We're approaching the ten year anniversary of Final Fantasy VII, Square Enix's most popular series installment, and already rumors are starting to strengthen that the RPG powerhouse may release a Tomb Raider Anniversary-style remake to celebrate the occasion. That's not happening, according to Square Enix character designer Tetsuya Nomura, who's made the biggest debunk yet of the persistent rumor in Japanese magazine Dorimaga. "It appears that there are often overseas rumors like 'Are you ... » Read More

Fielding questions at a Square Enix financial briefing in Tokyo today, president Yoichi Wada said this about Final Fantasy XIII: "It will still take a bit more time. At the very least, [a release] this fiscal year is definitely out of the question."

Japanese is known for being a pretty vague language, but Wada's words were pretty clear. No FFXIII in Japan until some time after May 2008.

Another Square Enix event, and two more trailers appear - both substantially including footage we've seen before. Somehow we're not complaining yet, however, since they both look so interesting and portend very engrossing games. The Final Fantasy XIII trailer was, in fact, quite different and expanded from prior versions. The story of the game's world became clearer after we had the chance to watch it. The world of FFXIII is broken into two areas: Cocoon, what seems to be a small, closed ... » Read More

New trailers were shown for both games.

"After the logo for Fabula Nova Crystallis--the overarching name for all Final Fantasy XII games--flashed on the screen, a new trailer for Final Fantasy XIII began. The trailer featured a woman named Lightning as she dispatched a series of opponents without breaking a virtual sweat. Afterwards, she summoned a spirit--who looks like a biomechanical version of the Indian deity Shiva--from a crystal, before the trailer ended with a giant PlayStation 3 logo.

Then came a trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII, the PS3 action game set in FFXIII same universe. It showed a hero sporting one of the series' trademark ornate coifs cutting through a throng of soldiers with a gigantic sword, aided by some complex martial arts moves. To the strains of melancholy music, he teleported amongst his opponents, avoiding rocket-propelled grenades and gunfire. As he finally emerged in a throne room to face off against a new opponent, the screen faded to the Final Fantasy Versus XIII logo."

Rumors are bountiful during game development, but some are just too big to ignore. According to new gossip floating around the net - and pulled from a fairly reliable source overseas - Final Fantasy XIII will not be a PS3 exclusive. At least, the franchise won't be. It looks like FFXIII games could be making their way to the 360 and are definitely coming to the Wii. The aptly-yet-cumbersomly named Fabula Nova Crystalis Final Fantasy XIII project is currently scheduled to be split into three ... » Read More

Nintendo Dream has conducted an interview with Shinji Hashimoto from Square Enix, and he said the following:

"The story of Final Fantasy XIII lasts 10 years, which is a long period, like in the Star Wars saga or The Lord of the Rings."

Think that sounds interesting? Hear this: Shinji Hashimoto commented on Square Enix's upcoming Wii title, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, which we have almost no info on, and said that the game will make full use of the Wii Controller. He then smiled and said that "Square Enix and Nintendo fans should really look forward to the upcoming Square Enix Party 2007 on May 12-13."

More pieces of information about Dragon Quest IX were given to us by Japanese magazine Gamelabo that claims you will be able to transfer your raised monster from Nintendo DS towards the Wii.

Last but not least, Japanese magazine Famitsu has posted its expected release dates for quite a few Square Enix games:

· Final Fantasy Tactics A2: The Sealed Grimoire: July, 2007
· Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates: August, 2007
· Dragon Quest IX : Protectors of the Sky: November, 2007

The multiple games in development as part of Square's Final Fantasy XIII project will not be limited to PS3 and mobile releases, Square Enix's Motomu Toriyama has reportedly confirmed. Six games in total are expected in the project which Square calls Fabula Nove Crystallis, and if the report on Gamefront is accurate we could see FFXIII games appear on Nintendo and Microsoft consoles. However, it's speculated that the statements made by Toriyama may have been misread owing to poor ... » Read More

Three new scans from Game Informer have surfaced, and although they don't give us any new information they do confirm two things:

A. Square Enix has indeed registered "Final Fantasy Haeresis XIII" in the Trademark office. Rumors claim this game will be Square Enix's new MMORPG, but none knows to which console Haeresis will be released for.

B. As mentioned in yesterday's Australian PlayStation Magazine scans, Lightning has been confirmed to be the protagonist of Final Fantasy XIII.

The scans feature Game Informer's first previews of both Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII, and they seem excited just as us. Another thing worth mentioning is that they, too, say that both games are to be released in 2008.

Now, didn't this just came out of the blue? Five new scans from the Australian PlayStation Magazine April issue that feature an English interview with Motomu Toriyama have surfaced. Toriyama mostly talks about Square Enix's main project at the moment, Final Fantasy XIII, but in one of the questions he gave the following answer:

"In fact, the Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII project isn't just limited to three titles - there are many different aspects. In terms of the formats we're reaching, as well, it's not simply exclusive to the PS3 and mobile phones."

Xbox360 RPG fans are going to be happy with this "hint" from Toriyama. Have a good read everyone; these scans are surely a must-see!

A new scan from English magazine GamePro has surfaced, thanks to FF-XIII.net. This scan features a small piece of new information about the game:

"In the story an exile from the floating kingdom of Cocoon, who has been banished to the lower world, finds herself caught up in a plot to take the sky domain down."

By "herself" the editor probably refers to Lightning. The article also predicts that both Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII will be released in 2008.

Japanese magazine Famitsu has released the results from their latest online poll, "What exclusive game would you like to go multiplatform?". Looks like Japanese gamers really want Final Fantasy XIII to make an appearance on both Wii and Xbox360; The game took the 3rd place at the poll with 196 votes:

"Final Fantasy XIII - Square Enix's flagship series is a PS3 exclusive, and there's nothing to suggest that would ever change, but fans point to the still relatively small market share of Sony's high-end machine and say that the title could be a much bigger hit if it sold on the Xbox 360. Still, Sony and its loyal fans say that the market share of the PS3 will grow significantly once the title hits the racks."

Another Square Enix title that is featured in the poll is Dragon Quest IX that took the 4th place with 47 votes; Looks like people don't like the idea that the game is a Nintendo DS exclusive!

There's rumored to be a playable demo of Square Enix's highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIII in the pipes for release to the PlayStation Network later on in the year. Square Enix has yet to respond to the rumor, which originated in EGM, which says, "Xbox Live may be the download hotspot this spring (thanks in large part to the Halo 3 multiplayer demo), but late this year the honor will go to the PlayStation Network.
