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.

'Final Fantasy XIII-2' Collector's Edition Includes a Four Disc Soundtrack and More
Fri Nov 11, 2011 at 10:30 AM ETTags: Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy XIII-2 (all tags)
You'll also get a gorgeous book full of concept art - all for a price of $79.
Sometimes a collector's edition of a game is worth picking up. Not always, but in the case of 'Final Fantasy XIII-2' it seems like something every fan would want to get their hands on. It includes a book chock full of concept art, but more importantly there's a four CD soundtrack.
No matter your feelings on 'Final Fantasy XIII' you have to admit that the music was fantastic. Composer Masashi Hamauzu is back for the sequel and he's bringing Naoshi Mizuta with him. Mizuta is the one responsible for almost all of the music in 'Final Fantasy XI' as well as a few others.
You can preorder the collector's edition on Amazon now for $79.

'Chrono Cross,' 'Final Fantasy V' and 'Final Fantasy VI' are Coming to PSN
Fri Nov 04, 2011 at 09:30 AM ETTags: PlayStation Network, Square Enix, Final Fantasy (all tags)
A trio of classic Squaresoft RPGs will be hitting PSN starting November 8th.
Square Enix is kicking off what they're calling the "Winter of RPGs." It's a promotion that brings three classic roleplaying games to PS3s and PSPs, starting November 8th with 'Chrono Cross,' the spiritual sequel to 'Chrono Trigger.'
On the 22nd, 'Final Fantasy' fans can get a fix of the first good 'Final Fantasy' game with a job class system - yes, 'Final Fantasy II' was that bad. 'Final Fantasy V' is coming just in time for you to spend Thanksgiving weekend playing it.
December 5th is the real treat. Arguably the best game in the series and certainly the top contender on most lists, 'Final Fantasy VI' will be hitting PSN.
Sony doesn't say which versions of the 'Final Fantasy' games we'll be getting, but it's pretty safe to assume they'll be the ones released for the original PlayStation.
