Final Fantasy FXN Network News

Finally! Actual details of the battle system... kinda. Even though the whole interview was supposed to be on the battle system, they still managed to not reveal a whole lot.

One very interesting detail I noticed: you can chain any kind of attacks you want, and the game will execute each attack fluidly, as if it was one big combo limit break that was meant for the character (no awkward pauses in between). That means you won't be seeing the same animations over and over again, it'll be different every time! (Well, unless every time you use the same combo, but depending on the situation, the same attack move will still be different, I think.) Pretty nifty.

Anyway, go, read more!

Square Enix will be holding a party in Japan on May 12 and 13 which will be open to anyone and will be free of charge. The first SE party gave out the release date of FFXII and several other tidbits, so there will hopefully be some exclusive information in regards to FNC coming out of this event.

I have been away for a few days so this is a little late in the report.

This is an image that has been shown in several scans lately, but this is a high quality HD(720p) version.

This issue describes the most anticipated PS3 titles in 2008. Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Gran Turismo , Resident Evil 5 and Final Fantasy XIII are mentioned as being some of the most anticipated titles of 2008.

It is also pointed out that FFXIII is only 2% done. This contradicts previous reports of the game being 3% complete.

To little surprise Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed that Final Fantasy XIII will not make it's debut on the PLAYSTATION 3 in 2007. Nomura and company told Famitsu in a recent article that Square Enix still has to wrap up other yet-to-reach-retail projects, such as Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, Crisis Core:Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete.

Both Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy XIII will be the last games to use the White Engine. Epic's Unreal Engine 3(The same Engine which powered Gears of War).

SE specified no games which would be using the Unreal Engine, however the next major game that comes to mind could be Kingdom Hearts III.

The move had a few complications and as a result it took a little longer than I had expected, however everything on the site should be back online, however if there are any problems accessing any pages, then please notify me immediately.

EDIT: The forums are now back online!

Within the next week(this weekend if I am lucky) the site will make a move over to a new server. There will probably be some down-time as a result, but I dont think it will be for too long of a time.
