Leap day is now upon us and a couple of games aren't happy about this sudden affront to their usual calendar expectations. Both EA Sports WRC and Theatrhythm Final Bar Line are currently protesting at the arrival of 29th February by refusing to function on consoles — but, luckily for rally fans and beat tappers, there's a pretty straightforward workaround.
Theatrhythm Final Bar Line players noticed the Final Fantasy-themed PS4 and Switch rhythm game was failing to connect to Square Enix's servers after the clock struck midnight heralding the arrival 29th February, leaving it functionally unplayable.
Similarly, EA took to social media earlier today to acknowledge Codemasters' World Championship Rally was encountering an «issue on console in which the game may crash on startup.» And while it didn't explicitly blame the problem on today's leap year, the publisher's follow-up solution makes it clear 29th February is the culprit.
Van Halen — Jump (Official Music Video) Happy leap day!In both cases, the workaround is thankfully simple, merely requiring users to manually nudge their system's clock forward to 1st March. If you don't know how to do that, EA's support has detailed the steps for Xbox and PlayStation in a series of tweets — and while Square is yet to publicly acknowledge the issues affecting Theatrhythm, the solution (as confirmed by Vooks) is exactly the same. We call this the Resetti Manoeuvre.
So there you go; leap day disaster averted. Will Square Enix and EA have fixes in place to stop a repeat incident next time around? We'll know in four years.
Square Enix is launching an entirely new currency for Final Fantasy XIV on Xbox Series X|S.
The Xbox Series X/S version of Final Fantasy 14 will introduce an Xbox-only currency this week.
As Final Fantasy 14 prepares to launch on Xbox Series X/S, Square Enix has revealed that Xbox console players will need to use a new currency called the «FFXIV Coin» to pay for services and optional items. Square Enix then stated the new currency is exclusive to Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox consoles, but did not state all the services it would be used for.
The Epic Games Store's spring sale is underway, from today until March 28th. That makes it twice as long as Steam's spring sale, which also started today. I'm not sure if that makes it twice as exciting, but here's what does: Deus Ex Mankind Divided is free to keep for the next week.
With the launch of Final Fantasy 14 on Xbox Series X/S just days away, Microsoft and Square Enix revealed a custom Xbox Series X console and controller as part of a giveaway. One lucky winner will receive a new Xbox hardware bundle, the Final Fantasy 14 Complete Collector's Edition, and a year-long Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership.
We’ll say this up front for those of you still exploring Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s vast world: there are no late-game story spoilers here. As seen in its pre-release debut via a new trailer late last year, the action RPG’s theme song “No Promises to Keep” is performed in-game by Aerith. Behind the scenes though, the track was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, the legendary composer behind the iconic soundtracks for much of the Final Fantasy series, including Final Fantasy VII Remake. The song’s vocals were performed by American singer Loren Allred, who brought her spellbinding singing voice to the track, augmenting the beautiful—yet tragic—world of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the epic story told within it.
Akira Toriyama, the mangaka whose work in video games included designing the characters for two of the most influential RPGs ever made, Chrono Trigger and Dragon Quest, on top of creating one of the most influential series across all of pop-culture in Dragon Ball, has passed away.
In the coming days, Final Fantasy 14 will host the annual Little Ladies' Day and Hatching-Tide holidays as a special, combined event for players to participate in. Though March will be a busy time for Final Fantasy 14 players, those who complete a limited-time quest as part of these holidays will receive a new mount for their effort.
After years of anticipation, Final Fantasy 14 is at last set to launch on Xbox Series X and S on March 21. If you're a new player checking out the MMO for the first time, however, you need to understand that there's a big caveat to a special deal that Xbox is offering for Game Pass subscribers.
A week after JRPG fans noted that Octopath Traveler was no longer available on the Nintendo Switch eShop, Square Enix says it's working on a fix.
With Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth finally available for the PS5 almost four years after the first part, all eyes are now on the final part in the trilogy. Creative director Tetsuya Nomura confirmed development had begun in June 2022, while director Naoki Hamaguchi said last month that the script is making progress.
Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are two masterfully made retellings of the classic PlayStation RPG from 1997. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the second entry in the Remake project and continues where the previous title left off, hopefully bringing answers to questions posed with it. Not only is this new sequel a nostalgic experience for veterans of the 90s original, but Square Enix has crafted it to be another perfect spot for newcomers to join Cloud and the gang.
