Sempre Fabul: Final Fantasy IV Now Available on iOS
Fri Dec 21, 2012 at 09:30 AM ETTags: Final Fantasy, iOS, Final Fantasy V (all tags)
The 3D Nintendo DS version from 2008 the basis for the latest re-release.
The Super Nintendo classic, originally released as 'Final Fantasy II' in the West has been released for iOS devices at a price of $15.99. Distinct from the more recent Wii and PSP versions, this version has 3D characters and scenes. Square Enix has also promoted an adjustable difficulty system and Game Center integration, presumably to make the game more suitable for playing on the go.
In addition to re-release of 'FFIV,' 'Final Fantasy V', known for its grind-filled job system, has been teased as the next Final Fantasy to make it to iOS.

‘Final Fantasy III’ Confirmed as Ouya Launch Title
Tue Jul 31, 2012 at 04:30 AM ETTags: Ouya, Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy III (all tags)
Square says we can expect a version of the game optimized for the console. Though FFIII has been out for a while on the DS, this will be the first time the game is being released for a non-handheld console in the U.S.
Let’s get it out of the way right up front – when we talk about ‘Final Fantasy III,’ we mean the Japanese game that didn’t come out in the states until just a few years ago. Instead of getting each game in order we jumped from the first to the fourth and then to the sixth.
Now that that’s all cleared up, it’s been announced that the ‘Final Fantasy III’ remake that Square did for the DS is going to be a launch game for the new Ouya console. That’s the first really big title that’s been announced, and it’s a bit of a first since the title hasn’t been released on a home console as of yet.
There’s a lot of interest in the Ouya, with over 41,000 units already preordered on Kickstarter, but the real mystery is just how well the system will d once it launches. The addition of ‘Final Fantasy III’ may add some appeal, but they’ll certainly need more if they hope to attract the hardcore crowd.

'Final Fantasy 7' Returning to PC – No Word on Graphical Improvements
Thu Jun 21, 2012 at 12:30 PM ETTags: Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy VII, PC (all tags)
A site belonging to Square Enix has the basic details, including the addition of cloud saves and a save editor.
'Final Fantasy 7' is probably the most demanded remake there is, and rumors of something new have been spreading around since the HD generation of consoles made its debut. Thusfar we've seen nothing, but a recent leak indicates that the game is, at the very least, going to be rereleased on PC.
There's no information on whether we'll see graphical improvements or not, but you can expect in-game achievements, cloud saves and even a character booster that lets you adjust your HP, MP and money.
Pricing comes in at 9.99 Euros, or $12.50. If it's not coming in HD though, we'd rather stick to the much prettier Final Fantasy Remix mods.

Square Enix Announces Release Dates for 'Theatrythm Final Fantasy' and 'Kingdom Hearts 3D'
Thu Apr 05, 2012 at 11:30 AM ETTags: Theatrythm Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts 3D, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Square Enix (all tags)
Both will be hitting in July, with 'Theatrythm' being the first.
Square Enix has announced release dates for upcoming 3DS versions of two of its most popular franchises. First up is 'Theatrythm Final Fantasy,' which isn't up on Amazon yet but comes to shelves on July 3rd. It also might take the title of "Worst Square Enix" game name from 'Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.'
The slightly more sensibly titled 'Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance' is set to release on July 31st, giving fans more enemies, more Disney worlds and two protagonists.
Is it possible to make enough jokes at the expense of the current Square Enix naming convention? We think not.

'Final Fantasy' Producer Aims for Quicker Development Cycles
Tue Nov 22, 2011 at 11:30 AM ETTags: Final Fantasy, Square Enix, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Industry Trends (all tags)
The company has learned from 'Final Fantasy XIII' and is planning to move quicker with new game development.
There are a few game companies out there that can get away with incredibly long development cycles and time between sequels. Nintendo and Blizzard are at the top of that list - a list that has, up until recently, included Square Enix.
'Final Fantasy' producer Yoshinori Kitase says those days are over. 'Final Fantasy XII' was released in 2009 - five years after the debut of the Xbox 360. "Personally," says Kitase, "I think we took a little too long getting it out."
Kitase looks to other AAA developers for an indicator of what works and says that a one to two year turnaround on games is a much better approach. 'Final Fantasy XIII-2' is hitting not much more than two years after the last installment and that's something that will become more common moving forward.
