Cloud Message: New Information Highly Unlikely
(Posted: 30/11/2008) by Ronin90
Final Fantasy XIII news has been slow recently and even though speculation about the famed 'Cloud Message' was initially centered around Final Fantasy VII, it hasn't taken long for fansites to attempt to capitalise on it by regurgitating news and claiming that this book will provide great things. The question is, should we actually care?
The short answer is no. Unlike the newly announced Re: DVD, Cloud Message is purely a book. This means there will be no new trailers and no new news. What will probably be in the book? Artwork, which we've more than likely already seen. Why is it likely that we've seen it anyway? Because the book features ten other topics (nine of which are games) and there is no real need for Square Enix to include something new when they have so much content that they can fill the book up with.

Cloud Message A Complete False Alarm
(Posted: 17/11/2008) by Ronin90
Last month, there was a picture of Cloud in a magazine with the words 'Coming Soon' underneath his name. Of course, being the wishful thinkers that we are, many thought this signalled one of three things.
1) We could be seeing the announcement of a Final Fantasy VII Remake quite soon.
2) We could be seeing the announcement of the next volume of Cloud DVD
3) We could be seeing the announcement of a new Final Fantasy VII Compilation game.
Well, it turns out it's none of these, as Cloud's Message is actually a new book, yes book. The book is actually going to be called Cloud Message and it will be released on the 10th of December this year. Should you wish to import it, the price is going to be ¥1,575.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Sales Continue To Impress
(Posted: 07/11/2008) by Ronin90
Crisis Core is considered by many to be the best title that Square Enix have produced for a while and it's positive to see that unlike The World Ends With You, it has also seen very good sales around the globe.
Square Enix have just released their half-yearly financial report which plots the progress of its games between the 1st of April and the 30th of September. Although Crisis Core was released in both Japan and America before this period, it is still promising to see that it has still sold 620,000 units in this time period.

The Current State Of Final Fantasy
(Posted: 05/11/2008) by Kyle Wynen
The last we heard of Final Fantasy was at the Tokyo Game Show this past month. The event basically had next to nothing new for Final Fantasy players. Square Enix, the developer of Final Fantasy, on the other hand has decided to jump on the Super Smash Bros. bandwagon that so many other developers have done before. Square Enix's being Dissidia: Final Fantasy, wherein they're pitting the lead characters and villains from the main series against each other in one-on-one battles in yet another off-shoot Final Fantasy title.
This however is not the Final Fantasy most fans are craving for. That would be Final Fantasy XIII, and the wait for it has been a very long and one-sided one for fans. The title was announced over two and a half years ago, and is projected to not hit shelves in North America until this time next year.
It's time to delve into what's going on with Final Fantasy, so hit the jump to read more.

Get Your Final Fantasy VII T-Shirts
(Posted: 26/10/2008) by Ronin90
Yes, you heard correctly; Square Enix have placed some Final Fantasy VII t-shirts in their Japanese store. There is one t-shirt for Final Fantasy VII and one for Advent Children, so you're definitely spoilt for choice.
They're going to retain for ¥5,200 each, which is actually quite a lot of money for a t-shirt, so I wouldn't recommend purchasing one unless you're a seriously die hard fan.

Cloud Says: New FFVII Compilation Game On The Way?
(Posted: 23/10/2008) by Ronin90
A picture of Cloud with the words "Coming Soon" that was released a few days ago toyed with Final Fantasy fans all around the world, but while some speculated that it could mean the announcement of a Final Fantasy VII Remake, I'm going to disagree.
To me, the announcement of a Cloud Volume II DVD is far more logical, but what would make more sense is the announcement of a new game in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII franchise. Cloud in the picture is wearing his new attire and if you think about the ending of Dirge of Cerberus, it makes sense that Square Enix are definitely planning another title.
For those who aren't aware, Dirge of Cerberus introduced the now well recognised Genesis Rhapsodos, but under the name of G. He appeared at the end of the game saying that they still have work to do. Following this, he was then given a starring role in Crisis Core, which shed more light on to his character.
