Final Factory has already impressed via a couple of demos. It’s effectively ‘Factorio in space’: you construct space bases by chaining together machinery, protect by commanding ships and turrets to fight off alien invaders, then explore the galaxy to secure more resources.
It’s now got an Early Access release date: April 9th.
We’ll say this up front for those of you still exploring Final Fantasy VII Rebirth’s vast world: there are no late-game story spoilers here. As seen in its pre-release debut via a new trailer late last year, the action RPG’s theme song “No Promises to Keep” is performed in-game by Aerith. Behind the scenes though, the track was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, the legendary composer behind the iconic soundtracks for much of the Final Fantasy series, including Final Fantasy VII Remake. The song’s vocals were performed by American singer Loren Allred, who brought her spellbinding singing voice to the track, augmenting the beautiful—yet tragic—world of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the epic story told within it.
The two musicians sat down for an exclusive interview to delve into the behind-the-scenes stories of the creation of this celebrated ballad, inspired by Aerith.
Nobuo Uematsu
Nobuo Uematsu is a Japanese composer whose prominent career started in 1986 when he joined Square, a Tokyo-based video game studio. During his 18 years of tenure as a composer for Square, he contributed to many game scores, including the Final Fantasy series, Final Fantasy Legend, and Chrono Trigger. In 2004, he left Square to establish his own production companies, SMILE PLEASE and Dog Ear Records, where he continued to work on various game music projects. In 2020, Uematsu composed a theme song for Final Fantasy VII Remake, which won the Japan Gold Disc Award for “Soundtrack Album of the Year.” Besides his renowned game scores, he has entered a new realm of global success by producing and directing orchestra world tours. More recently, he has held Nobuo Uematsu conTIKI SHOW, featuring various style performances by Nobuo Uematsu himself and his band, a live performance by his band, and a live reading of “The Story of Blik-O,” an original work for which he wrote both the story and the music.
Loren Allred
Loren Allred is a singer and songwriter who gained acclaim for her astounding vocal performance of the multi-platinum song “Never Enough” from the Oscar-nominated and Grammy award-winning “The Greatest Showman” soundtrack and film. Although she wasn’t a familiar face to the public, in April 2022, Loren appeared on Britain’s Got Talent, where she performed “Never Enough” and received a Golden Buzzer, sending shockwaves throughout the industry. Loren is widely regarded as one of the industry’s greatest voices and has collaborated with Michael Bublé and toured globally with recording legends Andrea Bocelli and David Foster.
Uematsu knew Allred’s singing voice was “it”
PlayStation Blog: As you composed the theme songs of both Remake and Rebirth, what are your feelings about having to work on Final Fantasy VII scores today?
Uematsu: The original Final Fantasy VII was released 27 years ago. I highly doubt that the music from my 30s will resonate with fans today. So, I feel very grateful to be invited back to work on the game scores. Very fortunate, indeed.
To compose “No Promises to Keep,” what kind of communication did you have with the creative director, Tetsuya Nomura, and the scenario writer, Kazushige Nojima?
Uematsu: I think the three of us unanimously had a predetermined vision to go with a ballad. Since I am typically inclined to write ballads, I was hoping for a ballad as it would allow me to create melodies as my heart desired. And it turned out everyone was on the same page. As we watched a provisional scene of Aerith singing, the three of us agreed a classic ballad would be a perfect fit.
Did Mr. Nomura make any specific requests for the song?
Uematsu: No, not really, since we all agreed on a ballad fairly smoothly. However, he did say that he wanted Loren Allred to sing the theme song.
What was your first impression after hearing Loren’s singing voice?
Uematsu: Although I didn’t know her name at that time, I immediately knew she was “it” when I heard her voice. Then I listened to “Never Enough” from “The Greatest Showman” and thought, “She is great. She’s the one we’re looking for!” But we couldn’t get ahead of ourselves because this was before we even contacted her and knew she’d be on board.
What was the inspiration behind No Promises to Keep?
Uematsu: Since it is a ballad, I wanted to make it absolutely electrifying. I was asked to make the song so that the key phrase would play in repetition, and that’s when Harry Nilsson’s “Without You” came to mind. I took inspiration from it and decided to repeat a key phrase in the chorus.
Loren: “Without You” is one of my favorite songs.
Uematsu: Mine, too. But it turned out that no one repeated the key phrases in the lyrics after all [laughs].
