Final Fantasy III - Q&A

DS Feature | Final Fantasy III

At TGS, we had an opportunity to sit down with Hiromichi Tanaka, Senior Vice President of Software Development and Tomoya Asano, Producer and talk about a title they both worked on: Final Fantasy III. Unlike last year's enhanced port of Final Fantasy IV to the GBA, FFIII is a full-on remake, and there's a lot to talk about, particularly as it has never been released in the US before. Back when we last spoke about this game it hadn't been finished yet but now it has come out in Japan to great ...

DS-only games coming this year

DS Feature | Final Fantasy IV (DS)

Jan 15, 2008 Final Fantasy IV Lost your bearings? FFIV is the one that introduced the ‘Active Time Battle System - the same time-meter-based attack system thats been used in pretty much all Final Fantasy games since. You might have seen IV before on GBA or maybe even PSOne - but never like this. You get the same 3D refit as the recent FFIII remake. You get voices. You get animated cutscenes. And you get one of historys greatest traditional RPGs, playable on the ...

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 - interview

DS Feature | Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift

The original Final Fantasy Tactics Advance was an extremely successful and engaging game. While it had some quirks that fans of the PS1 FFT game didn't necessarily enjoy, its strategic battles hooked plenty of hardcore gamers in for hundreds of hours. Now, Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (the A is kept, but the 'dvance' is dropped) is heading toward the Nintendo DS. Visually, it looks almost identical to the original in many ways - the character designs are from the same artist, Ryoma Ito, and the ...

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions Q&A

PSP Feature | Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

Oct 5, 2007 Next week, one of the greatest RPGs to grace the PlayStation will arrive on the PSP. Given that it's been a full nine years(!) since the original stomped into stores, though, it wouldn't do to just serve up the same old game and call it a day - that's why Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions will feature a host of improvements to lure back fans when it hits stores on Oct. 9. To get to the bottom of exactly how much has changed, we grilled the game's co-producer, Shingo ...

PSP Feature | Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

Oct 3, 2007 When Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions hits the PSP next week, it'll bring one of the greatest strategy-RPGs of the PSone era to Sony's handheld. It'll also bring a large cast of complex, semi-identical characters along for the ride; to get you acquainted (or re-acquainted, if you've already played the original), publisher Square-Enix has given us bios for some of the story's key figures - as well as for its new, PSP-only additions. We'll start with a few of the game's ...

FFXII's Balthier raids Final Fantasy Tactics!

PSP Feature | Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

Sept 21, 2007 Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is only a few weeks away, and unlike some PSP remakes, this one packs in plenty of surprises for those who played the original on PSone. One of these is Balthier, the gun-wielding sky pirate from Final Fantasy XII, who's just waiting for you to find him and add his dashing wiles to your ranks. You'll need to ferret him out first, naturally enough, and that takes a little footwork on your part. Luckily, we can tell you exactly how to ...

PSP Feature | Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions

Our final Square Enix interview of the entire SE Party 2007 was with team members working on the to-be-released remake of Final Fantasy Tactics, now subtitled The War of the Lions, which was released last week in Japan. This game, which originally came to the PSone in 1998, is beloved by fans but is something of a lost classic in the US market. Thanks to this interview, we've learned that the US version will have voice during the cutscenes, where the Japanese version does not. Executive ...

Final Fantasy week, day five

DS Feature | Final Fantasy V Advance (GBA)

At last, we'll decide which FF delivered in the best possible ways. Some games get one thing totally right but then falter elsewhere - we'll lay down the law by saying which reigns supreme. Are you ready? 5. Final Fantasy V Thanks to a recent re-release on the GBA, this game may finally get the respect it deserves in the US. Though it has one of the weakest stories in the entire series, particularly sandwiched between the melodramatic IV and VI, the gameplay is among the best. The Job System ...

Exclusive interview: Final Fantasy X-2

PS2 Feature | Final Fantasy X-2

With Final Fantasy X-2, the first ever true sequel in the seminal RPG series, still jostling for position near the top of the charts, we decided to have a natter with its director, Motomu Toriyama, to find out everything you wanted to know about the game - but were afraid to ask... As summoning fantastical beasts has been an integral part of the Final Fantasy experience, do you think fans will be happy about the lack of Aeons in FFX-2? In the world of FFX-2, the power of the Aeons has been ...

Final Fantasy XI Beginner's Guide

360 Feature | Final Fantasy XI

It's an adventure that never ends. Final Fantasy has always been a finite experience, bounded by a story that reaches a definite conclusion. Not Final Fantasy XI, though. It's been going strong for more than two years in the US, and with the release of the Xbox 360 version this week, it's available to more gamers than ever before. Whether you've just grabbed the new 360 version or got interested because of the Treasures of Aht Urghan expansion pack that hit the PS2 and PC this week, we've got ...
