The many "TBA" Final Fantasy games - We want more info, Square!

Gothic Girl | November 02, 2007 | Pictures | Playstation 3 DS

EGM have dedicated a page of this month's issue to the fairly large array of Final Fantasy games that have recently (and not-so-recently) been announced, yet haven't had much information divulged since then. The magazine tried their best to piece together what little info has been released.

It's a shame that one-and-a-half years have passed since Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII were announced, and yet fans still don't know much about the game's details, let alone the characters that will appear.

And despite Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core being released in Japan last September, there is still no news on an English release. No release date, no voice cast, no box art, nothing.

Okay, fans can look past the fact that Final Fantasy: Dissidia and the various Kingdom Hearts spin-offs were only just announced, but I'm sure it won't be long until fans are practically begging for any info on the games.

What ever happened to the days when Square would release information (no matter how small the tidbit) left, right and center?
Square, if you're going to announce a game, then don't forget about it for a year, and leave the fans hanging.

We now have the EGM Scans from this months issue. There isn't much new but a short summary of each TGS trailer which we've read before.

Pieces from the scan:

Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core: This long-awaited PSP prequel might actually redeem the hitherto underwhelming "Compilation of FFVII".

Final Fantasy XIII: We spied a third potential party member - a scantily clad brunette with pigtails.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII: Here, the vibe isn't sci-fi/fantasy, but rather a slick mashup of gritty mafia drama.

Final Fantasy Dissidia Looks better than previous FF fighter "Ehrgeiz"

Kingdom Hearts: Will keep the 'mouseketeers' occupied.

I think They are doing a similar thing to way God of War directors are doing, which is not giving much info about that game which could spoil anything about it. Though i think we need to just relax they know what there doing.

As for the TBA status well that what happens when you have two system's your making games for things takes time.

Your comment is bull, final blade, so much has been released about the game, you could probably piece half the story together, just look in the FFXIII forum.

I don't think it's that big of a deal, considering most of the FF games are separated over 1-1 1/2 years. A few Square Enix games have been released, and they are of medium playability. I would just wait for them, the TBA status hasn't really been on long.

  Really cause last i check we still don't know enough about FF13 hence why this article talks about it, also i was talking about God of War creators and how they do things, tell me do you know anything about Chains of Olympus besides what they told us. No we don't cause they felt the info they gave about god of war 2 spoiled the game since it was straight forward. Also like i stated before Since there is two systems your making games for info will not be easy to come by. For example if your making lets say 8 games will the info for all of them be released..no or i highly doubt it.

The only games there I'm really looking forward to are Crisis Core and Kingdom Hearts.
