Over the weekend, Square Enix held a live Star Ocean event in Japan that brought together fans of the RPG series with creators and voice actors for a day of livestreamed festivities. Fans hoping to get news on a new Star Ocean for consoles had their hopes dashed, though, as the spotlight was firmly pointed on the mobile game.

As a fan of JRPGs, I find that this pivot to mobile has become frustratingly common.

The sad decline of the Mana series has been difficult to watch, and it's equally unfortunate that its spiritual successor Ever Oasis suffers from similar problems -- solid action RPG mechanics and moments of creative brilliance hampered by an experimental gameplay structure that drags everything down with it.

When the Seiken Densetsu Collection, the first three games in the Mana series, was released earlier this month in Japan, it did not come with instruction manuals. So Square Enix has decided to change that by releasing them online.

Here's a nice little surprise for RPG fans who don't like touch controls: Adventures of Mana, the Final Fantasy Adventure remake that came out earlier this year for smartphones, is now on Vita.

This week, Square Enix released Adventures of Mana, a remake of the classic Game Boy action-role-playing game Final Fantasy Adventure. Like many of Square's other mobile games, it's both A) pricey and B) excellent.

A few pivotal matches played out this morning at the Starcraft 2 WCS Season 3 in Poland, including performances from Australia's iaguz and New Zealand's Petraeus, the latter of which got the furthest our region has ever been in the competition.
