While 2016 has certainly been a year for the history books, it was a fantastic year to be a gamer.

And though … More Top 5 Video Games of 2016
10 Years. That’s how long it’s been since Final Fantasy XV was announced.

Moogles, Chocobos, ridiculous airships, even more ridiculous hairstyles, and some really big swords are just a few examples of some ideas that have for better or worse helped define the franchise.

Summer is over. Which means that it’s time to head back to school. If you’re like me and are long past your school days, you might look back at it with some form of nostalgia.
