A few of our pages have gone under intense modification and several others have received small patch ups. Most important on the list of updates is the new descriptions for the three Fabula Nova Crystallis titles, written up by the irreplaceable Shannon, aka Medomai. She’s only just joined the staff and already helping the site in more ways then imaginable.
Second up, the previous scan pages have been completely wiped and combined into one convenient scan page. There’s some scans missing, but most that were taken out were far outdated. Feel free to use the scans for whatever you desire, but please ask permission first via email or comment.
Apart from those two major updates, several other pages, including our Staff page, have been given subtle make-overs. Nothing too special, but it’s all pushing towards our getting back up and smooth again.
As well as in-game art spectacles, Square Enix has always been known for its amazing concept art. Of course, the art for Final Fantasy XIV is no exception. The first piece of concept art, released on the official site, shows off the obvious community factor of Final Fantasy XIV. The art style for the game is shaping up to be something phenomenal, expect to get a look at even more of it in the coming months.
You can view the full piece at the Final Fantasy XIV image page, here.
Screens from the recently released Final Fantasy XIV trailer have been revealed. The pre-rendered graphics are top-notch, as to be expected from Square Enix. Unfortunately, no gameplay shots were released, but the gameplay is said to be similar to Final Fantasy’s previous MMORPG, Final Fantasy XI.
Just a general warning, really. I’m in the process of merging all the scan pages into one covient page, saving loads of space and making for an overall cleaner looking website. However, in the process of merging, I will have to delete the current pages holding the scans for a day or so. Nothing big; they’ll be back up before you know it.
In other news, the new staffers, Shannon and Dyln, are hard at work updating the content pages and compiling new scans from the past two years. Once the renovation is complete, the site will be back up and running at full status. I look forward to it, and I hope you do as well.
Well, we’re just full of updates today, as we should be. FFXIIIUS has been dormant for a bit, but now that summer’s officially hit (for me, anyways), the updates will be flowing in non-stop. First on our massive plate of Final Fantasy, the announcement of Final Fantasy XIV! Sure, it’s not Final Fantasy XIII, but as of right now we will be covering FFXIV as well as FFXIII, FFVersus, and FFAgito. To get you up to speed on FFXIV, one of our newest staff members, Shannon, has written a short description:
Announced June 2nd, Square-Enix revealed the next in their flagship series, Final Fantasy XIV. Unlike most of the series, however, Final Fantasy XIV takes after Fantasy Fantasy XI in being an MMO RPG, playable only online. According to the trailer released in SE’s press conference, as well as a short press announcement afterwards, it seems Final Fantasy XIV will be available only for Playstation 3 and PC. SE announced their plan was to release XIV in a worldwide simultaneous release sometime in 2010, which would be an improvement from XI, where the game became available in JP, NA, and EU with months in between the release in each region. This is the first time that two chornological Final Fantasy games are planned to be released in the same year.
Sounds great, no? You’ll be seeing alot from Shannon, as well as our other new staffers, in the coming months.
Next up, a new trailer for Final Fantasy XIII straight from E3 2009. And it’s in English! Thanks to GameTrailers for the awesome video.
There was also a short glimpse at Final Fantasy XIV at the conference, provided again by GameTrailers.
For right now, that’s all. Be sure to look out for these videos up on our video page, as well as updates to almost all of our content. Continue the Fantasy!
