Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster PS4 Patch Notes September 5, 2015

Square Enix has just announced they have released a patch for the PS4 version of Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster.

The patch fixes two problems with the game that players brought to their attention.  The game’s random number generator has been fixed and will enable truly random attacks by enemies during battle. The second fix addresses an issue where the game’s soundtrack would reset after the conclusion of a battle.  Now, any songs playing in the game’s background will resume where it left off after the conclusion of a random battle.

If this all sounds good to you I’m happy to announce the patch is out and you can download the patch to your PS4 right now.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster is out now on PS3 and PS4.

Final Fantasy VII Machinabridged Premieres September 3, 2015

While attending ConnectiCon 2015, Princess Angel and I were fortunate enough to attend a panel hosted by TeamFourStar, a comedy group known for producing abridged video series of popular anime online.  During that panel, the group previewed a trailer for their next abridged series, a parody based on the game Final Fantasy VII.

Today, after over a month of waiting, TeamFourStar has finally launched that series online!  Whether you played Final Fantasy VII or not, it is just hilarious.  If you’re like me and couldn’t wait any longer to watch this episode, you can check out the first episode below.

Not enough for you?  No problem.  The second episode has already been published on their official website.  You can watch it here.

TeamFourStar promises that more episodes are on the way. I can’t think of any better way to pass the time while I wait for Square to release Final Fantasy VII on PS4.

Halo 5: Guardians Opening Cinematic August 31, 2015

Without being clear with what specifically they were planning to show, Microsoft and 343 Industries have been teasing new footage from Halo 5: Guardians was going to be released in the past 24 hours.  There is no exclusive game coming to the Xbox One this year that is more anticipated than the next Halo game and we have just discovered that Microsoft has chosen to premiere the game’s opening cinematic tonight, just shy of two months before the game is scheduled to launch.

With all the apps and services Microsoft has at their fingertips, you would think they would choose to premiere tonight’s content on the Halo Channel or The Official Xbox YouTube Channel, but for some reason that completely escapes me Microsoft chose to premiere this game footage on Buzzfeed.  Regardless, it looks incredible. Enjoy.

Halo 5: Guardians is coming October 2015 exclusively on Xbox One.

Final Fantasy XV Driving Demonstration August 31, 2015

At PAX Prime 2015, Final Fantasy fans got a great look at what driving is going to be like when Final Fantasy XV gets released next year.

I spent a year living in Southern California, and while I didn’t have a car during that time, I have fond memories of cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway with my family and friends. Somehow, watching this footage brought me back over ten years into the past, and I felt like I was back again. Take a look for yourselves.
