Most of you that visit our site know my video game weakness - RPGs. What is it about these games that get me so excited? Simple..EVERYTHING. My favorite series has to be Final Fantasy, though a small portion of gamers dislike the series. Why has this series continued to flourish and become one of the most known series from the RPG genre? Because it rocks, plain and simple. I know one of the main blows to the PS3 community was the fact that they lost one of their biggest exclusives: Final Fantasy XIII...but is it as bad as some sony fans are making it seem? Or is Square Enix planning on something even better to provide to their loyal fans?

Despite where some of you think I'm going with this I have nothing but love for the PS3...do I think that Square Enix made a dumb move? No. They were looking at it from a business perspective and I believe they did the right thing. Having a game this big on both the PS3 and X360 might be a way for Sony to show fully what the PS3 can do...think about how many discs this will be on the X360. So Sony fans don't fret...I actually have a little treat for you:


Can you guess what this lovely video is? Yep thats right: FINAL FANTASY VERSUS XIII. It looks absolutely stunning!!! I'm in love. I think all of you Sony Fans should give Square Enix a break...they have been producing such great RPGs for quite a long time and I don't think they wanted to piss off any fans with the move they made but look at it this way. Maybe they will be keeping this sexy beast as an exclusive to the PS3?



I just had to show off this new trailer that was shown at the Microsoft E3 Press conference. This game is going to be absolutely awesome!! I'm excited! I may just buy it for both systems (I will definitely have a PS3 by then).

One of my main reasons I am in a Final Fantasy mood is because of the still continuing rumor of a Final Fantasy VII Remake. I absolutely love this game and I think a remake has been long over due. Will we hear an announcement at either the Tokyo Game Show or Squares own party happening in August: DK�3713. Could they create a remake that embodies all that the fans have loved and add something new to the table without taking away from the story? I'm really interested to hear about more on the Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep that they will be showing off there. We also will hopefully hear of a release date for Final Fantasy XIII...but the biggest question still remains: Will they make a Final Fantasy VII remake?

Im not a FF fan, as I could never seem to get into the series. However, I think Square Enix is making the right move financially for their franchise. Sony fanboys will simply have to get over it, wipe away the tears and cowboy up... or commit suicide like that one kid did (or pretended to, whatever) either way works.

i think i'll wait for the reviews on this jap jap game. it doesn't really appeal to me and this game is one of the games i hate the most its the same a what babyz is to some of you

Miz_Calamity

lol I don't hate Babyz or Imagine Babyz its just not my type of game. If someone bought it for me I would probably play it (they actually have one now called Imagine Babysitter)

Thats right you don't like RPGs lol or atleast Japanese ones. I think you should give this one a chance. Atleast play the demo whenever it comes out.

Square is not doing anything they haven't already done... they left Nintendo high and dry without any further support, which isn't what they are doing with Playstation. It simply amazes me how people can feel slighted by Square-Enix simply because of the console they choose to develope on in addition to the one they already are.

Will they remake FFVII? As much as I would love them to, I highly doubt that they would... unless it's going to be the single most well kept secret in video game developement ever.

As far as I am concerned, SE should just go multiplatform with everything. I own the 3 consoles but I am sure that there will be PS3 owners wanting to play Star Ocean, just like there will be 360 owners wanting to play FF Versus XIII (assuming that Versus still is exclusive.) I think Last Remnant or Infinitie Undiscovery is exclusive to the 360 as well. This just deprives fans of potentialy good games.

That being said, I am crossing my finger for a FFVII remake announcement. It's about time they made another Chrono game as well.

I'm glad Square has chosen to remake some of the older 2D Final Fantasy games first with 3D graphics and cut scenes, like III, which we never got up until the point it was released, and now IV which had a story that, while good, had some rough spots in translation and quality, and also character development which was pretty basic. These earlier games need to be remade so fans newer to the franchise, the ones who started out on FF VII and never looked back, can appreciate them more. FF VII to me is the kind of game that you shouldn't need to really mess with, unlike a remake of III, IV, V and even VI, a remake of FF VII would be hard to top. The story and gameplay are already top notch, the only thing they might be able to improve on are the graphics at least to me. A lot of people seem to want a remake of the game just because... I could be wrong though.

I am sure that Square Enix will release the FF7 remake because they know that it will be a big hit, FF7 has a lot of demand, it was a big hit, that game was so great that they added prequels and sequels but they will not give us an anwser yet, maybe after some months after the release of FFXlll, because if they release it or annouce it in this days it will be bad for business, gamers aguing with themselfs on which one to buy (or something similar to that, that will be definitely a bad move).I think is the same with LucasArts KOTOR, they will say something or even confirm a release after the release of the Force Unleashed. Thats what i think :)
I am preparing myself physically and mentally for FFXlll, i just cant wait.
I also would like a FF8 remake, but i think tat will be asking too much :) nice blog Miz Calamity.

To be honest I was never planing on buying FF13 because all the game is just a female cloud =/
I always wanted vs because it looked the best and the artist who did Crisis Core is working on Versus. I like the psp game so I'm just hoping that Vs will play somewhat like Crisis Core, but on a much higher lv.

FF13 going to XBOX was a blow, but only to the fanboys. People who bought PS3 for FF13 still get the damn game lol so there's is nothing to really cry about besides I could have sworn "ff13 sucks" according to xbox fans, but now its loved. Its like xbox is that annoying little brother that wants everything Sony has. Lets be honest at E3 the only rememberal thing from xbox was a what they got from Sony's pie of games. =/ not very innovative if you ask me

klasco

@miz_Calamity yeah i think will try this one because its coming to 360 i'll make sure i play the demo whenever it comes out.

klasco

...oh forgot add as long as it isn't in a million discs I'll get it for 360 but i have 120g hard drive for it so i could just store it there i wish this was on PC more the consoles since i could get this running on my xps 1530
