‘Star Ocean’ Characters Join ‘Final Fantasy Brave Exvius’ in a Limited-Time Event

The world of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius (Free) is colliding with that of Star Ocean: Anamnesis (Free) in a new collaboration event. This event includes your chance at recruiting five Star Ocean characters and a community event. Both games are original free-to-play titles based on the popular Square Enix franchises each shares a name with; Final Fantasy Brave Exvius launched in North America July of 2016, with Star Ocean: Anamnesis being released this past month. That makes it a great time for a crossover event!

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius‘ story mode follows a young man named Rain who is struggling to live up to his father’s legacy. More importantly, his party can consist of a combination of the few original characters to the game, past Final Fantasy characters, and characters from other franchises obtained during past events. The game can seem bland at times, and Shaun rated it a relatively low 3.5, but the events can really enhance the experience. The NieR event was a personal favourite of mine, although I know many went nuts over the Ariana Grande event(s).

During this collaborative event, Star Ocean characters Fayt, Rena, Fidel, and Roddick are available via a featured summon. Fayt and Rena both appeared in the Japanese version of Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, but this is the first time they are available to players worldwide. The fifth event character, Reimi, can be earned via a raid summon.

Aside from new characters, a new raid event is open in the dimensional vortex during the collaboration event: battle Jie Revorse, the original Star Ocean villain. Earning raid points will allow players to unlock rewards based on the number. Five million boss kills will get you a 4-star Trust Moogle (5% all), seven million kills will get you one EX Rare Summon Ticket, and 10 million kills will get you 500 lapis.

This event is clearly meant to bring more eyes to Star Ocean: Anamnesis, but it’s a nice bonus to have some beloved Star Ocean characters join your party in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. Star Ocean: Anamnesis is also a free-to-play title, this time putting the playing in the captain’s seat to lead a handful of heroes across the galaxy. The team is made up of characters seen before in the franchise. Whereas Final Fantasy Brave Exvius has turn-based gameplay, Star Ocean: Anamnesis puts the focus on real-time combat. It is currently available in a limited number of countries (United States, Canada, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand), with more being considered.

The collaboration event takes place in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, beginning today and running through August 9, 2018.

Dead Space 4 would've dropped linear gameplay for a pseudo open world

Visceral Games is dead and that almost certainly means that Dead Space  is dead. The talented EA subsidiary made a name for itself with Dante's Inferno  and the Dead Space franchise -- the latter much more than the former. Toward the end of Visceral's history, EA had the studio working on ventures that should've been more profitable: Battlefield  and Star Wars . Neither worked out particularly well and that's all she wrote. That doesn't stop us from wondering what could've been with regard to another Dead Space  game. Eurogamer chatted with former Visceral creative director Ben Wanat (now at Crystal Dynamics) to get a better idea of what might've been in store for a fourth installment. One thing is abundantly clear: Visceral had ideas. Maybe the most stark departure that Wanat mentions is that Dead Space 4  would've likely pivoted away from a linear, chapter-based structure. Instead, Wanat describes something that sounds like a pseudo open world. &q

Epic quickly nerfs the new 'Fortnite' SMG after complaints

Image
The v5.10 Fortnite update that brought back our beloved Playground mode also added something else -- this new gun. Unfortunately, the "high capacity, fast firing Compact SMG" was just a little too overpowered, and many high-profile players quickly complained that it made the game a race to get the SMG so one could chew through their enemies (and their buildings, as the starting and max health of many materials dropped at the same time). While Epic has been up front about wanting to make the endgame more exciting and less focused on build-offs as it pushes for esports viability , this particular tweak may have gone too far. As a result, the company quickly lowered the accuracy, range and damage done by the new gun and existing SMGs. Check below for the (now-live) adjusted SMG values, and a few clips of the gun at work as it existed prior to the nerf.
