The Final Fantasy series has only recently started to be a solid presence on Steam, with Square Enix releasing some of the older entries of the series as well as the Final Fantasy XIII games on Valve’s digital marketplace since last year.

Next month fans of the series playing on PC will be able to enjoy another entry of the series. Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, the sequel to the classic Final Fantasy IV featuring characters of the original game as well as new ones, will be released on Steam on May 12th.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years PC will be based on the iOS and Android versions of the game, which are full 3D remakes of the original mobile and Wii releases. The game will feature all the content of the smartphone release as well as Steam Achievements and Trading Cards. An announcement trailer has also been released today, you can check it out by going at the end of this post.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years has originally been released on Japanese mobile phones years ago, before receiving PlayStation Portable and Wii ports and a full 3D remake released on iOS and Android not too long ago. The game is divided into several different chapters focusing on different characters like newcomer Ceodore, the son of Cecil and Rosa, the Summoner Rydia, the martial artist Yang, the ninja Edge, the bard Edward and others. The final chapter of the game brings all the characters together, allowing players to choose which ones they want to bring in the final dungeon to fight and defeat the final boss.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years doesn’t play all that differently from its predecessor, with players exploring the game’s towns and dungeons and battle a variety of monsters in true Japanese role playing game fashion. The battle system is the same one found in Final Fantasy IV, enhanced with some new features that make it feel a bit different, like Band attacks,  special techniques that can be performed by two or more characters. The game also uses a lunar phases system which alter physical and magical attacks for both the party and enemies.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years will be released on Steam on May 12th.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
