What did you make of Final Fantasy XIII? Did it satisfy your Final Fantasy itch? I’m still looking for Square Enix to follow on Final Fantasy VII but I played Final Fantasy XIII for a bit. I’m still wrestling with the news that they’re making a sequel; early next year we should get Final Fantasy […]
Lego gunblade
Remember Cloud’s Squall’s famous gunblade from Final Fantasy VIII. Pretend for a minute that it would work – a gun that’s also a sword! Fantastic! What a clever idea. If you’re willing to pretend that the gunblade design would work then it’s not that much more of a stretch to imagine that, well, a home […]
Docu-trailer for Final Fantasy XIII-2
If you’re worried about spoilers to Final Fantasy XIII then this isn’t the post for you. Read something else. I was really excited about FFXIII before it came out… but eventually gave up, trapped in the farm and fight cycle of the grasslands. This is a sequel. It had (some) of the same characters. We […]
Final Fantasy XIII-2 confirmed
There will be a sequel to Final Fantasy XIII. This isn’t the surprise it could have been because the clever internet noticed Square Enix’s domain name registration company buyng a Final Fantasy XIII-2 domain. The official Final Fantasy XIII-2 site is a microsite on Square-Enix right now though. Oh. And it’s in Japanese. At the […]
Final Fantasy Tictacs
Can’t get enough of Final Fantasy Tactics? Ah. Wait a minute. This is some sort of trick! This isn’t a Final Fantasy Tactics picture at all. Hello and welcome to Final Fantasy TicTacs! Perhaps if I take enough they’ll wash the frustrating taste of CP farming in Final Fantasy XII from my mouth?
Chocobos escape Horsebird fate as Final Fantasy XIV begins to smell Chinese
Square Enix have a bit of a PR issue on their hands with Final Fantasy XIV. Suspicions that the game was written for the Chinese market came to the fore with Chocobos being re-named “Horsebirds”. Chinese characters had been popping up in the Japanese version of Final Fantasy XIV. Typically, Square would be mixing English […]
Classy! Grow your boobs with Final Fantasy XIV
What would you list has a “must have” character personalisation option on a CRPG? Gender? Clothes? Hair style? Colour? Should that really matter? Here’s one – how important is boob size selection to you? If it’s important then you’ll have to sign up for a pre-order of Final Fantasy 14. As this Livedoor blog points […]
Final Fantasy XIV teaser
Square have published a short (around three minutes) video of Final Fantasy XIV. It looks good. It looks more Final Fantasy than Final Fantasy XIII feels (so far; not finished it). In fact; we know that Square want to bring back some the clans from FFXI for FFXIV so that shouldn’t surprise us. It’ll be […]
Not happy with how Final Fantasy XIII is being advertised in the UK? Blame OMD
Square Enix UK have engaged in a bit of agency shuffling prior to the promotion of Final Fantasy XIII this year. The account is worth 6 figures – that’s a lot of money to the agency involved. Square Enix had been with MJ Media but Eidos, which Square Enix bought last year, had been using […]
Social Media fail: LinkedIn profile confirms Final Fantasy XIV for the Xbox
The surprise console news around Final Fantasy XIII was that it would be available on the Xbox 360. This isn’t the case in Japan, where it remains a PS3 exclusive but if you read some Japanese blogs shops can’t even give away the Xbox 360 any more. There are reports that the PS3 is a […]
