Square Enix

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is seeing localization, Nintendo has revealed. That news comes from the company’s financial results, and more importantly, the release schedule.

Square Enix’s game is listed for a 2019 release in both North America and Europe. It’s also labeled as a “Nintendo product”, meaning Nintendo should be publishing the game on Switch in the west.

In preparation of the launch of World of Final Fantasy Maxima on November 6, Square Enix has shared additional details pertaining to some more Mirages that will appear in the game, as well as a special boss battle that players can unlock. Originally posted in Japanese, a translation of the materials has been provided by Gematsu.

Although the necessary conditions are unknown at this time, players can unlock an extra boss battle with Enna Kros within the Nine Wood Hills coffee shop. Reportedly, she wields God-like techniques that can be used “without effort”.

As far as Mirages go, the new cast that has been revealed includes two characters from the World of Final Fantasy: Meli-Melo mobile game, as well as two familiar summon based Mirages. The details, as well as some fresh screenshots, can be viewed below.

World of Final Fantasy Maxima

Square Enix has announced a new live stream for World of Final Fantasy Maxima that will be taking place a day before its launch in Japan. Direct Hiroki Chiba will be on hand to share the latest information (and presumably footage).

The event will take place on November 5 at the following times:

Square Enix sent out the latest batch of official details and screenshots today covering the game’s multiplayer features. We’ve rounded up the news below, courtesy of Gematsu.

World of Final Fantasy Maxima

There’s been a quick turnaround between the announcement and release of World of Final Fantasy Maxima. You’ll likely remember that Square Enix revealed the game for Switch during a mid-September Nintendo Direct. It’s less than two weeks away at this point, as we’ll be seeing it on November 6. Yet despite being so close, there’s still some uncertainty surrounding World of Final Fantasy Maxima.

Head over to retailer sites like Amazon – or Square Enix’s own store – and you’ll see that World of Final Fantasy can be pre-ordered for Xbox One. However, the Switch version is nowhere to be seen. With such a short amount of time until launch, while nothing is official just yet, it’s essentially confirmed that World of Final Fantasy Maxima will be digital-only on Switch.

We recently heard from Octopath Traveler composer Yasunori Nishiki discussing the creation of the game’s main theme. Nishiki is now back with another piece discussing how he went about making “Decisive Battle I”.

Here’s the full post:

Octopath Traveler

Octopath Traveler was led by producers Masashi Takahashi and Tomoya Asano. As some dedicated fans may know, both of these developers were responsible for the Bravely games on 3DS.

Bravely Default came out in 2012. Its sequel, Bravely Second: End Layer, followed in 2015. Octopath Traveler then arrived in 2018. The pattern here is that the team behind these projects has been putting out games once every three years. The good news is that in the future, the wait between titles may decrease.

The latest issue of Weekly Jump contains a lot of information about multiplayer in the Dragon Quest Builders sequel. Read the latest update, below, courtesy of a translation by Gematsu.

Fear Effect Reinvented

The first screenshots of Fear Effect Reinvented – a remake of the original PlayStation game – have been posted online. We have the set below.

Fear Effect Reinvented will be playable for the first time at Paris Games Week starting tomorrow. It’s possible that we’ll get our first proper footage, so we’ll be on the lookout for any gameplay videos.
