The
official site for
Final Fantasy Dissidia has opened today. Tragically, there's very little to it beyond a short flash intro. "Fantasy is endless", it says. You don't say. Twelve "Final" Fantasies so far with a
decade more to come? Some might definitely call that endless. Fine by me, I'll take as much as they can give. As the site says, more information will be revealed at the
Square Enix Party later this month.
The
Dissidia flash itself is a bit bare, despite some pretty
character logo art by
Nomura Yoshitaka Amano. By checking another part of the Square Enix website (namely the PSP section of the upcoming games list), we can see
Dissidia nestled at the top, confirming our suspicions that it will definitely be coming to our favourite handheld.
Check it out and see for yourself!
We'll keep you posted as more information becomes available.
[UPDATE] The logo art is by Yoshitaka Amano, not Tetsuya Nomura as originally thought. Nomura will, however, be doing the character art for the game itself.
[Thanks, Silver Wolfe!]

Final Fantasy Tactics is coming to Japan in just
a few days, and Square Enix is beginning their media assault on the public. Proudly proclaiming that it's coming for PSP, the
Tactics remake ads interweave beautiful cutscenes and engrossing gameplay into one tantalizing experience. When importers get their hands on the final game, we're sure to hear more about this hotly anticipated remake. Until then, watch these commercials, after the cut.

Kingdom Hearts Network has translated a recent issue of Famitsu. This particular issue is of interest because there is an interview with Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura. In the interview, Nomura talks about the future of Kingdom Hearts: "The announcement time of a new KH project might be announced soon."
Of particular interest to PSP owners: "The multi-developing makes me want to put it on something else without thinking. If we follow this idea, it would be hard to choose if to make the game for the PSP, NDS or the cell phone."
Not the best translation, but I think we all get the idea. Kingdom Hearts on PSP could be the best team-up for PSP owners since Final Fantasy and Disney.

Unfortunately, it appears that the UK version of the
Final Fantasy remakes are not yet confirmed for the UK, according to
CVG. The title is currently "to be decided."
While we don't think Square Enix would miss an opportunity to milk Europeans for their money (look at the game's pricing), impatient gamers can import the
Asian version of the classic RPGs. In an unexpected move, these UMDs feature
both English and Japanese language options.
Those that have picked up an import copy seem to have high praise for the remakes. A
Neo-Geo forum user notes that the CG intro "isn't all that," but the "game looks freakin' nice on the PSP screen ... [and] music and sound quality seem top end too."

What do you think a remake of a decades-old RPG should cost? $5? $10? How about $20? Well, Square Enix has a surprise for you. The
Final Fantasy remakes are heading to the US for a whopping $30
each.
Final Fantasy, rated E10+, will ship to retailers on June 26, 2007. Final Fantasy II, rated T, will ship to retailers on July 24, 2007.
Executive Producer Shinji Hashimoto states in the latest press release: "It is amazing to see how far Final Fantasy has come in the past twenty years, and we cannot wait to continue bringing fans more Final Fantasy titles in the next 20 years." Of course, if Square Enix continues to price games this way, gamers may not be able to afford their games. Remember the original Final Fantasy I & II collection on Game Boy Advance? Each individual UMD costs the same as that cartridge from years ago. This really is a shame, Square.

We're sure a game like Final Fantasy doesn't really need advertising--but it especially doesn't need bad advertising. Square takes a page from Nintendo's Japanese commercials and sets their commercial in a creepily sterile white room. A woman seems to be happily enjoying the soon-to-be-released Final Fantasy remake ... but maybe a bit too much? Happy gameplay footage! Scary woman! That's what I think, anyway.

Not too many games are big enough to warrant a box art story. Well, this one
is. The Japanese
Final Fantasy Tactics is as pretty as
the game itself. Click the image above to see a full, high-res version of the box. What do you think? Does it get you any more excited for the game?

We knew it all along: Square Enix is bringing a ton of Final Fantasy love to PSP: beyond Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy Tactics and Crisis Core. We still don't know what these other titles can be, but the end of the latest Final Fantasy trailer teases us: "The World of Final Fantasy spread out on PSP."
Let the speculation recommence!

Square Enix has revealed the logo for this year's
Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary celebration. This isn't incredibly exciting news, but surely it's something
Final Fantasy fans will want to see. If that's not enough for you,
The Magic Box has said that Square Enix will be revealing a new
Final Fantasy title at their party on May 12th. Perhaps we'll be getting another PSP
Final Fantasy game. We'll all just have to wait and see. As terrible and agonizing as that wait may be.

Warning: the following screenshots of
Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core are not suitable for those who are pregnant, nursing, suffering heart disease, or have high blood pressure. Why? You may simply
faint at how gorgeous these shots, available at
Jeux-France, are. Ripped straight from Famitsu, these screenshots showcase quite possibly the best graphics on PSP so far. Hopefully, it'll play just as good.

At least if the US version is to have the same features as the Japanese one . Square Enix has told IGN that the Japanese version of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War will have two player battles with a red team vs a blue team so that there is no confusion as to who you should injure mid-combat. Also you will have a limited number of turns to be victorious, thus preventing a tactics wimp from just running during an entire battle. I can't see them cutting this feature in the US given the popularity of multiplayer in the US, but I suppose we'll have to wait for confirmation to be sure.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War may just be an upgraded port, but I can't help but get excited by it whenever I see new screens. In particular I love the addition of cinemas and the sketchy look of them. Though the battle scenes do look better than the PS1 original. If you love tactics games like me, check out the rest of the new screenshots.
More screens after the jump ...

I have good news and bad news for PSP owning Final Fantasy fans. Both are release date related. Firstly Tetsuya Nomura has said that Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII will have it's release date revealed soon. I'm sure almost every PSP owner is looking forward to that info. Unfortunately Square Enix has delayed the release of Final Fantasy II Anniversary Edition. Now instead of coming out in May in Japan, it will be out in June. While there hasn't been any official release date given for either Anniversary title outside of Japan, this delay will likely push back whatever those release dates were to be. Is there anyone more excited for the Anniversary Editions than Crisis Core? I'm personally excited for Crisis Core the most out of the PSP Final Fantasy projects thus far.

Square Enix has shown a lot of love to the PSP lately and that's why PSP owners should keep special interest in one of their upcoming events. Square Enix has announced that they'll be having the Square Enix Party 2007 on May 12-13 in Tokyo, Japan. They'll host the event at the Makuharai Fair and will show off current and upcoming games in trailer and playable forms. Since there are several Square Enix PSP projects it should be an interesting event.
Maybe Final Fantasy: Crisis Core will be playable at the event and better yet, maybe more new titles will be announced.

It's the party that every Final Fantasy nerd (myself included) wants to go to: the Square Enix Party, happening later in May. With the exception of one mystery "never before seen" Final Fantasy game, Square has announced their list of games available on the showfloor:
