Final Fantasy updates

As you may know, there have been quite some news about Final Fantasy games lately.

First of all, coming from E3:

Final Fantasy XIV

FFXIV is the sequel to FFXI in the sense that it is a MMO
They currently want to make it a global game, meaning no separate servers depending on the region: Japanese players will be able to play with American players
They are aiming for a release in 2010

Final Fantasy XIII

Summons are once again a central part of the story. Characters will be attached to one summon (not selectable by players). It is not known if more than one summon will be attached to characters or if all characters will have a summon (or more). The attached summons seem to be fixed by the story.

Final Fantasy VII

It’s a direct port of the PlayStation game.
It costs 9.99 US$
Available for download now (1.32GB required)

And finally, news coming from Nintendo:

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

The sequel to the excellent Final Fantasy IV (also known as Final Fantasy II in North America)
Released on WiiWare at the beginning of the week
Contains all the episodes (9) from the cellular game from Japan
Costs 800 Wii points

Project Trico revealed: The Last Guardian (with official HD video)

Team ICO’s next project has finally been revealed at this year’s E3. The game will be called The Last Guardian and looks even more gorgeous than the previous unofficial trailer. This new trailer is very similar to the first one except that the graphics were improved and some scenes were added/removed. The cat/rat/eagle beast looks slightly different too. Anyway, I strongly recommend that you check the embedded video at Gametrailers in HD.

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.

Golden Sun DS

This was just announced at the Nintendo Press conference at the E3. There will be a sequel to the wonderful Golden Sun series on the Nintendo DS. If you haven’t played the Golden Sun games on the Gameboy Advance, I strongly recommend you play them both.

Not much is known about the game yet, but it’s supposed to be released in Spring 2010.
