Game development is hard—almost as hard as keeping fans happy. In the case of Final Fantasy XV, the game has been delayed to make sure it's fully polished and doesn't require a patch on its launch day to make it suitably playable, which you may remember from a bygone era as "how game development works." You can't please everyone, though, and after a weekend of fan frustration, the delay isn't necessarily welcome news.

We're big fans of Life Is Strange around here, and our own Jessica Lachenal and others have written a lot on the subject. If you've still yet to experience it outside of just our words, though, you're in luck: The game's first episode will be 100% free on PlayStation Network, starting tomorrow, July 21.

Final Fantasy XV got its own dedicated live event last night (which you can watch in full above if you've got several hours to spare), and Square Enix unleashed a flood of information including a release date, special editions, companion anime, a demo, and more. If you didn't manage to watch the whole thing yourself, we'll help you catch up on the main points you might have missed.

Every tweet you share using the #EveryDayHeroes hashtag increases the amount of money that Square-Enix will donate to PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center.

Lightning, a character from Square Enix's Final Fantasy series, who was originally created to feature as a strong female protagonist in the game, is now the new face of Louis Vuitton.

Smash Bros. isn't the only place to find some Final Fantasy VII action lately; the iconic PlayStation title is finally getting the remake fans have been waiting for (or so we hope), and it's coming in multiple installments. Now, we've got a little bit more insight into what we can expect.

With a few exceptions, most of the games I have covered in this column have been made in Western countries. This hasn’t been intentional, nor does it really speak to my own gaming habits. In fact, most of the new titles I played this year were by Nintendo, and fashion played a pretty big part in this. Japanese-made games do tend to have a certain stylishness that Western games often lack.

Over the weekend, Sony showed off footage from the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake that fans have been begging to see for years, but it may not have been just an artistic choice from the trailer to show footage from the earliest section of the game. It's not like you could really spoil a game that's nearly 20 years old, but the later sections might not be done yet, because the remake is going to be episodic.

It's been a few weeks since the last episode of Life is Strange hit us all in the feels, so I guess that meant it was the perfect time for Dontnod and Square-Enix to announce a brand new Life is Strange Limited Edition bundle.

As fun as it is to witness Lara Croft’s rise as a Tomb Raider, nothing beats trekking into a tomb dressed in the famous ensemble of blue tank top, brown shorts, and boots and hunting for ancient relics.

It's videos like this that not only make Hayley Atwell a Vine darling, but make us want to put her in scary situations just so we can hear her curse in an English accent.

Square Enix has announced their newest IP, Life is Strange, follows Max, who has the power to rewind time and is searching for a missing fellow student. The game will be released digitally and episodically, with "each new chapter building and evolving based on the choices you made in previous episodes." So why did it take so long to find a publisher for Life is Strange?

Pay no attention to the goof behind the curtain!

I’ve never understood Kingdom Hearts. Around the time the first one came out, I was playing other role-playing games like Final Fantasy X. For me in my teens, RPGs were my emotional fix, and I bought into every epic cutscene, impossibly cool bad guy, and sappy romance. Kingdom Hearts was definitely on my radar.
