You know, I don't recall playing a single Japanese game to date that had major issues. Granted, they usually don't have the same level of graphical development, but in the end they're often also more elaborate, incredible games.

Not Yet

Do you ever play Nintendo games?

For anyone who's not sure how this works, here's a quick primer (source: I work in game development):

When you make a big, open-world style game like Destiny, there's a lot of stuff that goes into what is essentially pre-visualization.

No, it's actually Mike. That's his other job, using his other name.

I think we can all agree...

I'm one of those who think FF peaked with VI.

Bayonetta is a strange game.

Okay, seriously. What in the actual fuck, folks?

I teach English at the college level; last year, I was privileged to teach ENG 230, which at my institution is a rotating (through the faculty) course that is generously labeled "Special Topics in Literature."

I taught my course, for two semesters, as "Gaming: Literary…

Final Fantasy IV: Kingdom Hearts

It doesn't seem like there will be a traditional world map, where castles and forests are basically shorthand for the actual places you visit, but at least it does seem like there will be a big open world, based on last month's road trip trailer. I just hope there's an airship.

One of the things that has been really lacking in recent Final Fantasys is all of those minor little traditions, from Genji armor to hidden summons. I really hope Tabata and crew bring back that element of discovery and wonder that makes Final Fantasy games feel like Final Fantasy games.

As I pointed out in the previous article, Star Wars "lasers" are not the simple laser weapons the author and various Star Trek fans seem to think.

Hmm. Interesting theory. Here's an alternative: the game isn't out yet.
