Final Fantasy is likely the most popular Japanese RPG series globally, or certainly one of the biggest. As the series approaches its 40th anniversary, let’s explore the gameplay features that made it so influential and consider what the future holds.
While the battle between Jinwoo and the Ant King was a strong contender for the best anime fight of 2025, the recent ‘Ragnarok’ arc in Solo Leveling is even more impressive. Currently unfolding is the ‘S Rank Gate Raid,’ which feels like a revamped version of the Jeju Island Arc, but this time focusing on Jinwoo’s son, Sung Suho.
When you first arrive at Lake Sanaru, you’ll see an enemy ship on your left – you can choose to fight them if you like. However, to continue your search for the Master, keep going up the road, past the first shrine. After you reach the Lake Sanaru (North) Shrine, head west along the path until you find a Spirit Vein. You won’t be able to access this Spirit Vein until you advance the main story during the mission called “The Fall of Edo Castle” (which takes place during the Edo Period).
It’s understandable to be disappointed with Kratos’ appearance in God of War: Sons of Sparta. His look in the original trilogy and the Norse games – the pale skin, chained blades, and powerful build – is iconic. Fans naturally expected to see something similar. However, the game’s version feels like a simple re-skin of the classic character. But this isn’t just a matter of poor design; it’s a deliberate choice that aligns with the established story. While it might not be what players expected, Kratos’ new design actually fits the context of Sons of Sparta.
The final arc of One Piece promises intense battles between the most powerful characters, giving fans a chance to see them unleash their full potential. In Chapter 1174, creator Eiichiro Oda introduced what many believe to be the series’ new strongest character: Loki, the notorious prince of Elbaf.
The Double-Barred Finch can be found at the Fishing Village Lighthouse in Heartopia. But you’ll need to reach Level 3 in the Bird Watching Hobby before it appears. If your hobby level is lower than 3, the bird won’t show up, even if you keep checking the lighthouse.
As a big Harry Potter fan, I’m so excited about the new series! I recently saw something from the actor playing the new Draco Malfoy, and it’s got me really intrigued. It’ll be interesting to see how Lox Pratt, who’s 14, does in the role, especially following Tom Felton’s iconic performance. The best news, though, is that the actor playing Draco has said the show will do a better job with the Malfoy family than the movies did, and that’s a huge relief!
The argument over whether James Bond or John Wick would win in a fight probably won’t be decided by upcoming video games, but those games will definitely add to the conversation. Currently, the John Wick game doesn’t have a release date, while the 007 First Light game is planned for May 27, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. If the John Wick game is delayed until next year, 007 First Light might gain an advantage in this ‘battle.’ But the bigger question remains: who will ultimately come out on top?
Let’s explore six characters who could have significantly heightened the story’s ending. Some were already driven by strong motivations, others were purely malicious and aimed to hurt the heroes, and still others, though harmless, possessed the potential to become incredibly powerful villains with a different path.
A new Resident Evil game has come out every year starting in 2019, with 2024 being the only exception so far. The releases began with the Resident Evil 2 remake in 2019, then Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil: Resistance in 2020. Resident Evil Village (also known as Resident Evil 8) followed in 2021, and Resident Evil Re: Verse came out in 2022, though it’s no longer available. Fans finally got the Resident Evil 4 remake in 2023, and 2025 saw the release of Resident Evil: Survival Unit, a popular strategy game for mobile devices.
