GOG JRPG Sale offers massive discounts on Final Fantasy, Romancing SaGa and more

Overview & Key Takeaways

Whether you're a fan of CrossCode or Final Fantasy, there's an amazing selection of JRPGs to be found over at the GOG JRPG sale.

It’s a great time to be a PC gamer whose primary gaming storefront is GOG, particularly if you’re a fan of Japanese role-playing games. Head on over to GOG now, and you’ll see that the storefront is offering some steep discounts on JRPGs.

The low prices on some of the greatest JRPGs are due to the storefront celebrating the Mana franchise making its debut on GOG, with Square Enix’s 2020 HD remasterThe Legends of Mana and the 2021 release of Trials of Mana. The two aforementioned games are also included in the sale, at 60% and 70% off, respectively.

While originally a side-story spin-off to Square’s Final Fantasy, the Mana franchise became its own thing with Secret of Mana, its second installment. Though GOG's selection focuses on more recent titles, both games, and especially The Legends of Mana, are a great starting point for new fans.

However, as mentioned above, the main reason to celebrate the Mana franchise’s debut is the hefty discounts on a variety of fantastic JRPGs. We’ve listed a handful below that deserve your time and, if you’re so inclined, your money.

There are plenty of Final Fantasy games involved in the GOG sale, but you certainly can’t go wrong with either Final Fantasy 7 or Final Fantasy 8 Remastered. The former remains such a popular pick among Final Fantasy fans that it even has its own remake, whereas the latter features an iconic and beloved cast of characters that’s still regularly discussed today.

If you’re looking for something different from Final Fantasy, however, Romancing SaGa is the way to go. The franchise prioritizes non-linear and often emergent gameplay, with the remasters and later games adopting far more modern features (such as new game plus) to entice players into yet another playthrough.

GOG JRPG sale has an abundance of phenomenal JRPGs on offer. So run, don’t walk, to that sale and grab the games that speak to you before the discounts end on June 8.

PS5 Game Dev Says Sony Is Removing Its Catalog And Won’t Say Why🖥 PlayStation, PC, Multi-platform

PS5 Game Dev Says Sony Is Removing Its Catalog And Won’t Say Why

It appears Sony is preparing to remove an entire studio's library from the PlayStation Store after August 23, according to Ukrainian developer Ternox Games. The developer behind Stonks-9800(https://www.gamespot.com/games/stonks-9800-stock-market-simulator/), a stock market sim with an '80s vibe, took to X on August 16(https://x.com/Taimumari/status/2089021552012525708) to reveal the news. Ternox Games stated that, without any reason, their contract with Sony was "unilaterally terminated" and all of their games will be pulled soon. And now, Stonks-9800--which has been in Steam Early Access since July 2023 and has an "overwhelmingly positive" rating on the platform--will no longer make its way to PS5 as a result of this termination. https://twitter.com/Taimumari/status/2089021552012525708 "Sony PlayStation unilaterally terminated my PlayStation developer and publisher agreement without giving me any reason," the developer wrote. "My existing games are scheduled to be removed from the PlayStation Store after August 23." In a follow-up X post(https://x.com/Taimumari/status/2089021555342823477), Ternox Games said PlayStation Support "refuses to listen to my arguments or even respond to my emails in any way." As a result, Stonks-9800 is no longer launching on PlayStation 5, and they will no longer be able to self-publish on PlayStation. 13 games, some of which Ternox Games published, will be pulled after August 23. "I had hoped to release the PS5 version in 2027 and make a physical disc edition while that was still possible," the studio continued. "Sadly, that will not happen--but I'll do my best to create a physical edition for PC and Switch. I'm really sorry that this happened and that I failed the developers whose games I published. But there's nothing I can do about it now, unfortunately. I still have a tiny bit of hope that this decision will be reconsidered, so please share this message if you can." It's unclear why this is happening since Ternox Games' titles doesn't appear to fall under the shovelware category. However, due to Sony's "stricter guidelines" on shovelware(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sonys-stricter-guidelines-on-shovelware-playstation-games-are-reportedly-targeting-more-developers/), and the company's intent to remove as many of these games as possible(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-cracks-down-on-over-1000-digital-playstation-games-from-the-same-publisher/1100-6537423/), some online have suggested that Ternox Games got caught in the crossfire. Sony has been in hot water lately, especially following the announcement that the company plans to stop producing physical PlayStation discs in January 2028(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-confirms-playstation-disc-production-will-end-in-2028/). Under just about every post and video the company puts out are comments(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/sony-tries-to-change-the-subject-after-killing-playstation-discs/) from netizens decrying Sony's decision. It's come to the point where over 220,000 people have signed a petition(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/over-220000-people-petition-sony-not-to-kill-physical-playstation-game-discs/) urging the company to change its mind.

Disney Is Bringing Fortnite Into Its Real-World Star Wars Rides

Disney invested more than $1.5 billion into Epic Games to help create synergies between Fortnite and the company's lucrative theme park business, and now how that integration works is coming to light. As revealed at Disney's D23 event(https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/smugglers-gambit-fortnite-disney/) this weekend, Fortnite is integrating with the Smuggler's Run ride at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. For anyone just catching up, Smugglers Run(https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attractions/hollywood-studios/millennium-falcon-smugglers-run/) is an interactive motion simulator attraction that has six people piling into the Millennium Falcon as they work together to collect crates for the fan-favorite pirate, Hondo(https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/HondoOhnaka). With this new Fortnite collaboration, those crates will now unlock content in the game. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Smugglers.png?w=636) Here's how it works. Connected to this, Fortnite is adding a new Fortnite island called Smugglers Gambit, which takes place around Mersa Veta Station on the planet Ord Ryla. "You’ll team up with friends, take on co-op missions, battle pirates and Imperial remnants, encounter dangerous wildlife, unlock new gear, and build your reputation across the Outer Rim," reads a line from the description. "And because this is Hondo we’re talking about, there are plenty of opportunities for things to go wonderfully right… or spectacularly wrong." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yYz8kg4o People need to connect their Epic Games and MyDisney accounts for this to work. This integration is already live, having launched on Sunday, August 16 at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. One of the first perks is the Forsworn Trooper Outfit, which you can see in the image above. Disney's CEO, Josh D'Amaro, is a big believer in video games(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/disney-close-to-naming-next-ceo-might-be-someone-who-wants-to-do-more-in-gaming-report/1100-6537819/) and was personally spearheading the company's investment and collaboration with Epic Games. Beyond this new partnership, D'Amaro has said one day people may be able to buy Disney Cruise Line tickets inside Fortnite or watch a Disney movie(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/disneys-new-ceo-teases-future-fortnite-collaborations-including-movie-premieres/1100-6538070/). Additionally, Disney is said to be working on an Arc Raiders-style game to be released in Fortnite(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fortnite-adding-an-arc-raiders-style-game-with-disney-characters-report/1100-6539344/).
