Final Fantasy VIII Coming Feb 4th To EU PlayStation Store
Thu, Jan 21st, 2010, 11:02 am (EST) by Ronin90
Many Europeans have been waiting for a quite a while to get their hands on Final Fantasy VIII via the PlayStation store, as it originally became available in Japan way back in September of 2009. North Americans were then able to enjoy it in December of 2009, but Europeans kept checking every Thursday to no avail.
Sony have now finally given a concrete release date for the title though, and they've set it as the 4th of February, 2010. Currently there's no price attached to the product, but expect it to be in a similar price range to Final Fantasy VII.
Next on the check list would be Final Fantasy IX, but that hasn't even been rumoured yet, so it might be a while before it's seen.

Final Fantasy VIII Comes to PlayStation Store
Sat, Dec 19th, 2009, 3:35 pm (EST) by Kyle
With Final Fantasy VII sitting as one of the top downloads on the PlayStation Store month after month, Square Enix has decided to add Final Fantasy VIII to their PSN roster. The PSone Classic title can be played on both PSP and PS3, and is priced at $9.99 on the US PlayStation Store. John Yamamoto, President and CEO of Square Enix, Inc. spoke about the addition of the game to the store,
"We’re very excited to share the Final Fantasy VIII experience with not only a new generation of RPG gamers, but also all of our long-time Final Fantasy fans. Final Fantasy VII received an incredibly warm reception on the PlayStation Network, and we are thrilled to see what possibilities this latest release of Final Fantasy VIII will bring to the franchise."
Square Enix have also put together a minimalist website alongside the PS Store release of the game. For series fans that haven't played FFVIII, $10 is a pretty fair price to play arguably one of the best games in the series.

Final Fantasy VIII PSN Coming to Europe Soon
Posted on 2009/10/01 by Shawn
Square Enix recently released Final Fantasy VIII on the Japanese PlayStation Store to mark the start of TGS 2009, making European and North American fans wondering when the game would hit their shores.
Final Fantasy VIII was a radical departure from Final Fantasy VIII, using more life-life character models and foregoing the usual magic and stat-building process w/ a new Junctioning feature which used magic to augment your stats.
According to a comment by Mike Kebby (PlayStation Store Team, SCEE) in the latest PlayStation Store update, Europeans can expect to be able to purchase the game in the next few weeks. No word on a date for North America, but it is likely Sony and Square Enix will be releasing the game close to one another for both regions.

Dissidia's Missing Characters: Main Series
Posted on 2008/11/09 by Ronin90
It's been heavily promoted that Dissidia: Final Fantasy is a celebration of 20 years of Final Fantasy and for that reason, it features the two characters from the first ten iterations of Final Fantasy's main series.
The inclusion of some and exclusion of others has been a definite talking point amongst fans of the series, as some will sorely be missed in the line-up. Others could really stake a claim too, but were excluded anyway, sometimes for not straight-forward reasons.
We've compiled a bit of a wish list of characters we'd like to have seen included from the main franchise, and who knows, they may even appear at some point as downloadable content. It's important to remember that this list also breaks the rules of one antagonist and one protagonist per game.
Hit the jump to see the list.
