nice final fantasy headline with a picture of the new tomb raider with squeenix launch lineup. Not confusing at all.
Today Square Enix Japan opened a teaser website revealing Final Fantasy Dimensions, an iOS title that's due out this summer. Unfortunately that site reveals absolutely nothing else.
Unless, of course, you recognize the logo. Yes, it's the same logo for Final Fantasy Legends: Warriors of Light and Darkness, a 2D RPG that was released episodically on Japanese cell phones in 2010-11. In revealing their E3 2012 lineup today, Square Enix included Final Fantasy Dimensions among the titles, which is listed as an Android title in addition to iOS.
Aside from Final Fantasy Dimensions, Square Enix will also be showing Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance and Heroes of Ruin (both 3DS titles) at the show, so stay tuned next week for news, media and impressions!
Otherwise its 3 japanese developed titles from them, 2 western, and a whole lot of published nonsense

No Pippin releases? HAHA Who would want Square Enix to develop for a superior console (The Pippin) anyway?
FFD seems to be a translation and iOS port of Final Fantasy Legends: Warriors of Light and Darkness. Shares the same logo outside of localized title text.
Wow, what an awesome line-up!! There's Tomb Raider and...................................................................................................................................................................................... yay, Tomb Raider! I can't wait!
Oh, hey, Square, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you show off some of your own games in development like Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Final Fantasy Type-0, or Bravely Default? No? Didn't think so. Nevermind.

I was really hoping for an announcement of Final Fantasy Type 0 for digital download(you know that really awesome Final Fantasy PSP game released only in Japan.) They can keep Tomb Raider and the iOS stuff. Its funny how they continue to ignore the fans cries...
Where on earth are those DS/3DS remakes of FFV & VI? They haven't said a word about them in 2 years.
Anyway, hopefully they'll announce the new release date for Tomb Raider.

Demon's Score sounded like my cup of tea until I realized it is a mobile game. V.V
Otherwise I am keeping close tabs on Sleeping Dogs. I am genuinely hoping it surprises us all and does not got the expected route. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy will be a goofy romp sometime down the road. Here is to hoping for some news of FF Versus, though that may just be a pipe dream.

For a while, I've been wanting Square-Enix to use the mobile platform to develop new FF games in the old 16-bit style. If Dimensions is indeed a localization of Warriors of Light and Darkness, then I am pleased as bunch. Looking at the random videos around the web of the Japanese title, that's exactly what this game appears to be.
It will be interesting to see if they stick with the episodic model or if they release it as one large game, as they did with FFIV: The After Years.

I've pretty much placed Vs 13 on the cancelled list. Square is dead to me. It's a shame as it seems just about all the Japanese companies are merely a shadow of their former glory.
It's a good day for iPhone users! Hopefully these games are actually good. S-E games stopped being guaranteed gold a long time ago.
Where's Bravely Default? And XV?
Those better be surprise announcements, Square. You butt muffins.
Excited for Quantum, Theatrhythm and Dogs, though.

Would someone be kind enough to remind me when square enix announced Versus XIII so i can know how annoyed i should be?
where's my FFX Anniversary Edition(which is July 9 for the 11th anniversary) as well as FFV and FFVI Remake(either 3DS or PS Vita; using either sprite HD like FFIV Complete Edition or Bravely Default style)
oh and Versus XIII please!!!!!!!
oh and Versus XIII please!!!!!!!
How about a Final Fantasy XV with a strong, new creative lead going for a game with original characters who are not shojo/shonen manga tropes, evolutionary gameplay features, distinct presentation and an intelligent storyline that doesn't pander to the vapid Kingdom Hearts crowd?
Maybe one day.

I heard XII was like that during production, but rumor goes Matsuno left after frustration with his superiors wanting younger heroes (Basch got turned down as hero, then so did Balthier until Vaan was forced into the role) and a less political story compared to the work he originally proposed. Parts of his vision still shine through, but then I look at Penelo in her hot pants and Ashe in her "not-pants" and can't help but sigh in disappointment.
Cynically and personally speaking, I think if a Japanese company feels they have to cater to a bottom-feeding, lowest-common-denominator audience who only want to watch and play with shallow jailbait just to barely stay in the black, then that company probably doesn't deserve to stay in business. I want better for series like Final Fantasy, Parasite Eve, and Metroid.

SE has been a sock-cooker for quite sometime now. I just don't get them. One of the main reason I bought my PS3 was because of the announcement of Kingdom Hearts 3 for the fricking PS3. Then I was happy to hear about The Last Remnant for the PS3. Then once again for FF XIII- versus....yet none of these titles are nowhere to be found. In the days of the PS2 SE could have done no wrong. What the fuck SE...WHAT THE FUCK!?!?

All in all, XII was anyway a major, brilliant department from previous entries, both in gameplay and storytelling, and deserves better aknowledgement for its credits. I've always felt that that game could have led Square to a more grown-up line of stories, closer in script to modern media narrative, but unfortunately it never happened (for shame). But as it stands, even with some parts of the game feeling a bit cut-cornered (an anticlimatic ending that struggles to create a clear antagonist for itself, while the development of "the last boss" could have led to a great "Delita" character), Final Fantasy XII remains one of the few eastern games with a script enjoyable for gamers past their teens (Final Fantasy Tactics being the first other coming to mind).
