Myth, Magic and Chocobos - The Evolution of Final Fantasy (Part 1)

7/3/2014

By Daniel Lamb

In the beginning, there was Hironobu Sakaguchi. And he said, ‘Let there be Light Warriors!’ And thus began one of the most critically acclaimed, influential, and best-selling video game franchises of all time.

The beginning in this case was 1987, the year that the very first Final Fantasy game was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is no exaggeration to say that gaming would never be the same again. Spanning generations, consoles, and a host of fantastical worlds, the story of Final Fantasy and its remarkable evolution is a story well worth recounting.

E3 is reaching its end, but thanks to Ubisoft we have been left with serious hints as to the future of Assassin's Creed. With the series making its next-gen debut this October with Unity, I'm taking the opportunity to take a detailed look back at one of the franchise's most lesser-played titles.

Originally unveiled as Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation and released exclusively to the PS Vita in 2012, this game is arguably one of the obscurer entries into the series. It features a female Assassin named Aveline who – exerting all of her skills in combat, disguise and infiltration – must expose a conspiracy concerning slaves in her hometown of New Orleans.

6/7/2014

Everyone is clear on what a reboot entails.

Just take games that are years old and give them a new lease on life through completely refreshing the storyline or adding new elements to the gameplay. Ideally a reboot will aim at keeping fans of the already existing franchise interested in the new iteration, while also attracting a new fan base to get involved in the series. Whether this actually happens though is another story altogether.

The standards were set inexplicably high during that first reveal, with so many hoping that the promised game was truly going to herald the next gaming generation.

It's been seven months since Ubisoft last unleashed an Assassin's Creed game, which it seems has become an annual ritual for them. With two new installments on the horizon with AC: Unity and AC: Comet, it's time to take a look back on ACIV: Black Flag which, to me, is the very best of the Assassin's Creed series so far.
