Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time has been announced in the latest issue of Shonen Jump. In an interesting twist, the game is coming out for the DS and the Wii. Gameplay will vary depending on whether one is using the Wiimote or the stylus, but it will be possible to play online with those using either version, this thanks to Square Enix’s cross-platform engine, the Pollux Engine. It also looks like players will be able to transfer and use their Miis on the DS version. The game will be an action RPG, and though there’s little information so far, we do know that the plot revolves around Charlotta and (naturally) a crystal.

RPG fans in PAL territories will have some gaming to do this weekend. Infinite Undiscovery for the Xbox 360 and Final Fantasy IV DS both went on sale today. Just remember to take food and rest breaks and you’ll be all set.
Microsoft dropped a pretty big bomb when it declared that Final Fantasy XIII will not be PS3 exclusive in North America or Europe. In the Land of the Rising Sun, you’ll still need Sony to play the newest installment. There have been rumors on the internets that this final exclusivity might not actually be exclusive. To clear things up, Motomu Toriyama, director of Final Fantasy XIII had this to say:
“There will absolutely not be an Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII for Japan.”
There you have it. Square Enix is showing no love to the 360 in Japan.

Final Fantasy IV is a classic RPG that has seen release on five different gaming platforms, so remaking a game that has been played by so many, and often played so many times by those people, is a particularly difficult challenge. How does one make a game that is so familiar to its fans seem fresh and new while retaining the nostalgic feel at the same time? Fortunately, the DS remake of Final Fantasy IV exceeds expectations and is a new yardstick by which to measure remakes in the future. Continue reading ‘Final Fantasy IV - Staff Review’ »
Square Enix’s DKΣ3713 event has been full of good news for Japanese gamers, and most of it will probably end up as good news for North Americans. The biggest news thus far is that when Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children finally comes to Japanese Blu-Ray in March, it will include a playable demo of Final Fantasy XIII for the PlayStation 3 along with new videos of Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy XIII Agito on the disc. Square Enix has not announced any plans for the North American Blu-Ray release, but those willing to pay import price will be in luck. Japan and North America are in the same region when it comes to movies, and games are region free.
