FF Crystal Chronicles details for the GameCube…….
September 7, 2002
     Square has announced that a probable release date for FF Crystal Chronicles would be in Spring 2003 in Japan.

Final Fantasy I and II confirmed for PlayStation remakes……
September 7, 2002
     Following up a series of remakes in the past year, Square has decided to port Final Fantasy I and II on the PlayStation. While FF I was first released on the NES in North America, FF II was only released on the Famicom in Japan only. As for the remakes themselves, they will feature updated graphics and some cool new FMV sequences. Also, Square plans to add improved sound quality and quick saving options to both games as well. Right now, the remakes are set for a Japan release but Square has not confirmed or commented on a possible North American release yet. The remakes are scheduled for an October 31st release in Japan.

Latest Squaresoft news since our time off....
June 29, 2002
     Squaresoft recently announced that two side stories based off from Final Fantasy X are now in development. The side stories are supposedly planned to take place after the events of the ending of FF X and the titles are unofficially named “Rikku” and “Yuna”. It still remains to be seen about whether or not these two characters play the central role in the games or just merely gain new abilities and other features. Right now, there is no solid release date for these side stories in Japan, nor any word of a North American port but more likely, the games will release in Japan at the end of this year. Not all seems to be going well at Squaresoft, even with the release of FF XI in Japan. After the dismal failure of the FF Movie as well as a disappointing anime in Japan, Squaresoft is now involved in a launch-day fiasco with FF XI. Buggy and glitchy servers along with a host of other problems are now mounting in Japan and many of the FFXI servers crash frequently. Also, Square has been working hard to fix the huge amount of problems with the game but honestly, FF XI hasn’t been as near as successful in Japan as Square would’ve hoped for. Let’s hope this could all be fixed for the North American release of FF XI. On the PC front, Square has recently started to accept applications for their Beta testing program of FF XI for the PC through PlayOnline. It’s going to be a Windows-based version and available only in Japan for testing thus far. However, no word on a North American or European versions of the PC Beta testing of FF XI though……..

Version III is here!
June 29, 2002
     The wait is finally over!  Version III is now up and running.  This will be the last layout change for quite a long time, and also the last of the plain HTML versions (the next version might be in other languages such as PHP); the only exception may be the top/left navigation Flash movies, which may be further enhanced once I learn some more advanced Flash.  Here are the main changes:

     -Brand new layout featuring more graphics and organization
     -A Flash navigational left and top menus
     -Some small sections were added
     -A vast majority of the scripts run off cgi (such as the hit counter, guestbook,
      and the poll
     -Some new images and a new logo

     Hope you enjoy this layout change, and remember, if you have a comment or suggestion, go to the forums, or contact us, but please leave messages till we come back; replies will take a long time!
