So far, Square Enix has delivered Final Fantasy VII, VIII and IX via the Playstation Store. Now producer Shinji Hashimoto has announced Final Fantasy Chocobo’s Mysterious Dungeon is set to join the lineup of Square Enix classics.

There were no other details announced apart from the fact that the game is being brought to PSN, but if Square Enix are as quick to produce as they have been with the other PSN titles, then expect to have this game on your PS3 or PSP by the end of the month.

The price is likely to be similar to Final Fantasy Tactics or Vagrant Story which sell for $7.99.

We all know that cosplayers have some of the most insane sense of dedication. From slaving away from dawn to dusk on their next best costume to painstakingly concentrating on even the most minute of details on a prop, it really requires an impressive amount of patience and dedication.

Well, then what does that say about these two ladies that snuck into an abandoned warehouse just to get a suitable setting for their Final Fantasy X-2 cosplay photoshoot?

Looks like Tetsuya Nomura is putting The 3rd Birthday's Twitter account to full use. Earlier this week he kicked off by saying that he was under orders to tweet about Square Enix's reboot of Parasite Eve; however, he'll now be using it to provide fans with updates on other games that he is working on, like Final Fantasy Versus and Agito XIII.

Alright well this isn't exactly Final Fantasy related news, but hey, it's about everyone's favourite designer, Tetsuya Nomura.

Apparently, he's been spotted on Twitter, although according to him, he's only posting because he's "under orders" to do so. Now Square Enix's Yoichi Wada and Shinji Hashimoto have been known to be quite the Twitter fiends, posting up a storm on the Square Enix Members Twitter feed. However, Tetsuya Nomura himself has yet to actually join the craze.

He's made two tweets so far...

Check your mailboxes people, and I mean your physical ones, not the electronic counterparts. Apparently Square Enix has been mailing out some free goodies to Square Enix Members who have registered their games on the site.

According to DualShockers, Square Enix has mailed several high quality postcards to fans. They include printouts of Final Fantasy XIII, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep as well as Star Ocean The Last Hope.

Anybody here lucky enough to receive said goodies from your favourite developer? Makes me wish I had registered my games. In any case, check out the postcards, courtesy of DualShockers.

Eat your heart out fangirls, this week's cosplay feature proves that I'm not just browsing the web for good looking gals in Final Fantasy outfits (Okay, maybe I am). Anyway, back on topic. As usual, let's start off with who we've already showcased and they would be,

• blacklash90 as Oerba Yun Fang from Final Fantasy XIII


• Stella as Stella Nox Fleuret from Final Fantasy Versus XIII


• RainerTachibana as Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII

Yeah we're going to need a page for them cosplays eventually.

Genesis Rhapsados is the man of the week. Cosplayed by Otaru-Shirou, who has also cosplayed other characters including Squall from FFVIII and Riku from Kingdom Hearts II. Check out his killer cosplay after the jump, and more over at his deviantArt page. From the leather to the rapier and let's not forget his hair too, Otaru-Shirou makes a splendid Genesis.

And I'm sure the fangirls agree.

Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest Legend Heading To Virtual Console

Looks like Square Enix's beginner-friendly Final Fantasy will be heading towards Nintendo's Virtual Console in the near future. Mystic Quest first appeared on the SNES as a spinoff from the proper Final Fantasy titles and was "simplified" to say the least.

The game's been approved by Australia's Classification Board and it appears that Nintendo will be handling the publishing, meaning the game is set for release on Virtual Console.

How many have actually played this title? I vaguely remember being quite unimpressed by it back in the day.
