Myths & Traditions That Inspired Final Fantasy Tactics Project details dropping this weekend #FinalFantasy

According to Gnostic myth, God of the Old Testament is not the true Almighty but an imperfect creator deity. Gnostics rejected this demiurge and pursued enlightenment of the Almighty. This is reflected in FFXVI through Ultima’s creation of mankind, whose greatest sin is to break free of his will.

In Norse myth, the underworld and its custodian are named Hel. Hel is a being who represents death, with one half of her body made of healthy flesh and the other half of decaying flesh. This is reflected on FFXVI's flag of Waloed and map of Ash, itself scourged by deadly Blight.

Live with more Shinra Arch Cut! It's *technically* stream break, so we're vibing all the way to Costa del Sol! twitch.tv/profnoctis youtube.com/@profnoctis

Does anyone have a recommendation for a second switch 2 dock? Mine is hooked to my pc for streaming but I’d really like the option to play on the tv without moving everything back and forth! I’m addicted to Pokopia and it keeps dying help 😂

This is a really interesting rundown on how Japanese gamers experienced American adventure games!

Playing Nier Automata with the new Boost enhancement on the Nintendo Switch 2. First time playing since the original PS4 release.

I still can't believe in 2025 we got Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles & it won best strategy game of the year 💛🧡

What's your favorite two-player tabletop game? Thanks to Asmodee and @fantasyflightgames.bsky.social for shipping out a copy of Hanamikoji!

I'm continuing my trek to find the best 2 player tabletop games, right now my top 2 are... 1. Dustbiters 2. Air, Land, & Sea

Whoa, DLSS turned DQ7R into a 2004 film

Puppet Ben Starr is my new favorite @square-enix-games.com mascot. I laughed through this whole "game sale ad" with Matt Mercer and Ben. 🤣 #gamingsky #jrpgs #FinalFantasy youtu.be/joDXWCNf-JM?...

🎉 For Zell's birthday 🎉 Artwork of his appearances in different games, the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game, and Magic: The Gathering.

So who else has checked out the #NintendoSwitch2 "Boost Mode" update for the Switch 1 games? I played Nier Automata while getting ready for bed last night and I thought it looked great. #gamingsky

I may regret wading into the DLSS 5 discourse, but, GPUs should stick to producing the best possible image quality, without changing anything about the art direction of a game. Yassifying characters is gross. And the lighting changes in the Oblivion Remastered demo they showed are unconscionable.

Super Metroid has been added to Nintendo Music

We aren't saying you HAVE to sign up for the Kiln beta, or that you should share this with your friends and make them sign up for the beta too, or that this would be a super good day to sign up... But we aren't NOT saying that, either? 👀 Come smash pots with us! doublefine.com/beta

I guess it has character?

I'm just a few days away from a mini vacation and I feel like I could just sleep the entire time. Been trying to find energy for some gaming the past few nights but ended up falling asleep. Going to lug the PS5 and Switch 2 on the trip when I have time to relax. #dadgamers #gamingsky

Taito announced Final Fantasy Tactics Miniature Figure Collection Vol.3, featuring three Chocobo variants (Yellow, Black, and Red) around 7 cm tall. www.xeznaff.com/post/new-mer...

Most mythographers agree the earliest phoenix tales in Greek literature derive from the Bennu bird, a creature in ancient Egyptian creation myths that lands on the first mound of the black, primordial waters. This is why the resurrected hideaway in FFXVI is located in Bennumere.

Clair Obscur: Expédition 33 - Battling Breeze goes Metal Composed by Lorien Testard

Finally getting a chance to relax after another long day. Going to jump in bed and turn on my Switch 2 a bit. Would have loved to celebrate the 31st anniversary of #ChronoTrigger 's original launch but it's still not on Nintendo's current console.

NEW: At GDC, Nintendo's designers didn't just explain the origins of Donkey Kong Bananza They showed how Nintendo's current top devs are influenced by Nintendo classics they played as kids. In this case DKB's producer loved Super Mario Bros' breakable world 1-2 www.gamefile.news/p/nintendo-d...

Chrono Trigger for the Super Famicom was released on this day in Japan, 31 years ago (1995) #retro #art #gaming #ChronoTrigger

Quoted for truth! And I'm asking this seriously - beyond going independent on Substack or Ko-fi or the like, how can we fix this? I used to be a games website editor and director, but even in the late 90s it was hard to make any money doing it unless you pulled in huge numbers!

A Lego PlayStation is reportedly coming later this year. https://ow.ly/9CIP50YsjUT

“Do not work” notices were sent out for Mega Man: Dual Override by SAG earlier today.

I built the app I needed: one place to write. No more opening separate apps for your world bible, your map, or your timeline. Iron Bind puts it all in one offline workspace so you never lose your flow. No servers. All local. Beta open for Web & Android: ironbind.app/signup #writingcommunity

The Tower of Babel is a biblical allegory about mankind being punished and scattered by God for its hubris in trying to reach Heaven. In FFXVI, the Sagespire is a tower where the Fallen tried to unlock the secrets of the gods, leading to the collapse of their civilisation. #FinalFantasymythology

Finally!

LEGO Super Mario Minifigures coming in 2027

I was planning on making a #MAR10day post during lunch today but then I got hooked into season 2 of One Piece on Netflix.

Watching the Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct in rush hour traffic. 😮‍💨
