Last week, I wrote a world ranking about the very first Kingdom Hearts game, and now it’s time to cover its even more impressive sequel, the aptly named Kingdom Hearts 2. This game has some really good worlds…and some really dull ones. I’ll be ranking these based off of everything, the general theming, the story,…

Listmas 2025: Kingdom Hearts World Ranking
One of my favorite game series of all time is Kingdom Hearts, a mashup of Disney and Final Fantasy that is surprisingly deep and works far better than you’d expect. With memorable characters and lore that rivals that of Five Nights at Freddy’s, the first two numbered games of the series in particular will always…
Unforgettable: An Operatic Interlude in Final Fantasy VI
I recently dove into Final Fantasy VI for the first time ever and can’t say I’m not feeling a little teary-eyed as its finish line closes in. I simply don’t want it to end. (And yet, of course I do, because Kefka has to be stopped!) Before FFVI, I don’t know what I’d have picked…
Fans Petition Square Enix to Release Kingdom-Hearts: Missing Link
As you may or may not already know, Square enix recently announced the cancellation of Kingdom Hearts: Missing-Link, which was going to be some sort of mobile game meant to bridge Kingdom Hearts 3 and the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 4. Square Enix’s stated reason for cancelling the game was its putting greater focus on the…
Listmas 2024: Even Scrooges Need Christmas Cheer
We’ve already covered our favorite allies and most memorable gaming friendships and family relationships. So now let’s look at the other end of the moral spectrum. Because you can’t really have a good adventure without some villains causing the main conflict. These guys might be on Santa’s naughty list, but that doesn’t mean they can’t…
Final Fantasy Remake Director Very Confident in Part 3
The remake series for Final Fantasy VII has, by most accounts, been progressing quite smoothly. It’s been a many, many years long endeavor at this point, but the results have in fact been quite good up until now. It’s even more encouraging to see each entry get better, with Rebirth being quite superior to Remake….
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Adds Fast Travel
In case there was any doubt, Square Enix has more or less confirmed now that the next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake series will have absolutely massive map for players to explore. Indeed, it looks like the whole planet from the original game has been included here, but at a much greater scale….
Listmas 2023: Beautiful Games That Will Save on Wrapping Paper
Wrapping paper is not usually sufficient to hide the presence of a video game. We all know the relative shape and size, so it’s really just to hide its specific identity. But there are some games that are just too beautiful to be covered up by some brightly colored, winter-themed paper. For these games, you…
DLC Officially Announced for Final Fantasy XVI
Those hoping for more to do in the world of Final Fantasy XVI are in luck! Recently, producer Naoki Yoshida announced that Final Fantasy XVI is indeed getting some DLC in the future. I absolutely loved Final Fantasy XVI (shortcomings aside), so I se this as an absolute win regardless of what kind of DLC…
There’s Always Gotta Be Something
I’m not usually one to rag on people for complaining when it comes to video games. I mean, no game is perfect; even games many people consider masterpieces have their detractors, and I myself don’t really care for a lot of the super popular titles out there. There’s also something to be said for making…
