According to Capcom, in "The Struggle," "Moira fights to survive the horrors of the island with the help of an old hand," while in the "Little Miss" episode, Natalia "awakens face-to-face with another version of herself."
Final Fantasy Type-0’s Secret Trailer May Reveal Sequel (Possible Spoilers)
Spoiler alert!
A secret trailer unlocked at the end of Final Fantasy Type-0 could be teasing the next game in the series.
In the video-- which can only be accessed after players finish the game, a bruised and bloody Ace is seen guarding a temple at night, his body pierced with arrows, a sword slipping from his grasp as he struggles to live. Just as he is about die, he is embraced by arms of fire and transformed into what looks like a deadly samurai warrior. Ace's wounds are healed, and he looks incredibly powerful. "We have arrived," he intones.
Is this a teaser for the next Final Fantasy Type game? It isn't entirely clear, but Type-0 director Hajime Tabata has mentioned he would like to do a sequel in interviews, so it's possible we're seeing a teaser trailer for Type-1.
Windows Moves Forward, Leaves Internet Explorer Branding Behind
Windows 10 will mark the beginning of the end for the Internet Explorer brand. Microsoft is currently researching names for its next generation internet browser, currently called Project Spartan.
Internet Explorer itself isn't going away anytime soon, but Microsoft is definitely shifting focus away from the brand. Use of Microsoft's native Windows browser has been in steady decline since 2009, with usage converging with Chrome at the midpoint of 2013. From there, market share for Chrome continued to climb while market share for IE continued its decline.

Dragon Ball Xenoverse Ships 1.5 Million Copies
Bandai Namco has revealed Dragon Ball Universe has shipped 1.5 million copies worldwide.
This figure covers its release globally, though it's important to note "shipped" refers to the number of units sent to retailers, rather than the number actually bought by consumers.
IGN's review of the latest gaming instalment in the Dragon Ball franchise found this offering lets you customize your own fighter, but combat's sadly dull and a little unfair.
For more on Dragon Ball Xenoverse, including tips on how to find all the Dragon Balls and how to go Super Saiyan, check out IGN's wiki.
Parent Wants to Sue Microsoft Over FIFA Microtransactions

Writing in a post on Medium, he says that he and his wife take the blame for not paying more attention, however he wants Microsoft to supply better parental controls.

NX is Nintendo’s New Next-Generation Hardware System
Nintendo President Satoru Iwata today mentioned the company is creating a new next-generation hardware concept called NX during a media event today.
Iwata revealed sparse details of the new "dedicated game system" during a joint announcement of its partnership with Japanese mobile gaming company DeNA. The partnership will result in the development of smartphone games starring Nintendo characters along with a new multi-platform platform software service.
"Nintendo, together with DeNA, will jointly develop a new membership service which encompasses the existing Nintendo 3DS and Wii U systems, the new hardware system with a brand-new concept, NX, and smart devices and PCs, and Nintendo will be the primary party to operate this new membership service," Iwata said via official translation.
Nintendo to Develop Smartphone Games Featuring Nintendo Characters
Nintendo is teaming up Japanese mobile gaming company DeNA to develop and operate new games specifically for smartphones starring Nintendo IP, along with a new multi-device online membership service.
According to the announcement today, the partnership will only develop new original games for smart devices rather than porting Nintendo Wii U and 3DS games to smartphones.
"There are significant differences in the controls, strengths and weaknesses between the controllers for dedicated game systems and the touchscreens of smart devices," Nintendo President Satoru said during the press briefing. "We have no intention at all to port existing game titles for dedicated game platforms to smart devices because if we cannot provide our consumers with the best possible play experiences, it would just ruin the value of Nintendo’s IP."