Does that mean you started composing the music without Mr. Nojima’s lyrics?
Uematsu: That’s correct. I first composed the melody and gave it to Mr. Nojima and the team. From there, they came up with the lyrics. When I was writing the song, I wanted to make the song memorable and catchy, the same key phrase being repeated again and again.
Loren: So, even though you (Mr. Uematsu) didn’t write the lyrics, you had already envisioned a structure where the chorus would be repeated to make the song more pop?
Uematsu: Yes. I thought repeating key phrases would make the song catchy.
Loren: Cool! That’s interesting!
Mutual trust: how they overcame challenges during recording
So, Loren, please tell us how you felt when Square Enix contacted you.
Loren: It was two years ago when I received an email from Square Enix. However, the message was very vague. I immediately started looking and learned that it was for a game title and that it was a song by Mr. Uematsu. I was already familiar with his work, and I was thrilled to learn that it was for the Final Fantasy franchise. As someone who knew about Aerith’s character growing up, this really meant a lot to me.
What was your prior impression of the Final Fantasy series?
Loren: Final Fantasy is a highly imaginative fantasy game series featuring very complex, engaging characters, and of course, I knew Mr. Uematsu was the composer. Both the story and music are essential aspects of the game.
Uematsu: I am happy you feel that way.
How did you feel when you first listened to “No Promises to Keep?”
Loren: The melody was very prominent. I could palpate sweet and epic moments of the story through the melody and feel the elevation of the song. I thought how amazing it would be to experience all these dynamic sensations in the game. Also, I knew this would be a paramount platform for Aerith to reflect her inner character through lyrics and express it to the fans, as it was her first time singing.
Uematsu: This is the first time I’ve heard this, and I’m glad she sensed exactly what we were aiming for. “No Promises to Keep” is a love song. I wanted it to exude a sweet feeling, but at the same time, evoke the complex feeling as Aerith confessed her feelings. I tried to build up the song as it climaxed, exactly as Loren described.
Loren: One of my initial thoughts was how challenging it would be to sing the song. As a vocalist, I find it easier to sing higher notes with an open mouth to produce the “aa” sound, but many lines of the song ended in the “ee” sound [laughs].
Uematsu: You’ll have to take that up with the English songwriter [laughs].
Was there anything you paid attention to when singing “No Promises to Keep”?
Loren: I wanted to get to know Aerith well, and I also wanted to depict her relationship with Cloud. So, for me to channel her fragile and pure personality, I needed to change certain elements of my natural vocals to match up with her character.
Loren: But I also enjoyed singing the band version* because it allowed me to be me, adding more riffs and fun things.
Uematsu: I agree with you. You seemed to have enjoyed singing the band version more. You nailed singing the orchestral version used in the game, but you were very lively when you were singing the band version. It was fascinating to watch you perform differently, and it made me happy to see two different versions of youself.
Loren: I have done similar work on “The Greatest Showman,” where I provided my singing voice for a character. So, in a way, both of these experiences are like acting. However, since I have my own style outside of movies and games, I’m humbled to hear that you also enjoyed my style of singing.
Were you, Mr. Uematsu, in the studio during the recording sessions?
Uematsu: The Tokyo team and the U.S. team were working remotely during the recording process. Loren was recording in the U.S., and I was in Tokyo, so we didn’t get to work together in person.
Do you have any memorable moments during the recording process?
Loren: I worked remotely with the Japan team. But we had some internet problems and got disconnected occasionally. The line got dropped just as an interpreter translated what had just been said, leaving me to imagine what was being said. When the connection was restored, the call dropped again as I got ready to speak. Because this happened frequently and became a time-consuming process, I asked if they would trust me to sing the song as I saw fit and submit the best recording version. They readily agreed. I was immensely touched by the trust they placed in me. I had a video crew from London with me that day, and it was after 2am when we finally finished shooting, but it was a great experience [laughs].
Uematsu: It wasn’t like we just told her to sing however she was pleased from the get-go; we had communicated precisely and in entirety about how we wanted the song to be sung, like, “I want you to sing this part like this.” We had already discussed and confirmed details when we decided we couldn’t continue with the unstable connection. At that point, we had already established the trust for her to sing independently, so it wasn’t like I offhandedly threw the whole thing over to her [laughs]. So, while I wasn’t there with her to actually watch her sing, I listened to the final version when it was ready.
