Final Fantasy Haeresis XIII, perhaps the most intruiging game in the Fabula Nova Crystallis series. In 2006 Square Enix trademarked FF Haeresis resulting in a seemingly endless discussion about what this title really was and if it was real.
Today the US Patent & Trademark Office updated this trademark with the Notice of Abandonment.
Speaking of patents, the European patent for Final Fantasy Type-0 got approved last week, it was submitted back in December 2010. Square Enix also patented “SE masterpieces” last week. The patent is still under examination and while nothing is known about it, it fairly sounds like this could be a HD versions of Kingdom Hearts I/II & Final Fantasy X/XII for PS2.
Square Enix announced its financial results and the continued strategy for the Medium-Term Business Plan that will span two more years.
Square Enix talks about developing Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for Nintendo Switch 2 in a behind-the-scenes interview.
Why do we think this is coming out on Switch 2 before Xbox? Any thoughts? The S2 is not more powerful than the Series S so it’s not a ‘lack of power’ issue. Perhaps the sales forecast is higher on S2 than Xbox so that’s maybe where their priority lies?
It’s definitely a sales issue. If Xbox didn’t have players used to GamePass I bet it would be there already.
The fact people will buy it. Xbox gamers generally have minimal interest in this series. Portable Final Fantasy will go down a storm in Japan where the switch sells huge numbers
The Switch 2 version is really beautiful. It looked as good as the PS5 version.
Members of Square Enix recently made a remarkable discovery upon opening an old storage container at work that had been shut for close to 20 years: a cache of pristine, retro games that includes titles released for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Atari ST, DOS computers, N-Gage, Nintendo Wii, and Amstrad CPC, among other platforms.
I kind of wish Square Enix would return to their roots… well, more so the PS1 era.
They were absolutely cooking during the PS1 era, now I can't get excited for the majority of SE's newest games. I would actually love it if AAA developed forgot about making the best graphics ever and focused moreso on other aspects of games. Limitations really did breed innovation back then.
The PS1 was cutting edge at the time, it removed limitations.
The innovation came from a huge wave of game creators using the PS1 as the main development platform.
So are we just ignoring Octopath Traveler 1&2, Live Alive, Bravely Default 2 and Triangle Strategy then yeah?
I guess I worded it wrong, I wish Square would return to MORE of their original IPs from the PS1 era, more specifically things like Parasite Eve, FF Tactics, Xenogears, Brave Fencer Musashi, Einhander, and Vagrant Story. Better?
They found retro games and some are as old as 30 years ? So most of it wouldn't even be retro I imagine.
Weird thing is amstrad commodore and spectrum games are much older than 30 years mostly so how are the oldest ones 30 years ?
retro
adjective
Involving, relating to, or reminiscent of an earlier time.
yeah, they qualify as retro
Thought this was FFXIV(renamed)....guess not
That's fine. Never knew anything about it.
Nothing gained. Nothing lost.
Tbh they should just focus on getting out those games that they have already told us about, I think one of them is almost 7 YEARS in development and still isn't anywhere in sight?
HINT HINT SQUEENIX
I take it that picture is unofficial? I'd never seen a logo for this game with an illustration.
Sort of disappointed, although I shouldn't be because this was never anything more than a cool name.
