Square Enix Party 'Wall of Wishes' mirrors our own
As well as being at a Square Enix press conference last week, everyone's favourite Japanese game blog (alright, maybe just my favourite), Gemaga, were at the Square Enix Party last weekend. Whilst there they took some photos of something we've dubbed the 'Wall of Wishes', where attendees to the party were asked to write down suggestions for the company on post-its. The pictures are quite fun to look at. Especially if you can read Japanese. Personally I've got a decent grip of hiragana and katakana and can spot a few saying 'Final Fantasy 7 remake!'. Though I have to say, for a nation renowned for its calligraphy, maybe some of the people who wrote these notes should take some handwriting lessons.Other notes include requests for Final Fantasy XII-2, a Xenogears remake and Final Fantasy XI expansions. We at PS3 Fanboy are curious to see what comes of this. Will Square Enix listen to what fans have been requesting for the past several years and finally remake Final Fantasy VII, as some sites have intimated? We hope so. That tech demo did look wonderful, after all ...
Square Enix press conference: Last Remnant screens + Star Ocean 4
Square Enix have confirmed that The Last Remnant will be released for both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 at a press conference in Japan yesterday. It will be the first Square Enix game to be released in America and Japan simultaneously. While we already expected this, it's always nice to hear it from the horse's mouth. On top of this confirmation Square Enix released some screen shots and art from the game. They look gorgeous, of course. The battle scene showing the Japanese character, Rush, fighting on a battlefield is perhaps the most interesting as it gives various hints towards the potential gameplay mechanics involved. Gemaga took photos of all the slides during the press conference. One that really caught our eye was the third one down in this post. It simply says 'Star Ocean 4 (tentative title) under development' with the Square Enix and tri-Ace logos at the bottom. It seems the console the game will eventually arrive on has yet to be determined. Hopefully we will find more out at the Square Enix party. If not, then there's this ominous 'May 30th' date which is mentioned in all of Gemaga's posts.As a final treat, one slide shows some information on Final Fantasy XII: International, which will be released on the 9th of August in Japan and will feature something known as the 'Zodiac Job System'. Sounds intriguing. What is it? We'll let you know when we find out.PSP owners, make sure you check out this post on PSP Fanboy for some more Star Ocean news.