What did you think when you listened to “No Promises to Keep” by Loren?
Uematsu: One word; amazing! I will never forget it. I received an overwhelming number of emails from different staff members at Square Enix, marveling at the song. Even Kazushige (Nojima) could not hide his excitement. I have written many songs for Final Fantasy, but the reaction we have seen for “No Promises to Keep” is unprecedented. There is something about her singing voice that is truly captivating.
Loren: I’m truly honored. Thank you.
Loren, was there anything different about singing a song for a video game?
Loren: It’s completely different. First of all, since Aerith is a fictitious character, it wasn’t like I could meet her to get to know her. I had to spend a lot of time online to learn about her instead. To top it off, since Final Fantasy has a cross-generational, long-standing fanbase, it’s not the same as singing for a new movie. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to sing for a game title, as I know how unique and fascinating the gaming world is.
Uematsu: You are absolutely right about being unable to talk to Aerith. As a composer, I have someone to consult with, like the director. Still, Loren, being so far away from Japan, probably found it difficult to ask questions to get more insights and immerse herself in the world of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
Loren: I did a lot of research on YouTube and Wikipedia and read so many articles.
Finally, do you have a message for the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth fans?
Loren: I am truly honored to have worked on such a well-loved game title and be the singing voice for a beloved character. I cannot wait for everyone around the world to play the game and listen to “No Promises to Keep.” I know many people were anticipating the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and I could not be more thrilled to imagine how the scene of Aerith singing the song would touch fans.
Uematsu: This marked another milestone in my book to have written one more song for the Final Fantasy series that I am genuinely proud of. Both the orchestral version and the band version are amazing, and I can’t wait for everyone to listen to the song. I hope “No Promises to Keep” will be loved for a very long time, just as much as the memories of Aerith.
“No Promises to Keep” will be available on Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming services from March 20. There is also a Final Fantasy Spotify playlist, featuring classic tracks from across the franchise, that you can listen to here.
*The single also includes “No Promises to Keep” band version.
As if colony sim RimWorld doesn’t already have enough ways for your sci-fi frontier adventurers to die, a new expansion titled Anomaly is goiong to add “all manner of monstrous, mysterious, and maddening threats”. It’s out in around a month, and will be paired with a free 1.5 update for the base game.
There’s a purely primal pleasure in stacking things up and then watching them fall down: witness how it’s one of the earliest activities children learn to play by themselves. And however much we might grow up and think of ourselves as mature, sober citizens, you can still get a frisson of that pleasure by organizing a closet, or watching a tower block demolished. So why not go the whole hog and indulge that secret pleasure with one of the very best dexterity games on the market?
Why pick one best dexterity game when you can have them all in a single box? That’s essentially what Junk Art is. The box contains four colored sets of oddly-shaped pieces and a deck of matching cards, alongside another set of cards to determine what mini-games you’re going to play with them. They range from traditional stacking affairs, to co-operative piling, to passing the most awkward pieces to your neighbor and even playing a trick-taking game to get the best pieces. There are additional blank cards to make your own, and an internet full of suggestions. With no two games ever likely to be the same and a range of dexterity and strategic challenges, this could be the only activity game you ever need.
Klask is one of those absurdly simple ideas that makes you wonder why no-one thought of it before. Each player controls a piece on the board using a magnet underneath, which they push around to hit a tiny plastic ball careening around the tray-like playing surface. There’s an indent in each end which counts as a goal, and the – ahem – goal is to push that ball into the opponent’s indent while defending your own. There’s a lot of speed and skill to this pursuit, far more than it may initially seem, and that would be enough to win it a space on this list. But the kicker is that the field is also littered with magnetic obstacles that will stick to your paddle if you get too close, upping both the skills and thrills in one fell swoop.
The joy of Tinderblox is its tiny mint-tin scale. Within is a simple yet devious stacking game where you manoeuvre mini-blocks onto a stack of firewood and coloured flame cubes using a pair of supplied tweezers. When it’s your turn, the items you need to add to the pile are dictated by a card draw. Sometimes it’ll be a little stack of its own, a stick and a fire cube, that you must keep balanced as you manoeuvre it into position. Sometimes the card will also tell you to swap hands for added challenge. It’s the stacking game reduced to its absolute bare essentials, put in a super-portable package that you can take anywhere on the off-chance of players, and with bright colors that make it look great on the table even in miniature. Its ongoing appeal is a testament to the basal satisfaction of trying to put things in a nice, even pile.
