  • SE Europe On Final Fantasy X HD: “The world will get answers soon”

    Some interesting news today, Square Enix Europe told one of their fans on Twitter when asked about Final Fantasy X HD that “The world will get answers soon, we promise.”

    The much anticipated HD Remaster of the PS2 classic Final Fantasy X was announced at Sony’s TGS conference back in 2011. Little to no information about the game has been released leading many to believe that the project was canned. Final Fantasy X HD is supposed to be released on both the PS3 and PS Vita.

    For comparison, a Kingdom Hearts HD collection going by the title of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMIX was announced at last year’s TGS and is confirmed for release in 2013. So it would make sense for fans to be worried for a game that was announced earlier to stay in the dark for so long.

    I don’t remember much about that anymore,

    You know, when you work on one specific project, a lot of time passes from when you first start talking about it to when you’re done… As Final Fantasy goes on, I’ve just done so much that I’m not—you know, it could’ve been five years that I’d worked on that project and I only did it every 13 days or something like that.

    The last we heard about Final Fantasy Versus XIII was back a weeks back where the game’s director Tetsuya Nomura talked about how the game’s development was steadily continuing.

  • Another Final Fantasy XIV Failure Could ‘Destroy’ Square Enix Says Director

    Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn director Noaki Yoshida talking with Kotaku went raw and talked about how they would never make a mistake like Final Fantasy XIV ever again.

    We won’t make a mistake like FF14 again – if we did, it would be like at the level of destroying the company,

    Yoshida talked about how many of the Square Enix employees themselves were worried about the game’s launch in that state.

    When I heard that it was going to go on sale as planned, I thought, that will probably be a big mistake

    Yoshida also talked about how some of Final Fantasy XIV’s problems stemmed from its design approach. Square Enix’s most profitable Final Fantasy yet – Final Fantasy XI was initially designed to look like Everquest, but Final Fantasy XIV was made to be different and not be a competitor. Check out the full interview via the link above.

  • Nomura’s work on Lightning Returns is complete

    Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura’s work on the upcoming conclusion to the Final Fantasy XIII saga, Lightning Returns, is now complete.

    Nomura’s work on this game was quite minimal, just like with the previous two games. He is handling the designs of the main characters, such as Lightning, Snow and Hope who will all appear in the game.

    “For Lightning Returns I created new costumes for Lightning and Snow. My work on the project is already finished,” said Nomura. Perhaps now he can get back to work on Final Fantasy Versus XIII. 

    Making of Nomuras work on Lightning Returns is complete

    However, Lightning’s new look is not being revealed as yet. Apparently, in this new title, Lightning will be “stronger than ever”. Her story will finally be coming to a close, so they want her to be determined and strong. Lets hope her new design can be a reflection of those traits.

    The release date for Lightning Returns has not been revealed as yet, but it can be expected to release in 2013.

    Thanks, Sokuhou@Hokanko.
