Final Fantasy Versus XIII back in 2007/2008 over time it was adapted and reworked to become the first game in the long running series for the new generation of consoles in 2016.

It’s more like a series of interconnected short stories, where one story centers on something that gets revealed in the next story. The stories all feature Geralt of Rivia […]

I admit that I picked up this book purely because of the title. I was expecting something a little goofy, and that’s what I got, but not in the way I expected. The action takes place in Orario, an area defined mostly by the existence of The Labrynth, what seems to be a cave of who-knows-how-many-levels filled with monsters. Adventurers come to town to slay the monsters and earn both reputation and money. Also in the case of the hero, Bell Cranell, the admiration of […]
