“More than your average RPG Final Fantasy Rhythm Game”
Back in 2012, Square Enix took it upon themselves to celebrate the Final Fantasy’s 25th anniversary by creating a rhythm-based game that involves some of the best soundtracks in gaming. That game was the 3DS title Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, which was incredibly well-received and praised. Two years have passed, and now Square is at it again with Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call – another take on the rhythm based series. Featuring new music, updated visuals, and new gameplay modes, does this game offer enough to be on par with the rest of the franchise? Ir is this game a fantasy gone wrong?

Square Enix temporarily suspends Dragon Quest X 3DS shipments in Japan
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 5 Comments
Dragon Quest X players on 3DS have been experiencing issues with the game. As such, Square Enix has temporarily halted further shipments.
While problems are being examined and Square Enix is close to reaching a solution, it may be still difficult to log in during peak times. Due to cloud streaming, there has been sound skipping as well. The sound issue was reduced somewhat with maintenance that was carried out yesterday and the developers will address the problem in further maintenance periods. These problems are only affecting the 3DS version since it uses cloud technology unlike the Wii U, Wii, and PC releases.
Square Enix says it underestimated the capacity needed to support all simultaneous players for the 3DS version. In order to allow for a smoother experience for existing players on Nintendo’s handheld, the company is cancelling further shipments of the game temporarily. Small shipments will pick up on September 11.
Square Enix plans to give free playtime as compensation for those who have already registered some playtime until the game can be properly experienced during peak hours.

Appearance is tied to equipment in Final Fantasy Explorers
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Square Enix has been fielding questions about Final Fantasy Explorers over on Twitter.
When asked if you will be able to change your appearance independent of stats/gear, the company said:
“As far as equipment goes, we’d like to apologize beforehand. There isn’t a system that lets you maintain the same performance while changing your looks alone. In order to be able to change appearance, we’ve prepared a wide variety of armor and weapon types for Final Fantasy Explorers, so it would make us happy to see you folks mix and match to your liking.”
Square Enix also reconfirmed on Twitter that Final Fantasy Explorers will support multiplayer over the Internet, and playing online will be free.

This week’s issue of Jump provides a first look a three new characters in Bravely Second.
Yuu, Jean, and Nikolai are all in the game and are a part of the Three Musketeers in the Orthodoxy Knights who protect Pope Agnes. Yuu is supposedly the protagonist and the young leader of this team.
Also worth noting, all three have a consistent unique uniform design, so “Musketeer” could be a new job class.

Dragon Quest executive producer Yuu Miyake and mobile producer Noriyoshi Fujimoto, speaking with Siliconera, said the following when asked if Square Enix would like to bring the game over: “We’d love to do it! Love to.”
Miyake then elaborated:
