This is it: Summer Games Done Quick is nearly complete. It's time for the final (and hopefully most exciting) run: Final Fantasy VI. » 6/29/14 1:29am 6/29/14 1:29am

8-Bit Artist spent more than 200 hours on this painting, just to prove how insanely huge and incredible Kefka, the final boss of Final Fantasy VI, is. » 6/16/14 9:20am 6/16/14 9:20am

Back when I was a kid in the late 80s and early 90s, game music didn't seem like anything special. Sure, I knew the Mario Bros. Rap and could hum the theme to Sonic the Hedgehog, but no game music ever captivated me. Then I played Final Fantasy VI. » 5/27/14 6:00am 5/27/14 6:00am

You can almost hear Terra's Theme in the background in artist Carlos Villa's excellent reinterpretation of Final Fantasy VI's grand opening. Magitek Armored troops are about to enter the remote town of Narshe. » 4/16/14 8:30am 4/16/14 8:30am

I've always preferred the PAL/Japanese Super Nintendo to the American one. Not just for its more elegant design, but for its timeless colour palette. This custom console takes that theme and goes all Final Fantasy with it, and I love it. » 4/03/14 10:00pm 4/03/14 10:00pm

Twenty years ago, an RPG called Final Fantasy VI came out in Japan, and really, it's all just been downhill for video games since then. » 4/02/14 5:00pm 4/02/14 5:00pm

One of the greatest RPGs ever made is out on iOS today. It'll cost you $15.99, and it's got touchscreen-adapted controls and a brand new coat of paint. » 2/06/14 10:46am 2/06/14 10:46am

The Android version of Final Fantasy VI isn't just ugly—it's got a massive, game-breaking glitch, too. » 1/20/14 1:00pm 1/20/14 1:00pm

When we first saw screens of Final Fantasy VI on mobile, I was a little worried. The sprites looked faded, as if they'd been accidentally thrown in a washing machine, and like the FFV port before it, the game had an amateur, RPG Makerish feel. » 1/15/14 6:49pm 1/15/14 6:49pm

While there is no way I'm not going to replay Final Fantasy VI on mobile—it's one of my favorite games of all time, and I want it on my phone—these sprites are seriously bumming me out. They feel flat and boring and lifeless, like the artists were told to transform everyone into goofy, watered-down cartoon caricatures. » 12/04/13 10:40am 12/04/13 10:40am

These days Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura busies himself with Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III. But let's take a look back in time, before he was the famous game designer he is today. » 10/28/13 6:00am 10/28/13 6:00am

Inspired mostly by Medieval architecture and the Middle Ages, fortified stone castles in video games are always among the most exciting locations. These bastions are the keepers of many secrets, hidden cellars and lost knowledge all awaiting the player to find them. » 5/14/13 7:30pm 5/14/13 7:30pm

One of the most villainous ways to raise the fear level in a game is to throw in a psycho clown. That clown is hides behind his stupid fake smile, searching for a way to earn your trust. » 3/01/13 7:30pm 3/01/13 7:30pm

Almost as far back as I can remember, I've been a gamer. At the age of four, my family got an original Nintendo with the Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, and the World Class Track Meet combo game—light gun and power pad included. Until I was in middle school, that Nintendo (and the aging Atari 2600 that lived forgotten… » 2/26/13 7:00am 2/26/13 7:00am

Square Enix launched a teaser site. Is it a FFV remake? A FFVI remake? » 1/15/13 5:00am 1/15/13 5:00am
