In other Final Fantasy news.
Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Final Fantasy, will be honored for his contributions to the gaming industry with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 15th Annual Game Developers Choice (GDC) Awards in March. He’s come a long way from his days working on the first Final Fantasy game back in the mid–80’s. The game’s title was a direct nod to Sakaguchi’s plan to leave the gaming world had Final Fantasy not been a success. The game revolutionized the RPG genre and the series as a whole has sold more than 110 million units worldwide. It has also received 7 Guinness World Records. So it’s safe to say Final Fantasy has been successful.
Sakaguchi has produced some of the most influential franchises in the gaming world, including Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve and Kingdom Hearts. According to Meggan Scavio, General Manager of all GDC events: “Over his illustrious and thriving career, Sakaguchi–san has… helped cement the RPG genre in Japan and around the world. But the gaming world owes an even greater debt to Sakaguchi–san and team for making a compelling game narrative as important to game development as its graphics and sound.”
As exciting as all this news is, the release of Final Fantasy XV is still a way off. Do you need a FF fix now? Well we’ve gathered the best of the best Final Fantasy cosplayers to bring the adventure from the various worlds of this universe to life. So, take a stroll through video game memory lane and revisit all your favorites from Final Fantasy’s gone by as you relish the anticipation of the latest installment to come.

“Agent Carter” is the latest Marvel Comics based show to hit the airwaves.
Picking up where the Captain America: The First Avenger movie left off, we find ourselves back in the 1940’s following the life of Peggy Carter after losing Steve Rogers (a.k.a. “Captain America”). Set in 1946, it is a period still trying to come to terms with the idea of the

Leapin’ Lizards!
They look like tiny versions of dinosaur ancestors who have survived into our age, like sharks and crocodiles, but actually they are of a separate evolution and not related. They have scary devil–mask faces, many even sporting horns—but actually, most species are quite human–friendly and can make affectionate pets.
Their endless variations in skin coloring and tattoo–like designs are what draw the artists’ and photographers’ eyes. The chameleons even “change clothes” all day long, wanting to always be wearing the appropriate colors for the “

Rise From the Dead
“Where are tonight the sword and its swinger, the holy spells and their singer? Where is the light to scatter the ghosts, the sight of dawn to shatter the frost? Fears can be hidden, and hearts’ fire kindled, but will shadows be caged and demons faced? The curses of liches linger like winds of winter, and wolves howl a hymn for the undead's hunt… who will be safe from the grim reaper’s swing, and who will fall in its grip?”
