"Change The Future" is the title for this Final Fantasy XIII-2 trailer for the New York Comic Con. Available in North-America for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on January 31, 2012.
A remade version of the game is coming to the PC and PS3
Final Fantasy XIV was released in September of last year for the PC and was plagued with bad glitches and bugs. As a result, the PS3 version of the MMO was delayed until the PC version's issues were addressed. Square Enix has now revealed a remade version of the game, set to be released in fourth quarter of 2012. This new version 2.0 will be implimented between October and December of 2012 and then will be release at retail for both the PC and PS3 in the beginning of 2013.
The former PS2 game now has an HD version in development.
During Sony's Pre-TGS press conference, Square Enix revealed the development of an HD version of Final Fantasy X for the game's tenth anniversary. The game, announced on stage by producer Shinji Hashimoto, is in the early stages of development, so Square Enix did not release any assets to coincide with this announcement.

The direct follow-up to Final Fantasy XIII also made an appearance at the Sony press conference.
We all know that Final Fantasy XIII was more of a linear experience - a trait that many long time fans of the series took issue with. While the game offered amazing graphics and a unique approach to the traditional RPG gameplay, for many it still left something to be desired. It was clear based on the brief demo I played, that XIII-2 would not follow that same linear structure. The world I encountered when I finally got to play the game was much more open, and perhaps contained more possibilities. I can't stress enough how much of an improvement this will be over the previous title if it manages to offer the same gameplay throughout the entire quest.
While a remake, this solid tactics game is one that fans of the genre shouldn't miss.
Tactics Ogre is what you might call a “Tactics RPG.” This means that it’s like an RPG in every way except that battles occur on a pseudo-3D grid. If you’ve ever played Final Fantasy Tactics you’ll know what to expect. I’ve even seen an ad for Tactics Ogre that explicitly said “from the creators of Final Fantasy Tactics.” It’s practically a sequel. Right off the bat I can tell you that if you like that game, you’re definitely going to like this one.
Advent Children: The Game (feat. Kefka)
Dissidia 012, as you probably already know, is an RPG/fighting hybrid which pits characters from various Final Fantasy titles against each other. The deities Cosmos and Chaos have summoned all the greatest heroes and villains from the series to fight as their own personal armies, and the characters’ memories have been erased, so they don’t remember anything about their origins. It’s kind of depressing, actually.
I can't put the game down.
Literally, I'm typing this with one hand, as I hang out in virtual strip clubs blowing up anyone who gets in my gun's sights.
A beautiful celebration of the classic, old-school RPG.
Final Fantasy is one of gaming's longest-running and most prestigious series. It started humbly as the expected swan song for sinking Japanese game developer Square Soft, but its surprising success has made the series and its developer a forerunner in the gaming world. These days Final Fantasy seems to be caught up in its own limelight. The 4 Heroes of Light takes the now bloated and flashy cut scenes and increasingly complex gameplay formula and shakes it back down to its core. What stands in its place is a celebration of the series' roots.
After a week of waiting, the final pre-release character of Mario Sports Mix has been revealed to be...Suraimu?
Last week the Japanese Mario Sports Mix site revealed a number of characters for the upcoming title. While these characters turned out to be Final Fantasy themed, one last question space remained blank on the site.
