What Is Square Insider?

Square Insider is a fan-run news and community site focused on Square Enix games. Its own tagline describes it as covering "Square Enix News, Previews, Reviews and Discussion." If you follow Final Fantasy, Bravely Default, Kingdom Hearts, or other Square Enix franchises and want headlines, impressions, and reader discussion in one place, it's built for that audience. It is not an official Square Enix property, and nothing on the site indicates paid tiers or account requirements beyond an optional sign-in for member features.

What the site covers

The homepage organizes content into a few clear sections:

• Articles – news posts and announcements
• Reviews – write-ups of released games
• Interviews – developer conversations and quotes
• Games – a browsable index of titles
• Guides – how-to and walkthrough-style help
• Member collections – user-curated lists, tied to accounts

Posts carry an author byline, a date, and a comment count, so you can tell at a glance how recent and how discussed a story is.

What the coverage actually looks like

Recent posts show the mix of news and analysis the site runs:

The Final Fantasy Tactics piece is a good example of the site's approach: it reports on a remaster and folds in director Kazutoyo Maehiro's comments from an interview on Square Enix's official site, including the detail that some original PS1 source code was lost and had to be reconstructed from later releases like the PSP's War of the Lions. That's the pattern—aggregating official statements and adding context rather than breaking original news.

Who it's for

• Square Enix players who want a single feed of announcements across the company's franchises
• Readers who like discussion attached to news, via the comment threads
• People researching a title who want reviews, guides, and a game index in one place

If you need official support, account help, or store purchases, go to Square Enix directly—Square Insider is a third-party outlet, not a service portal.

How to use it

1. Open the homepage to see the latest posts in reverse-chronological order.
2. Use the section links (Articles, Reviews, Interviews, Games, Guides) to narrow to the content type you want.
3. Sign in or create an account if you want to build member collections or join discussions; browsing appears to work without it.
4. Treat posts as secondary reporting—where a piece cites an official interview or announcement, follow that link for the primary source.
