Etrian Odyssey IV Has Best Demo EverJanuary 22nd, 2013 by Markham Asylum
If you’re anything like me, you avoid demos because they’re usually a disconnected slice that doesn’t give you a true taste of what’s to come. Even when they let you experience the opening and play the first areas without removing key features, everything you do will have to be repeated once you get the full game. Weak. ATLUS figured it out, though, with the upcoming demo for Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan.

When anyone asks what happens to your pride, try not to let them see your tears when you say, “It fell down the stairs.” Final Fantasy: All the Bravest shows up in NZ App StoreJanuary 16th, 2013 by Fade to Slack
ATB, for the uninitiated, is also the acronym for the “Active Time Battle” system that was originated in Final Fantasy IV and has since become synonymous with the Final Fantasy series. While most roleplaying games, including Final Fantasy up until that point, used turn-based battles, the turns in active time battles were managed based upon a speed statistic. The faster the character is, the quicker they’ll be ready to strike again. Stronger skills and spells could have longer casting durations. Many of you don’t know the horrors of the turn-based battles of Final Fantasy. You don’t know how lucky you are. Those who do know that they were, for lack of a better word, ineffective. Here’s Square Enix’s description from the App Store: FINAL FANTASY ALL THE BRAVEST—A pick-up-and-go RPG with massive battles!
