My next stop is a room I remember getting a little frustrated with back when I originally played this. It’s raining and vampires come out of the ground, everything is a bit green, particularly the pond (small lake? it feels too big to be a pond, too small to be a lake, what comes in […]

#ThrowbackThursday Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver playthrough part 2
Leaving the gate room Raziel comes across more familiar scenery, the Lake of the Dead. Even though much of Nozgoth has changed in the time Raziel lay at the bottom of the lake, this landmark allows him to get his bearings. There are two directions I can, in theory, access, though I take the route […]
#ThrowbackThursday Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
I’ve had a few weeks break from #ThrowbackThursday since completing my Final Fantasy IX playthrough and thus it’s time to get back up and running again. I decided to stick with the same era but go with a completely different genre and fancied tackling the Legacy of Kain series, now why have I started with […]
Final Fantasy VII Remake
It’s been a couple of weeks now since I finished Final Fantasy VII Remake and in that time I’ve been trying to form my opinions on it, it’s a difficult game to write about, particularly from the position I find myself in as a fan of the series though I don’t hold Final Fantasy VII […]

At the end of last weeks post, we were stood at the bottom of a staircase/cobblestone pathway after Garland had named this new location “Memoria”. We begin by climbing the staircase towards a castle where we find a glowing orb that I […]
Console Exclusivity is Gatekeeping, and Needs to Go Away
I’ve been sat on notes for this article for a few weeks now, but this week’s Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade announcement has helped me flesh it out somewhat. So, as the title says, we need to do away with system exclusivity. It’s a business practice that, long-term, makes little sense. Why reduce your potential […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 45
Wow, it’s been a long-long time since this was updated, it’s not that I’d forgotten or put the game down, its that other things happened. First I did a playthrough of Alan Wake for “Horroctober” then when I returned to FFIX the left stick on my Vita was acting up. I tried to swap it […]
Final Fantasy XIV: La Voyage dans la Lune – Or my crackpot made up version of what to expect from Endwalker.
So, in discussing the new trailer etc for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker a few things have happened. The first is that I’ve dusted off my PSP to play through Final Fantasy IV as fans of the series that have played more entries than I have pointed out some things the Endwalkers trailer has in common […]
Ranking Final Fantasy
When stuck for inspiration, lists are usually a good place to go. I don’t do them a whole lot but they can be a lot of fun for both the writer and the reader. Recently RetroChi on Twitter posted her TierMaker list of her favourite Final Fantasy games: Please don't lynch me. #finalfantasyrankingI want to […]
