We don’t know much about Sigma Harmonics now, but the development team loves grizzly bears. The brand new property is scheduled to come out on the DS in Japan at the end of this year and it looks like someone…

With A-East up and running, thanks to a last minute intervention by Beat and Rhyme, chapter four begins with a scene between a bespectacled woman Reaper a French maid outfit and a young man with a hyena's grin in a…

We’re fresh out of Dragon Quest DS remakes to associate Square Enix new trademarks with. So, what could the Last Hope be for? A subtitle for Star Ocean 4? Nah, that’s too reminiscent of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.…

Good morning Chancellor Chime. Thanks for the report on my two warrior Clavats, Doris and Ansel. With only two warriors in the kingdom I wish there was a way to create more warriors with a male and a female other…

If you happen to own all, or most, of the properties on say, the yellow street, you’ll be able to upgrade the shops on each property and make more money. Isn’t capitalism great?

I’m not at all familiar with the Soul Eater series, but I’m curious to see which direction Square Enix is going to go with Wiimote controls. Are they going to have motion controlled swinging or a button layout with a…

While we’re discussing the World Ends With You, did you notice how Square Enix crafted the equipment system? Instead of regulating “threads” (read: armor) by level, bravery determines what you can wear.   Shiki, Neku’s female friend and first partner,…
