Final Fantasy

The release date for the Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster has been up in the air since it was announced, to the confusion of fans. It was first revealed over two years ago and little was said about it for quite a while. Amazing for what is, effectively, just a re-release of two already completed games.

Often called one of the best games of all time, you can today pick up Final Fantasy VII on PC for the low, low price of $3. For the price of a cup of coffee, it's hard to resist.

A Final Fantasy VII remake is something fans have wanted since at least the beginning of last generation, when Square Enix showed off a tech demo in which they recreated the opening movie from VII in PS3-quality graphics. It turned out to be nothing but a tease. That doesn't mean that a remake won't ever happen though, although it may not be quite what fans had expected.

Square Enix have today announced a remake of Final Fantasy VI - originally released as Final Fantasy III in the US - for mobile devices, due for release in Winter. It won't be a straight up port. The game will receive both visual changes and gameplay updates to fit with on-the-go gaming.

There was one major complain that I had about the PC re-release of Final Fantasy VII, which was rather good otherwise. That was that Square Enix had decided to include the original PC music rather than revert to the better known, better appreciated PS1 version. An update late last week now fixes this problem.

Reports are coming in that the Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Collection will be delayed into 2014 for at least the US territory. Square Enix representatives have told multiple visitors to their booth at PAX that the long awaited JRPG set will be available next year. As of writing, there's no official confirmation, the EU press site still has it labelled as 2013 and so, of course, there's no explanation as to where this delay has suddenly come from.

Some new information has been released about the upcoming re-release of Final Fantasy X for PS3. If you'd wanted to know why it's taken so long for "just" a remaster to get onto our consoles, this might have something to do with it.

We’ve all seen a live action project of Final Fantasy VII somewhere on the internet, but this one is asking for your help to make it the best. Shinra Productions LLC have launched a Kickstarter for their project called Final Fantasy VII: The Web Series. The Kickstarter describes it as “…a fan project dedicated to bringing the characters, events, and excitement seen in the iconic videogame Final Fantasy VII into a live-action web series.” The series’ first season will consist…

A Final Fantasy VII speed runner this morning missed out on the world record by only a few minutes. After a few random attacks cost him minutes during his run, he finally died in one of the final boss battles and he was forced to give up. It had taken him only a little over seven and a half hours to get there.

A page on the Square Enix website has people asking whether Final Fantasy XIII’s Lightning might just end up making a cameo appearance in the newly remastered Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD. The Final Fantasy Go There page (which seems like a 30 Rock joke, I know) describes several of the crossovers coming to upcoming Final Fantasy titles. Already mentioned are Lightning Returns and Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, both of which have bonus cameo costumes. The final picture shows…
