FFVII Ever Crisis Tifa and Aerith FFXIII Lightning Weapons Shared As part of the Final Fantasy series crossover in FFVII Ever Crisis, we already knew Tifa and Aerith would get outfits based on Lightning’s appearance in the original FFXIII . Now we know exactly what the two weapons will look like as well. They’ll both debut in-game via the gacha at 7pm PT/10pm ET on October 29, 2025. This comes after we got a closer look at the event storyline and costumes for both characters in a trailer last week . For this crossover, Tifa gets Lightning’s Gloves and Aerith can wield Lightning’s Rod. The former is a more offensive weapon, while the latter is designed to support the team. We don’t know every ability they possess just yet. But Lightning’s Gloves come with the Army of Strikes Ice-based C Ability that hits one foe, inflicting Ice Resist Down and 1,340% Magic Ice Damage to an opponent. It can also give her the Exploit Weakness buff if her health is over 70%. Lightning’s Rod’s Enhancing Rose will heal allies for up to 7% of healing potency and gives every ally a Magical Damage bonus. It also includes a buff if her health is over 70%, and though that applies to all allies’ PDEF instead of just Aerith’s. The first time you use that C Ability, it also boosts Aerith’s Command Gauge. Here are the two infographic images showing what the Aerith and Tifa Lightning weapons based on FFXIII look like in FFVII Ever Crisis: Images via Square Enix While these won’t be available until later tonight, there is a new Angeal Halloween 2025 weapon and outfit available. The Ghost Ensis sword with the Rock Swarm C Ability is in the gacha until November 5, 2025. There’s also a Ghost Robe gear costume for him with a Ghostly Spirit that increases his PDEF and MDEF and Boost Earth Potency (All Allies) that increases everyone’s Earth damage R Abilities. Here’s the trailer for that: https://twitter.com/FFVII_EC_EN/status/1981601548443795963 Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis is available for PCs and mobile devices, Final Fantasy XIII is on the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, and the FFXIII crossover comes to the FFVII spin-off on October 29, 2025.

Cyrene Moveset Detailed Ahead of Honkai: Star Rail Debut HoYoVerse shared details about how the moveset for Cyrene will work on HoYoLab and released a new “Keeping Up with Star Rail” trailer that shows gameplay footage of each of those attacks. Specifically, it shows how her unique traits allow her to increase everyone’s damage just for being on the team on the field and that her Verse Vow Ultimate both summons a Memosprite and lets every other ally use their Ultimates. While Cyrene will work with everyone in Honkai: Star Rail and her moveset features abilities and attacks to help everyone, there are special buffs for other Chrysos Heir characters. Her Memosprite’s This Ode, to All Lives will buff people who are part of that group. But if someone isn’t, it just buffs their DMG. Due to the nature of her, due to her buffs and possible zone, there are two versions of her base attack. One is Lo, Hope Takes Flight that deals Ice damage to one enemy and gives her a Recollection point. If it’s enhanced to the basic attack To Love and Tomorrow, she deals Ice damage to one foe first, then to all enemies, and restores Recollection points, but won’t recharge a Skill Point when used. Her skill is the supportive one. It is called Bloom, Elysium of Beyond. When used, there’s a zone around everyone that increases the amount of damage they do and does “1 additional instance of True damage.” It is only available for a set number of turns and while Cyrene is around. Cyrene’s Ultimate is Verse Vow. Once used, her basic attack becomes To Love and Tomorrow for a limited time. Her Memosprite appears, and both her and its critical rate will be higher. Her zone returns to increase everyone’s damage and offer True damage. Everyone else’s Ultimate will also refill and be ready to use. However, due to the nature of it, it can only be used once per battle. Here’s the “Keeping Up with Star Rail - Cyrene: A Blank Verse for the Future” Honkai: Star Rail trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X68ZVWb0G4s Honkai: Star Rail is available on the PS5, PC, and mobile devices, and the Cyrene banner will arrive on November 5, 2025 and last until December 16, 2025 .

