Square Enix closed out today’s Nintendo Switch 2 partner showcase with a game that features names liable to send you into fits of confused laughter. Launching next year, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is an HD-2D action RPG with a silly but acceptable name. (Elliot? Really?)
But Philabieldia, the name for where the story takes place, is truly one of the most ridiculous fantasy names I’ve ever heard. Philabieldia, wow. You know what, I’m in. The ridiculous name signals to me this is the exact kind of high-fantasy, low-stakes silliness I enjoy in not-Final Fantasy Square Enix games.
