We recently received word that three unreleased fighter games will be playable at this year's EVO championship series. Dragon Ball FighterZ and Dissidia Final Fantasy NT will be playable at the show But the big shocker is a new, unnamed fighting game project from Arika, the creators of Street Fighter EX. We first heard about this game back on April[...]

And much as I would love to say otherwise, the early access period for Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood has been an utter nightmare for a lot of very, very dedicated players The problem essentially boils down to players being unable to access the new maps, unable to enter instanced content like duties and dungeons, and a[...]

The playable demo at E3 for Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is no different The mechanics are pretty simple, if not weird for a fighting game Your basic attack doesn't actually damage HP, but allows you to charge up in order to do some significant HP damage- or even get a one hit KO That said,[...]

Square Enix had announced Dissidia Final Fantasy NT just before E3, and yet the console port of the Final Fantasy fighter never made it to any of the major press conferences But that didn't mean we weren't going to be seeing the game at E3 Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is one of the playable games at the[...]

Not only are we[...]
