E3 2018: Kingdom Hearts 3 — The E3 Trailers
How many trailers does one game need? If you ask us, Kingdom Hearts 3 doesn’t have enough, but this year it got three.

Final Fantasy 15 Gains New Weapon Inspired By EDM Artist
The characters in Final Fantasy 15 have some odd fixations, some corporate-driven (Cup Noodles) and some that are just preferences of the development team.

Final Fantasy 15’s Most Tedious Chapter Is Now Fixed
The biggest complaint people who have played Final Fantasy 15 have had is with Chapter 13 of the story, in which Noctis is imprisoned and stripped of his items, and must wander around bland solid walls for hours trying to get them back.