This is a game that pretty much everyone is familiar with, but there are a few fascinating facts about Jenga that might make a more interesting pick than you realize. First, despite its ubiquity, this isn’t any kind of ancient classic – it was invented in 1983 by Leslie Scott. Second, her particular innovation, which is common to all branded versions of this venerable stacking game, is that all the blocks are made to be slightly different from each other, creating imperfections that make the behavior of the stack far harder to predict. Factoids that are not only great for dinner parties, but also for getting an edge in the after-dinner games when the stacking blocks come out.
If you want a genuinely old dexterity game that still has teeth, look no further than Crokinole. It dates back to at least the mid-1800’s in Canada and is quite possibly older as a folk game. Most boards nowadays are mass-produced, but it’s still possible to buy handmade ones, which will set you back a pretty penny. It’s a flicking game where you’re trying to score by getting your discs as far into the board as possible, particularly the central region which is ringed by pegs. But in order to be valid, your shot must cause at least one opposing disc to move, otherwise it’s removed. This gives the game a strategic edge on top of the considerable flicking chops that it demands, as you’re always trying to clog up your opponent’s opportunities to hit your discs while freeing up your own.
There’s a surprising amount of dexterity games that weave in a fantasy or a sci-fi themes, and Dungeon Fighter is the current king of the pile. It’s a cooperative game where players each have a character in an adventuring party seeking to loot a dangerous dungeon. Whenever you encounter one of the game’s frequent monsters you fight it by throwing dice, as you might expect, but the twist is that you’re rolling onto a target board which will do damage depending on where the dice stops. If it rolls off, or falls into one of the gaps on the board, it’s a duff blow. With plenty of variety in character, dungeon and monster cards and a high skill ceiling, increased by the various bizarre throwing methods mandated by certain monsters, such as flicking dice off the back of your hand, it’s a delightful mix of challenge, narrative and tomfoolery.
If you’ve ever felt that the beloved children’s classic card game snap was missing a vicious and sometimes bloody edge, then do we have a game for you. The core of the game is just like snap: players turn over cards one at a time and look for matches. But sat in the middle of the table is the sinister, brooding totem, and players with matching cards are instantly catapulted into a race to grab it first. The looser has to take all the played cards so far and, quite probably, nurse any number of bruises, scratches and sprains gained in the struggle for supremacy. Add in a few special-effect cards, including one that has all players grabbing for the totem, and you’ve got a modern classic. Just make sure all the players trim their fingernails first.
There’s a general tendency for dexterity games to revolve around stacking things, or grabbing things or throwing things. But Kabuto Sumo has a whole new take on the genre, inspired by penny waterfall arcade machines. The player’s beetle pieces square off on a platform, surrounded by wooden discs. Then you take turns pushing oddly-shaped objects onto the platform, trying to nudge your opponents off the edge and collecting any non-player shapes that fall. It’s simple yet skilful and wholly engrossing as you try and work out all the angles and impacts required for maximum movement. A slew of different wrestlers with their own push-on shapes and special powers further increases the game’s staying power.
There’s a very obvious bridge between video games and dexterity board games, but it’s rarely been so direct as it is in Drop It. Players take turns selecting from a variety of colored shapes and dropping them into the playfield, which is two upright transparent sheets with a thin space between them to hold the shapes in place. The higher your shape is atop the stack of existing pieces when it lands, the more you will score. But be careful: if you touch any other pieces of the same shape or color, you get nothing. This gives piece selection a frisson of strategy, dropping them a frisson of skill and the sheer unpredictable way all those shapes shift and roll off each other give it a whole lot of fun and excitement.
Hamster Roll – often known by its original German name Hamsterrolle – is a balancing game with a unique twist. Rather than trying to balance your blocks atop each other in a tower, everyone is placing their pieces into slots on a giant wheel, trying to keep it as balanced as possible. If your placement causes the wheel to shift and pieces fall off, then you have to collect them and add them to your stash. First player to get rid of all their pieces wins. The sheer unfamiliarity of this is a big draw and, once you’re in, you’ll discover there’s a surprising amount of strategy to it as well, as you try to anticipate where following players might try and slot their pieces and torpedo those moves by blocking slots or throwing the balance off-whack. But watch out: get too tricksy, and it’ll end up being you picking up the pieces instead.
