Can’t get enough of Final Fantasy Tactics? Ah. Wait a minute. This is some sort of trick! This isn’t a Final Fantasy Tactics picture at all. Hello and welcome to Final Fantasy TicTacs! Perhaps if I take enough they’ll wash the frustrating taste of CP farming in Final Fantasy XII from my mouth?
Chocobos escape Horsebird fate as Final Fantasy XIV begins to smell Chinese
Square Enix have a bit of a PR issue on their hands with Final Fantasy XIV. Suspicions that the game was written for the Chinese market came to the fore with Chocobos being re-named “Horsebirds”. Chinese characters had been popping up in the Japanese version of Final Fantasy XIV. Typically, Square would be mixing English […]
Classy! Grow your boobs with Final Fantasy XIV
What would you list has a “must have” character personalisation option on a CRPG? Gender? Clothes? Hair style? Colour? Should that really matter? Here’s one – how important is boob size selection to you? If it’s important then you’ll have to sign up for a pre-order of Final Fantasy 14. As this Livedoor blog points […]
Final Fantasy XIV teaser
Square have published a short (around three minutes) video of Final Fantasy XIV. It looks good. It looks more Final Fantasy than Final Fantasy XIII feels (so far; not finished it). In fact; we know that Square want to bring back some the clans from FFXI for FFXIV so that shouldn’t surprise us. It’ll be […]
Not happy with how Final Fantasy XIII is being advertised in the UK? Blame OMD

The surprise console news around Final Fantasy XIII was that it would be available on the Xbox 360. This isn’t the case in Japan, where it remains a PS3 exclusive but if you read some Japanese blogs shops can’t even give away the Xbox 360 any more. There are reports that the PS3 is a […]
Final Fantasy: Fortress – the game that didn’t make it
Previously on Geek Native I’ve covered the speculation that Square Enix would consider letting a Western development house have a crack at Final Fantasy. Now; according to info a blog at Livedoor has turned up that’s already been and gone. Although there’s nothing stopping Square Enix from trying again, indeed, they seem keen. From what […]
English language trailer for Final Fantasy XIII
There are a number of good things about this trailer; the Leona Lewis song isn’t one of them though. I’m more interested in the character dialog than a reality TV show star’s mantra in the background. They need to turn it down. It’s also worth noting that, shockingly, Final Fantasy XIII won’t be exclusive on […]
No more Final Fantasy?
There may be no more Final Fantasy, not as we know the series, after Final Fantasy XII. After having already publicly discussed taking development of the next Final Fantasy away from Japan and giving it to Western developers Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada says the whole series needs something new. Once again we can turn […]
Square Enix to offshore Final Fantasy XIV to Western developers?
As the West prepares for Final Fantasy XIII there are some early hints that any sequel to the game might not come from Square Enix’s Japanese developers. The Final Fantasy series is seen as the archetypal JRPG so this will come as a shock to many. Square Enix’s President, Yoichi Wade, suggested to Edge magazine […]
