Ariana Grande Is a Final Fantasy Character Now

Pop singer Ariana Grande will soon have a character based on her own likeness featured in Final Fantasy: Brave Exvius, a mobile game which was released last year.

Posting to Instagram, Grande shared an image of her sitting in a room full of men in suits as she checked out her character on a phone. "It's the cutest thing I've ever seen in my entire life and I'm so excited and in love with it I cannot contain myself," she said.

Grande also posted some video of her character in action. It appears she'll have a dark helmet with large rabbit ears attached, and of course, she'll be singing a lot. In addition, Grande has also posted an image of her dressed as her own character.

Mass Effect Andromeda: No Plans for Nintendo Switch Version

BioWare has stated that it currently does not expect to port the new entry in the Mass Effect series to Nintendo's latest console, the Switch.

"We’re not planning on it," Mass Effect Andromeda Producer, Michael Gamble explained to Stevivor. However, he did make clear that consumer demand could change that stance:

"If the Switch launches and everyone’s just yammering for Mass Effect, who knows.

We never want to close doors like that.”

Last year, EA indicated that it would be bringing one of its "bigger games" to Switch, but it's now clear that Andromeda was not the game in question.

Dragon Ball Super Episode 72 Review

Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.

Apologies for the delay of this review due to the holiday!

Fighting is at the core of “Will There Be A Counterattack?! The Invisible Killing Strike!”, as Hit returns to finish what he started with Goku. Good fight scenes help prop up Episode 72, but it’s ultimately weighed down by some strange story decisions and an all too convenient revival of our hero.

The highlight of this episode is once again Hit. The assassin continues to impress as he returns to fight Goku and finish him off once and for all. His minimalist fighting style and cold attitude counter Goku well, and his unique powers force Goku to think outside the box rather than relying on brute force to solve the problem. His animation is also quite different, which helps lend to the air of mystery that surrounds his character. The ending of the episode leaves things open for future appearances, so we hope to see his character built upon as the series progresses.
