"For those who're wondering, this screenshot is taken from the final few seconds of the Tokyo Game Show trailer, now viewable on the website. Yes, Tifa will be a playable character. This is pretty much SquEnix's worst-kept secret, and they apparently like it that way.
It looks like they'll be adding a lot more over time, so FF buffs might want to keep their bookmarks handy and check back regularly!"
Video games are a medium filled with lousy stories, absurd scenarios and otherwise ridiculous plot points. That said, there are also some real gems out there. The sort that rise above the stupidity of their bretheren and prove that yes, gaming can be a real, honest-to-goodness medium for storytelling. Sadly, few can do this perfectly. Even in the best games there are those moments where you just have to sit back and wonder what they were thinking.
This week: Final Fantasy IV
"As we told you last month, the first two games in the Final Fantasy series are on their way to the iPhone. Here, in Square Enix’s patented iPhone-o-vision, is a trailer for the pair of classic re-releases.
Still no release date, sadly; all we get is a “available soon” at the end of the clip."
With Final Fantasy III hitting Japanese VCs this month, Square Enix have already announced that FFIV will be the next game in the series to be featured on the Virtual Console. This takes takes care of one of the ports mentioned earlier, leaving only two more left, which will be filled up by Final Fantasy V and VI.
Final Fantasy IV hits Japanese Virtual Consoles on August 4. There's still no word on when the titles will make their way to North America.
Final Fantasy IV fans rejoice! The previously Japan/Mobile Phone exclusive sequel, Final Fantasy IV: The After is gong to make it's way to the Wii this year under the westernised title, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.
Electronic Theatre reports on the confirmation of the availability of Official Japanese Import Soundtrack CDs from SquareEnix. The collection includes soundtracks from The Last Remnant, Infinite Undiscovery, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy X and more...
Within the past several years, Square Enix has been on the ball with remakes of their classic Final Fantasy games. And rumors of a remake for the huge and popular Final Fantasy 7 have been been buzzing around the net.
Square Enix president Yoichi Wada explains how there has been a remake boom lately, "The price of games is high, and consumers tend to be wary of buying games they are unfamiliar with".
That's an interesting reason for the increase of remake talk, but SE fans hope they do...
The DS remake of Final Fantasy IV (originally Final Fantasy II in the Western world) has been confirmed by Square Enix to ship to Europe September 5.
Unlike past Final Fantasy remakes, this one has been completely overhauled, transitioning into 3D, boasting a faithful translation, voiced cut scenes, and more.
"North American gamers can look forward to seeing Final Fantasy IV (a re-make of the Super Nintendo original for the Nintendo DS) on July 22; while Square Enix has revealed today that the title will arrive in Europe sometime this summer."