While this was very obviously designed and marketed as a children’s game, it’s found a surprising fan base among older players as well. Thanks to an electronic gizmo, Louie pilots his little aeroplane in a circle above each player’s chicken coop, trying to knock their chicken discs off their perches. Loose them all and you’re out of the game. But you have a secret weapon: in front of your coop, there’s a paddle you can use to try and lift Louie above and save a chicken. It’s about as simple and fast as it’s possible for a game to be, but it also happens to be hilarious to play as Louie spins and dives about at unpredictable angles. And for the truly accomplished, there’s the perfect shot to practice and aim for, lifting Louie just the right height to clear an opponent’s paddle and dive straight into their coop.
Another children’s game that turns out to have a lot of appeal for adults, Rhino Hero, and its big buddy Super Rhino Hero, bring a load of super-powered character to the pleasure of stacking things high. In this original version of the game, players get a random stack of roof cards which they must add to the growing tower, supported by two right-angled wall cards. Stack carefully: although this is a fairly stable construct, you’ll be out of the game if you cause it to fall. The real fun is in the hidden powers of the roof cards that are revealed when you play them, which range from weirdly-angled walls to placing and moving the titular hero up the tower with great care, lest his pachyderm might cause the cards to fall!

Dell is currently offering nearly 10% off the PlayStation 5 DualSense Edge controller by following the instructions below. It normally retails for $200, but you can get it for $182.05. That’s the best deal we’ve seen this year for this premium controller (it’s very rarely discounted).
So how do you get this discount? Well right now Dell is offering this promotion: buy any 2 PC accessories, and get an automatic 10% off applied to your order. For whatever reason, the DaulSense Edge is considered a “PC accessory”. We simply add the controller and the least expensive PC accessory we can find (in this case, $2.29). Here are step by step instructions:
The DualSense Edge is Sony’s high-end controller for the PS5 console. Like the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller, it offers pro-level features like grips, adjustable analog sticks, mappable rear buttons, profiles, and more. You can swap out the standard analog stick tops with convex replacements that come in two different heights. You have two different options for the back buttons: levers like in the Xbox Elite Series 2 or smaller nubs. One of the most important features of any pro controller are the triggers, and they’ve gotten attention in the DualSense Edge as well. Next to each trigger is a stop slider that lets you adjust how far you have to press the trigger down to make it register. You can choose standard, medium, or short travel distances, the better to get off quick shots in competitive shooters.
All this tech is housed in a hardshell case for easy storage and transport. The case even has a flap that lets you charge the controller while it’s in the case. A 9-foot USB-C charging cable is also included. Plus, if your analog sticks crap out, you can buy replacements for $19.99. We liked it so much, we gave it a 9/10 review.
Walmart (and other retailers) has the new PlayStation 5 Slim Spider-Man 2 bundles on sale right now. You can get the Disc Edition for $449 ($100 discount) and the Digital Edition for $399 ($50 discount).

Helldivers 2‘s Cutting Edge Premium warbond, aka DLC battle pass, is now available to buy in-game, and it is chock-full of oddball gadgetry such as lightning shotguns, burst-fire laser rifles and experimental armour. As with the Arc Thrower stratagem, the lightning shotgun fires arcs of electricity that conduct between players and enemies alike, but there’s a fresh armour perk, Electrical Conduit, which reduces arc damage by 95%, allowing close-knit teams of Helldivers to roll around the battlefield frazzling themselves without much penalty.
Still, I think the real star pick here is surely the Localization Confusion booster, which extends the time between enemy spawns, allowing weirdo solo players such as myself to disentangle from a dragged-out gunfight a little more gracefully.
A sign of the times.
The Pokémon Company is no stranger to leaving hints about what’s to come in their games. Normally, these are only noticed in retrospect and, as it turns out, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet appear to contain a nod towards the company’s next title, Legends: Z-A (thanks, Eurogamer).
The tease in question was initially flagged on the r/PokemonZA Reddit by user KyleLaverre, who spotted some familiar text when exploring Levincia in Scarlet and Violet’s Paldea region. You see, there’s a sign at the front of a tall Levincian building which appears to use the same mysterious lettering as that seen in the opening of the Legends: Z-A reveal trailer.