Review: Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Renews the Legend I was somewhat surprised when Square Enix announced it would give Dragon Quest III the HD-2D Remake treatment before the first two games. In a series where connections between installments are often loose at best, the first three entries have a surprisingly tightly-woven narrative. Rereleasing them out of order felt rather strange, even if it fit the in-game chronology. Aside from story concerns, the first two Dragon Quest games are significantly simpler affairs than the third. Would people really be satisfied going back to Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake after experiencing the third? Part of my assumption rested on the idea that Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake would handle things in a similar manner as the third. While that game featured a number of small additions, it mostly stuck to the proverbial script. Had Square Enix done the same with the first two, I'm not sure how I would be feeling about the whole thing. That's not what the company did, however. No, it took the word "remake" very seriously with Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake . Even if you've played these games, you haven't played these versions. Screenshot by Siliconera Square Enix gave the two games a similar treatment to Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake in terms of presentation. The lovely HD-2D graphics, the sumptuous symphonic soundtracks, hefty voice acting, and easy-to-use interface with plenty of quality of life features buff the appeal of these classics. The maps have new secret spots and stashes to seek out, giving you an extra incentive to explore them fully. You can choose from a selection of difficulty settings, and there are a number of assists you can make use of should you so desire. This is more or less what you would expect from this release if you played Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake , though. When you start the game up, you can choose which of the two you want to play. I would advise starting with the first, but if you want to jump ahead you can do so. Should you begin with the original game, it doesn't take long for it to show off its differences from previous releases. There are new characters and sub-quests, and the overall progression is more linear thanks to some adjustments to the world map. It goes a lot easier on the player initially, but heats up quite a bit more in the long run. There are tons of monsters in the game that were not there originally, and you'll have to deal with groups of them despite being a party of one. Luckily, you get a lot of new gear, abilities, and magic to help even the odds. Screenshot by Siliconera The second game feels even further expanded, particularly with regards to its story. There's even an entirely new party member who largely manages to avoid feeling too shoehorned-in. Early though Dragon Quest II may have been in the history of the genre, it packs a lot more meat on its bones than the first game. This remake takes full advantage of that, and the results are impressive. It's like every bit of terse storytelling from the original work has been fully fleshed out, and all of the implied pathos is now quite explicit. I don't think anyone would confuse this remake of Dragon Quest II for a modern RPG, but you'd be hard-pressed to finger this as being based on a 1987 game if you didn't already know. On top of that, Square Enix has honored its intention to make the new release order work in a narrative sense. Dragon Quest III served as the original climax of the trilogy, with an exciting conclusion that tied the three games together. It's now Dragon Quest II 's job to see the trilogy's story off, and things have been reworked to make it the grand conclusion it needs to be. Some of the original identity of the game is lost in that process, but I think it makes sense for this project. In a lot of ways, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is an ideal outcome for a remake. The original games are still out there, but this release offers such different takes on both that it's more than worthy to stand alongside them. Screenshot by Siliconera Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is available for Nintendo Switch & Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam .

Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Gets Broly and Golden Frieza DLC This Week Bandai Namco shared the release date for the Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Future Saga Chapter 3 DLC, which includes the DB Super version of Broly and Ultra Supervillain Golden Frieza. It will launch for every platform on October 30, 2025. A trailer also appeared showing what we can expect from the new characters. Previously, another trailer showed visual novel and dating sim-like elements with Broly and Cheelai . The video basically confirms some of the things we already knew would be part of this add-on while also hintinga t some others. That new storyline shown in the other trailer is the “Cheelai & Broly All Out! Conton City Patrol” scenario we can experience. That’s teased a bit at the start of the clip. Then we get to see Broly ( DB Super ) and Golden Frieza (Ultra Supervillain) segments. Once those parts are done, the additional Parallel Quests, Conton City Ruins stage, extra costumes and accessories, loading screen illustrations, additional moves, and Super Souls are teased. The announcement also closes with a tease that Future Saga Chapter 4 is on the way. Here’s the full Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Future Saga Chapter 3 trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtxSegpS7TI We saw a few other new characters join Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 in 2025 ahead of Broly and Golden Frieza. Back in May 2025 , there was a Dragon Ball Daima pack. That added Super Saiyan 4 Goku ( Daima ), Super Saiyan 3 Vegeta ( Daima ). It costs $7.99. However, as the Future Saga Chapter 1 pack was $19.99 and Chapter 2 was $9.99, we can’t be sure how much Chapter 3 will be until launch day. Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 is available for the Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the Future Saga Chapter 3 DLC will debut on October 30, 2025.

Firefly, aka S.A.M., is in a sort of status, with Silver Wolf overlooking her care and saying she did all she could. Kafka and Elio are sitting and watching Amphoreus, showing that team was nearby during the latest Honkai: Star Rail events. Kafka then goes over possible futures that hint at what could happen on Amphoreus based on the Trailblazer and Cyrene’s choices and what might happen to the universe as a whole depending on where the Astral Express goes next. She then points out that they are down to two possible endings for Amphoreus, highlighting that there could be a huge cost either way. That video then closes with Kafka, Silver Wolf, Blade, and Elios being shown, as well as a hint that we’ll see that crew meet the Astral Express folks in 4.0.
