Final Fantasy gains a voice, and faith in the series begins to waver for the first time.
Welcome to the fourth part of our long look at the Final Fantasy series, in celebration of its 25th anniversary. In our last installment, we talked about how Square stunned the gaming world by leaving their longtime home of Nintendo platforms for the shiny new world of CD technology with Sony's PlayStation. This time, we look at the series in its somewhat shaky transition to voice acting, a controversial but successful transition into the online space, and the first game in the series to have real problems behind the scenes.
Atlus to release the game this year for PSP.
Atus recently announced via press release and their web site that they will be bringing Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time to North American PSPs this summer. This will be the “enhanced and expanded remaster of the strategy RPG classic,” which was previously available only in Japan where it is known as Growlanser IV: Over Reloaded. The game will be released both on physical media, and digitally on the PlayStation network.
It's a shift in a very positive direction.
The 3DS version of Snake Eater has been moved around quite a bit since its announcement at the 2011 Tokyo Game Show. Originally scheduled for a December 2011 release, the game was pushed back to March 8, 2011 in November to iron out some bugs and prep the game to be compatible with Nintendo’s Circle Pad Pro. Now the date is shifting again, but this time it’s going in a much more favorable direction.
