Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is dated for 16th September! There's regular edition, a limited edition with a "remix" mini-soundtrack, and a full collector's edition that's (sadly) only available from Square's online store.

Also, the fourth round of DLC hit Japan this week: including new character Orlandeau (from Final Fantasy Tactics).

I must have read that wrong.

Anyway, still looking forward to it.

A quick question. Should I get a realm reborn? I mean 15$ a month isn't much but still, I'm not sure if its worth the purchase.

I've played it quite a bit, it was a lot of fun I think. Definitely one of the best MMOs I've played.

Kingdom Hearts HD II.5 Remix Coming out Dec 2nd (US)/Dec 5th (EU). $39.99.

WHOO-HOO! A little late, but who cares? Finally dated!! It will probably release this month or next month in Japan. Make sure you watch through the end. A little bit of KHIII new info. "Lost Masters", ehh?

*PS3 only. Please no port begging. Go buy a $30 PS2 if you really want to play the games. Or go emulate them.

Currently playing Final fantasy 10 remake the graphics are so nice. I also noticed it's one of those games to can fully complete it but in a few years you go back and do it all over again cause it's so good.

There's a novella set after Lightning Returns. And Hope is in his adult age here. Man, it seems Lightning like dem shotacon! Well, I guess older Hope doesn't count as shotacon anymore. Still, while everyone else is the same age they were when they went to the new universe, Hope is suddenly mature Hope again.

Plot twist: Hope Estheim is Motomu Toriyama.

I'm pretty sure it's because Hope actually aged during the events of XIII-2. None of the other characters did.

Serah aged, didn't she? She went from like 19yo to 21yo. And Snow also aged. Chocobo hair and all that.

Wait, wait, wait. I haven't played LRFFXIII yet, but I don't know. Why is Hope young again in LR? Did he regress in age and body but kept the same intellect he had as the older Hope who helped build the new Cocoon Bhunivelze? And when they entered the new universe, Hope got his older body back?

Serah and Snow barely aged, they didn't change in appearance much at all.

Spoiler: XIII-3 Spoilers

Hope isn't really Hope, he's just something created by Bhunivelze so Lightning will trust it.

Spoiler: FFXIII trilogy, everyone!

Just read the FFXIII Wiki... LR Hope is the same adult Hope that helped build Bhunivelze, the name of the new Cocoon. Bhunivelze, the God, then tortured him and controlled him, while also turning his body back into his younger self because it represents purity and innocence more. Skip LR and go to final boss fight, Bhunivelze takes control of Hope's body, and Hope's soul is freed. After the fight, Hope's soul is saved, and our heroes are now in the new universe. Hope is reborn with his older body.

So while Serah and Snow are 2 years older, and Dajh is still 6 years old like he was in FFXIII, Hope is 10 or 13 years older, at 24 or 27. Toriyama's now gonna envision himself as Hope, and make Claire his WAIFU.

The Final Fantasy thread is dead, and I don't want to be banned for reviving it from its grave.

Final Fantasy XV demo comes inside every copy of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD. Is titled "Episode Duscae". Also, FFT-0HD confirmed releasing in NA on March 17.

IIRC, the FFXIII demo came out in March 2009 in Japan with the FFVII Advent Children Complete Blu-Ray and Cloud Wolf PS3 bundle, and the full game came out in December that same year. Does this mean FFXV is just a little over a year now?

They really should also release the game on Vita. The first game has an iOS port, and porting to Vita wouldn't cost much. Plus, better audio and not SD CG background cutscenes.

Anyways, Game Informer took down the link (lol). It was still under embargo. Whoooops!

I necro'd it for you. I'm considering changing the bumping rules since we're not busy around here.

I barely even know what Type 0 is, but I'll consider getting it for that demo.

I picked it up yesterday, played the demos for the first and Curtain Call and enjoyed it. Only thing I don't like are the arrow notes.

porting to Vita wouldn't cost much.

Yes it would.

Yo! Thanks! And you didn't even need a Phoenix Down to revive it! (Scumbag Cloud)

It's a PSP FF game (quite horrible actually, from what others have said of the game. But it's "DARK" and "MATURE"!) that started out as Final Fantasy vs XIII Agito. Fans asked for years to localize it outside Japan, and when Squeenix finally listens, it's... now remastered on PS4/Xbone. Maybe now it won't have long loading times, and actually be good.

The game will have a download code for FFXV, but apparently, SE isn't even sure if it will be available at launch (LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)

Yes it would.

It will cost money, but it will be cheaper than creating a brand new game from scratch. And they've ported the first game to iOS, which means they're willing to spend a bit more money to widen the audience and get an even bigger profit overall.

Oh that's what FF vs XIII turned into.

Even in Japan though the Vita doesn't have as big an install base as iOS or the 3DS does, so I don't think it would really be worth it.

 

[Akwakwak]

I was in middle school when this game was announced, I now have a Masters degree.

But in all seriousness, I'm pretty excited for Type-0 though. I know there are fan translations but why not play it in HD. Although it's nice to know we get a demo for FF XV 8 years later, geez.

Square Enix cares.

No? FFversusXIII became FFXV. FFversusXIII Agito was a completely different game. The failed Fabula Nova Crystallis trilogy was meant to have three games, composed of FFXIII, FFversusXIII, and FFversusXIII Agito (which I think was meant as a cell phone game at first).

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD sold really well in Japan. The Vita has Final Fantasy fans. The Vita has also had Hatsune Miku and other rhythm games. The 3DS has sold 10M+ in Japan, while Vita has only sold ~3M, but that doesn't mean sales of the 3DS version will be 4x as much. A whole lot more people own iPhones and iPads, but the 3DS version still made more money. If Squeenix bothered to release FFXIII for the abysmal selling Xbox 360 in Japan a whole year after the PS3 version, then they surely can port the game to Vita.

At this point though, they'll have to add more stuff since it will be old by then. The director said this would be the last FF themed Theatrhytm game. If the next game were to be DQ or KH themed, and was on both 3DS and Vita, I doubt the sales difference would be big enough that SE will regret making a Vita version.


PS
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD 25 minutes of footage was released on IGN a few hours earlier. Too bad they took it down. Looked GREAT though! The graphics overhaul was much bigger than I thought.

God, too many XIII games to keep track of.

Fo'realz. That's 5 games in this stupid FNC "trilogy".

Anyways, a kind soul saved the video before it went down. It's probably already up on Youtube though, but if not, here it is.

You can definitely see the PSP roots. And wow, loading each room instead of a seamless transition? Tsk tsk tsk what is this, the PS2 era?
