And while Square Enix character designer Tetsuya Nomura says that the title is currently running on PSP hardware and spitting out new screen shots, don't expect it any time soon."
"Square Enix’s “Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Extended Talk Show” will begin shortly.
The live stream, as its name suggests, is an extended version of the “Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Talk Show” from the Tokyo Game Show. And unlike its name suggests, it will cover not only Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, but Final Fantasy XV and Final Fantasy Agito, as well."-Gematsu

- Holding defend to evade drains MP, doesn't last forever.
- The attack button is used for basic combos, weapons used are context driven based on equipped weapons and context settings the player selects.
- The skill button is used to do special attacks for the main weapon equipped.
- There will be advanced evasion and attack techniques depending on equipment and control input.
- You can use the sword barrier defensively in battle, you can do short warps in the battlefield, you can parry attacks.
- There will be lots of tactical aspects in battle for core games, like elemental weaknesses and so on.
- Noctis is the only playable character, but his unique combat style and how the party interacts with him in battles is what drives the entire battle system.
Final Fantasy Union: "This is a question that has been asked by Western gamers for quite a few years now, but we still sit no closer to having an answer than we did when Final Fantasy Agito XIII was first announced during E3 2006. Yes, you heard me, it has been that long since the fated announcement of the Fabula Nova Crystallis franchise.
A lot has happened since then. We have, of course, now seen the release of Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII (under the guise of Final Fantasy Type-0). We have also seen the release of Final Fantasy XIII sequels, in the form of Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, as well as the recent release of Final Fantasy Agito as it was originally intended."
In recent years, the Final Fantasy series on PlayStation systems has been somewhat quiet in terms of new releases, but 2013 changes all that by bringing us the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. - PSLS
I loved FF8 the most as well. Had to play through the game about 5 times to understand how the combat system works.
1st playthrough, I didn't understand the draw system so just used GF and boost through the whole game.
Probably my 10th(or maybe 20th) playthrough I understood the whole card system. Basically complete the game without leveling a single character.
My last playthrough I did was to only level up seifer and Edea, which made leveling through card obsolete.
My characters were way OP and could easily beat any lvl 100 characters on the island closest to heaven and hell.
Anyway, loved the variety of different play styles you could do to finish game.
I also loved FFXII because of the combat system, and also learnt the glitches to trick system to getting 100% chance to getting item from treasure chests. Must have spent 200+ hours on 1 single playthrough and still have yet to complete the game.
FF6
FF7
FF9
FF10 (first one i played)
All those are the 4 best, FF8- I didnt like the battle system
FFIX would jump straight to the top of the list for me. Not only did it show what the PS1 was capable of nearing the end of the generation, but it also brought with it two of the greatest FF characters- Vivi and Steiner. STEINER WAS A BEAST. Plus, equipment-based character class growth instead of that crappy DRAW command in VIII.
So, what are some of anyone's favorite FF CHARACTERS of all time? Here are my top 3:
3. Adelbert Steiner
2. Seifer Almasy
1. Auron
6
1 (remake)
9
7
10
I like these all pretty equally, even with 1's lack of story....it's just great, and kinda made better by 9, and 9 is made better by 1. It's an interesting circle those two games create.
What is Your Favorite Final Fantasy Game of all Time?"
I believe Final Fantasy XIII was the best FF ever. It had the best story, the best characters and boss battle used every member in your party just to kill it.
FF7 only gets a lot of props because it was the first FF to go 3D. If they made other FF's in 3D they would kill FF7.
Final Fantasy 6 which was FF3 on the SNES. Followed by FF9 and FF4 on SNES.
these 3 games are my favorite FF games of all time.
i have replayed these games more than any other FF games in the series.
You're an educated gamer. I hate hearing opinions on this question from gamers who haven't even played the entire series. I COMPLETELY agree; 6, 9, 4 are my top three also. You can't have a proper opinion if you haven't played the entire series.
@crazy
yea these 3 games in this franchise just has a special place in my heart. for me they have heart and soul.
i think those that disagree with us probably started playing the franchise with FF7.
@ Crazy you don't like hearing opinions from gamers on a game commenting website. Fair enough.
I have not played the entire serious but I did enjoy FF4, X, 6,7
Never been a fan of the series but I do wonder how the sales figures went throughout the series.
They actually use to do very well. The oldd ff games blow the new ones out of the water quality wise & sales wise.
FF 7= 9.8 million. FF 8= 8.15 million (somehow I didn't really like this one that much) FF 9= 5.3 million. FF 10= 6.32 million. FF 10-2= 4 million
They actually sold well despite being on one console at the time & those sales numbers were from 2010 so they could have sold more.
Actually FFXIII was like the fastest selling FF ever released!
OnT:
My fav is III and VI.
If you don't like 8 much, look up a site called "squall's dead" or something like that. It's like this crazy conspiracy theory about the game, that I actually think is right. And while it didn't make me "LIKE" the game any more than I did, it kinda gives you (me) a whole new appreciation for 8 and makes you look at it a different way.
It's a very interesting and fairly quick read and I suggest checking it out to any FF fan that may have been on the fance about what they think about 8. And it may even be a more interesting read for fans who loved 8.
"Squall's Dead" Google it
http://vgsales.wikia.com/wi...
FFX is listed in some websites to have sold 8.05 million copies, while others state that it sold around 6.5 million copies.
FFIX is one of the fondest memories of my teenage years. It marked me for life.
Sometimes I tell myself even when I'll be 80 years old sitting on the front porch of my house, I'll still think about the incredible adventure I lived with Vivi, Zidane, Garnet and the whole crew.
Truly magical moments.

Is a story about Final Fantasy XIII's release being "way, way off," regardless of platform, still considered news?
That's like printing a story that proclaims "The sun rises."
This article is more of an update for those who are interested in the game and are awaiting it's release!
And the wait begins
