The Canon of Final Fantasy Protagonists: The CoNcast E023
A series like Final Fantasy - 25 years old, with twenty-plus games bearing the name - is sure to have an extremely diverse set of characters. Or, is it sure after all? Perhaps the series uses the same archetypes over...

Open World Games and Square Enix: The CoNcast E020
For more than a few years, the notion of making a game's world be open and available for exploration and plot advancement at the gamer's whim has grown into a hot genre. Games from Rockstar and Bioware have long been...

Merry(ocrat) Christmas: The CoNcast E018

It's Not Going to Happen, Gretchen: The CoNcast E016

The Visual Style of Games: The CoNcast E015

2013 E3 Recapping: The CoNcast E008
