RandomNPC – Video Game RPG Reviews, Editorials, and Features

THQ doesn’t publish RPGs. Thus, I can accept this XBox 360 I just won at their booth with no question to my jounalistic integrity. Here’s a super-cute Final Fantasy game.

Final Fantasy: 4 Warriors of Light for Nintendo DS, published by Square Enix this October 5th. The demo seemed to believe “4WoL” meant “the 4th wall,” which they disregarded in favor of getting the player familiar with the mechanics. The design is simple and cute, but the experience doesn’t skimp on depth; 24 hats for 24 jobs, each upgradable (up to three times) for new abilities and skills. Battle uses classic turn-based style with the en vogue AP mechanics.
