Last week, Final Fantasy producer Yoshida Naoki objected to the label “JRPG,” stating that the term felt “discriminatory.” His comments kicked off a round of discussion about whether or not the term “JRPG” was racially problematic.

15 Hours With Octopath Traveler II: Good But Disjointed Stories (So Far)

2.3.2023
I’ve had a rough go of it in Octopath Traveler II’s first few hours. As someone who loves RPG parties most when they feel like real units of friends and found family, Octopath’s anthology-like storytelling wasn’t doing it for me. Its eight playable characters felt like islands I had to walk to...

There Is No Saving Cyberpunk 2077

1.3.2023
Just outside the main castle grounds in Hogwarts Legacy, the vibrant and towering Quidditch stands sit on the horizon, beckoning. If you hop on your broomstick, you can soar up the pitch’s shorter walls and down onto the field itself, the impossibly green grass begging to be sullied by your...

8 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting Octopath Traveler II

1.3.2023
In a lot of ways, Octopath Traveler II can feel like a pretty straightforward turn-based RPG, but when you take into account its eight characters’ original mechanics, its non-linear storytelling, and how unapologetic it can be about throwing you into the deep end, there’s a lot of complexity under...

Naruto Games, Ranked From Worst To Best

28.2.2023
There are so many games (maybe too many?) based on mangaka Masashi Kishimoto’s wildly popular shonen series Naruto. Some date back to the Game Boy Advance and OG PlayStation, while others, such as the *new* game Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections that was revealed during Sony’s...

We’ve all been there. You initiate a conversation with some NPC off the side of the road. Suddenly, you’re trapped in the world’s longest and most non-skippable conversation. Your fingers hurt as you mash the buttons really hard. Your eyes glaze over as the other person goes on and on and on....

New Netflix Must-Watch Reality Show Is Now Steeped In Assault Allegations

27.2.2023
I’ve been getting into sports lately. Not like physically, mind you, but parasocially. Y’know, watching Hajime No Ippo ahead of the anime AF Creed III and seeing what the hubbub is about LeBron James making history while being an “old.” While new Netflix game show Physical: 100 inspires lapsed...
