Video Games - The Forgotten Art Ask any major in the fine arts for the definition of art. They're likely to tell you that it is self-expression through the use of some sort of medium. Most commonly thought of are clay for a sculpture, paint for a masterpiece, even music notes for a four-movement suite. The last thing you'd think of is a computer program for a video game.

Nina Freeman is an indie developer that has been making these short little autobiographical vignettes or how she refers to them based on a true story game. Some are pretty silly and other are serious but most meet in the middle of those two but they are all honest about the topics that they are covering without sugar coating it.

When Final Fantasy XII released for PlayStation 2 in early 2006, the game sought to introduce a new style of play and to revolutionize the long-running franchise. To achieve this extraordinary task, Square Enix had to break the conventions of Final Fantasy – like by introducing a real-time combat system, and bet on an original and risky concept.

Cen’s ears flicked, while she wasn’t sure that the Archmage had heard his growl, she did. It was something she knew very well, though hoped that he behaved. Her words stayed sweet and polite, sounding a little different from when she normally spoke hoping Kari might recognize the act “ Yes, even with enchantments it’s still dangerous, for not only us but for you as well, technically. I believe we’re both enemies of your new leader, yes?” Her words were to the point but still said in a jovial manor

The project, originally titled as Final Fantasy XIII - Versus, initially began development in 2006. It was planned as a spin-off to the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy XIII; however, the idea was scrapped, and then picked up and rebranded as it’s own stand-alone title in 2012: Final Fantasy XV.

Use The Force, Nameless Character Originally released exclusively for the PC in 2011 as the simply titled Q.U.B.E., Q.U.B.E: Director’s Cut is the official re-release of the game, this time coming to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Wii U, and even iOS.
