If I may put on my best infomercial voice — has this ever happened to you? You pull out your keys to open your door or start your car and then sigh due to the lack of colorful keychains adorning it. “If only I had ones that replicated the box…
Few news pieces offer as much fuel for directionless speculation as trademark renewals, which often could mean something as little as “the business is just doing its usual paperwork, don’t think too deeply about it” to “THEY ARE ABOUT TO ANNOUNCE EVERY GAME.” Though in this case, I would put…

On December 18th, 2022, it’ll have been 35 years since Final Fantasy first hit the Famicom in Japan. Square Enix has already marked the occasion a few times with the announcements of the likes of Chocobo GP, Stranger of Paradise, and even a fancy new logo, but it looks like…
