Final Fantasy IV Remake Trailer Dazzles

Oh course it does! It's mostly cut scenes. Still, here ya go: The new Final Fantasy IV for the DS trailer. The game is being developed by Matrix Software, who was also being the Final Fantasy III remake. From the footage, looks like they've done another fine job of enhancing one of Square's (and gaming's) best RPGs.

Thanks creamsugar!

The Merchandise

After an appointment in a nearby hotel, I came back into convention center and after seeing a door that said "re-entry only", slipped inside. As I got down to the bottom of the stairs I noticed things that looked a little different. This certainly wasn't the show floor I had left a half an hour before. Upon looking around I realized I had been dumped off into the merchandise room and snce I am rather fond of that sort of thing I figured I'd stick around and take some pictures. I mainly stuck to the Capcom and Square booths, both of which were filled to the brim with things to make my bank account shrink. Check out the gallery below for a bountiful bevy of action figures, statuettes, jewelery and t-shirts. I think I'm going to become the official Kotaku merchandise photographer after this trip. now if I can only figure our how to get them to let me expense my toy purchases...

A Real Look at Square Enix's Virtual Store

Good news, Square Enix figurine collectors! Squeenix is going to open up their own online shop to sell their wares directly to the consumer, bypassing other stores. They wanted to make sure they could have the collectibles online and available at launch to make available to collectors. A spokesman said: More »

Square-Enix Announces... Destiny's Child Game?

At long last, Square-Enix fans can shut down their fansites, toss out their petitions, wrap up their fanfics, as the company has announced the game everyone has been demanding: Destiny's Child Groove. That's right, no Vagrant Story sequel for you. Forget about that next-gen Einhander game. You get a mobile dance game featuring Beyonce, Kelly Roland and Michelle Williams, known collectively as Destiny's Child. More »

Final Fantasy XII Intro

Thanks to the insidious software piracy movement for first warezing Final Fantasy XII a month before release and then uploading the opening movie to YouTube. I have no real comments, except, you know, it looks like Square-Enix isn't skimping on their past design methodology of having more CGI than gameplay. Also, with the appearance of the rabbit-eared women, Final Fantasy finally gets furries.

Final Fantasy XII DS Title Announced

I'll admit to being very likely to buy Final Fantasy XII upon release. I've been looking for a good, repetitive, random-battle RPG for quite sometime, and I haven't played any Final Fantasy titles since the seventh. More »

Final Fantasy Goes Thriller

What did Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within have to do with the Final Fantasy video game series? The hell if I know... in response to my question "Where the hell was Cloud?", I vaguely remember the fan boy ramblings from my friend John about "materia" and "Mother Gaia" when we wandered out of the matinee, but ultimately, I like to think the answer is "nothing at all."

"Dragon Quest" is French for "Dragon Quest VIII"

We all know that localization takes time, but I had no idea that it could take this long. In 1986, Japanese developer Enix (now Square Enix) released RPG Dragon Quest. The game was a smash, and spawned seven sequels. It took three years for the first entry in the series to make it to American shores. Apparently, it has taken longer elsewhere. Writes Insert Credit's Brandon Sheffield, currently in France: More »

Plug, Play, Slash

Back in 2003, Square released the Kenshin Dragon Quest, plug-and-play with a Wii-mote like sword thingy. Speaking of which, this game is a sneak peak of sorts at the upcoming Wii Dragon Quest game. Kenshin is getting a second wind thanks to Japanese internet threads and positive word of mouth. Supposedly this is one of the better plug-and-plays out there. Not that the competition is exactly staggering, but still. More »

Mario Hoops Summons Cactuar, Mages, Moogles

Mario Hoops 3-on-3—also known as Mario Basketball 3on3 in the east—is becoming increasingly more bizarre. Sure, Mario playing any sport or performing virtually any activity at this point is de rigeur, but the unusual stylus based control scheme, coupled with Final Fantasy mainstays like mages, moogles, and more, make for a strange mushroomy brew.

Final Fantasy III: Then and Now

Yesterday, we posted a rather neat video of Square-Enix's upcoming Final Fantasy III. It showed us that the long loading times of old FF3 builds for the DS have been reduced from long, chunky grindings of internal DS cogs into brief flashes of existential white space. More »

Goblins and Bobble-Heads: Final Fantasy III Game Clip

There's some new Final Fantasy III footage up. It looks absolutely swell: the animations are smooth, the art style appropriately bobble-headed, the synonymous battle theme swells underneath a cliched battle between pixy and goblin. Unfortunately, I just don't like Final Fantasy. Better start learning, though, I guess... I don't see any other Triple A, or even Triple D, RPGs on the DS horizon.

New FFXII Details & Screens

The Magic Box has posted some new and beautiful shots from the upcoming PS3 title Final Fantasy XIII.Some of them are obviously CGI and some of them look like CGI with the interface overlayed. Still, no one can say that Square Enix don't make a pretty game. More »

Final Fantasy XIII E306 Trailer

You've got to love the sort of heroine who can hover upside down in the air for over thirty seconds, shooting a stylized Uzi, yet whose billowy skirt never once falls down over her waist to reveal the fact that the Square-Enix designers failed to model her with panties.

Square Enix Meets the Globe Theatre

ffromeoandjuliet.pngReader "addicted2cosplay" sends in this photo of the poster for the UMass Amherst production of Romeo and Juliet, which should be familiar to fans and even casual players of the Final Fantasy series. The shows appear to be sold out, but I hear the production is mostly repetitive fight scenes interspersed with brief but really nice-looking cut scenes.
