Final Fantasy XIV was just announced at Sony’s press conference at the E3. Not much is known yet, but it’s supposed to be a PS3 exclusive and have some online features.

Sony has just announced that Final Fantasy VII will be available for download over the PlayStation Network today. This is great news for people who have been waiting for a port/remake for so long. So if you have a PSP, you’ll be able to play this classic that changed the role playing genre anywhere you want.

I remember when I first discovered the fantastic world of japanese RPGs; I was very young, too young to be able to play, but a few images stick in my head.

I was probably around 5 to 8 years old at a family Christmas party. My older cousin and my dad were discussing this new game called Final Fantasy. They had trouble playing because they didn’t know how to create a party approprietly. This is the first image I remember:

Yes, that is a 4 black belts party. Of course I didn’t really know what it was and it was all a bit overwhelming to me so I didn’t play that game until much later. I didn’t hear more about Final Fantasy or any other RPG until years later when my father bought Dragon Warrior.
