End of an era.

I used to work at Game in the UK during the Wii, DS, PS3 and Xbox 360 era.

One time I had to wear a Mario suit and do the Mario voice to greet people. I could only see through Mario’s mouth hole, so I couldn’t see people’s faces. Just their feet. lol.

Sad to see video game shops go

The title for FF7 Remake part 3 has been decided!

“I remember an interview I did at Paris Games Week about how we’d narrowed it down to two

It was up to Mr. Nomura to decide which it is. And yes, after returning from Paris Games Week, he did choose one, so I can say the title has been locked."

Naoki Hamaguchi says FF7 Remake Part 3 development is going very smoothly. Says it is playable and they are now trying to polish it!

“I believe that at this point the game is playable, technically, but we are still trying to polish it so it is at a quality where we can deliver it to our players.”

Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uemastu says he is not sure why people love “Battle at the Big Bridge” from FF5!

He says the reason he doesn't want people to talk about it as much as they do is because he says there was no big inspiration or idea behind it...
January 9, 2026 at 2:11 AM
Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uemastu says the music for FF4, 5 and 6 followed the same pattern as FF1, 2 and 3!

- FF1 was trying to figure things
- FF2 was experimenting
- FF3 was the completion stage

He says FF4 was also figuring things out, FF5 was experimenting and FF6 being the completed form
