Final Fantasy VII Revelation will "probably be around 200GB of game" according to director Naoki Hamaguchi: https://www.rpgsite.net/news/21430-final-fantasy-vii-revelation-200gb-download-size-naoki-hamaguchi

For Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, I wrote up numerous pages of tips, information, system explainers, plus guided walkthroughs for each protagonist. I even drew a few maps that should be very helpful (like for exploring the desert!). Paralogues, Recruitment, Support, New Game Plus?, it's all here.

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter continues Falcom's winning streak with excellent storytelling, robust and fluid hybrid action/turn-based combat, jaw-dropping music, and more. Our 10/10 review: https://www.rpgsite.net/review/21308-trails-in-the-sky-2nd-chapter-review

The definitive verdict. More definitive FE stuff to come... The team has been putting in a herculean effort. Tune back in on launch

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a massive and extremely ambitious SRPG. While its tactical battles, exploration, and management systems are excellent, a disjointed narrative holds this entry back from its potential. Our review: https://www.rpgsite.net/review/21412-fire-emblem-fortunes-weave-review

Just learned that after being acquired, GameReactor has in several territories laid off its entire editorial team & is pivoting its content creation to gen AI. Apparently includes the UK as well. Another sorry end (and trust me, it will be an end) to a once proud games media brand

Clap de fin pour GameReactor.dk, le premier site JV au Danemark 🇩🇰 Le site continuera à exister (?!), mais la rédaction a été remerciée (virée). Selon Arkaden.dk, Game Reactor remplace les rédactions nordiques (Danemark, Suède, Finlande et Norvège) par l'IA générative 📰 arkaden.dk/nyheder/game...

I dunno if this comes across as prudish but seeing Sora with a fuckin gun in Fortnite just makes me pine for the days when companies were more obsessive about brand safety & messaging. That character with a gun feels wrong; like it should only exist in a fan mod, not an official product.

As the GameCube turns 25, I think back to that EU launch line-up and think about elite it was - Luigi's Mansion, of course - but Wave Race, Rogue Squadron II, Super Monkey Ball, Sonic Adventure 2, Crazy Taxi, Burnout... THPS3! A real strong one.

We've once again updated our feature keeping track of Square Enix's Switch 1/2 cross generation releases to include Romancing SaGa 3 Destinies United, Crisis Core FFVII Reunion, & DQ Heroes Torneko‘s Mystery Dungeon. None of them have an upgrade path or save transfer: www.rpgsite.net/feature/1865...

A real pleasure to write for Eteo Games about a game I love delving into - thanks @goneefk.bsky.social and @eteogreg.bsky.social for the opportunity!

Shenmue's open investigation asks you to navigate intricate NPC schedules and shop opening hours, encouraging you to spend time in the community and avoid rushing through the story. Written by Matthew Reynolds, read our second article on Investigations here: www.eteogames.com/the-indiffer...

this is such a fun little horror moment in metroid 2. absolutely perfect use of the gameboy's memory limits: you want to get some space between you and the surprise metroid, but the hole you shot to get here has already filled with sand again. you're trapped.

Perfect couple of posts summarising the Wolverine / AAA space.

Here's how it's currently looking comparatively

Game must recognize game; FF7's Naoki Hamaguchi is clearly one of the legit Watch Guys in game dev. At Gamescom he was wearing a titanium Omega Seamaster (ref 210.90.42.20.01.001, $11,300) & I notice in the Japanese media interview photos he's rocking a Panerai Luminor Marina (PAM01312 $9,500).

Really impressive presentation, but a warning light on the dash and one to watch for games sites. How long 'til Nintendo Direct, Game Awards etc announcements are presented in this manner by Google, killing CTR to stories/roundups?

Lots of content in the SERP -> I checked the new NFL feature during last night's game that Google just added (Live game feed). There was a ton of information there. A ton. Lots of X content btw. Remember, Google has the firehose from X.

Busy FF7 day here! First off, here's me on RPG Site absolutely mind-blown by the size of the game but made a bit nervous by the kitchen sink approach (less can be more sometimes, after all)...

Final Fantasy VII Revelation is massive, impressive, and makes me a little nervous - hands-on: https://www.rpgsite.net/preview/21340-final-fantasy-vii-revelation-massive-impressive-makes-me-little-nervous-hands-on

this bit from skill up's review of wolverine knocked me on my ass, it feels like something that wouldve come out of one of those focus m parody videos but its in a real triple A game

The thing about a statement like this is it can't really wash when you deliberately made a song and dance about being on more than one disc the last two times, unless the suggestion is the final version won't fit on 200gb (2 dual layer BDs). I get the biz realities but better to say nothing tbh

this is why if you think you can get away with cheap SEO dog shit and just hide it from your front page or whatever, it's still a danger; site-wide signals can be difficult to reverse. That cheap, practically automated mobile game code page draws traffic NOW - but what is the long-term trust impact?

***SITE-LEVEL QUALITY*** Google has **SITE-LEVEL QUALITY ALGORITHMS** that can have a huge impact on rankings for content published on the site (at the hostname level). Of course, site-level quality incorporates many of the other factors in the list, but it's important to point this out.
