FF VII-2 Announced
September 27, 2003

Before you get your hopes up, this is not a game. Thank god it's not a game, I would hate to see a sequel to a classic. It's called Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and it's a DVD movie. Square's second movie, and it was featured in famitsu Japanese gaming magazine. A couple small screenshots were shown, and they look pretty kick ass. The story takes place 2 years after Final Fantasy VII. Now doesn't that sound familiar? Oh yes, FFX-2 which also took place 2 years after FFX. Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is facing a 2004 release.

On a side note, Kingdom Hearts 2 is also being made, but that's kind of obvious since Kingdom Hearts was such a big hit anyways.

Final Fantasy XII Information
September 27, 2003

The first look at our beloved Final Fantasy XII is going to be on November 19 at TGS (Tokyo Game Show for those who do not know.) The official website http://www.ff12.com which has nothing except info on their conference on November. Personally, I'm way too excited about this, since I haven't gotten my hands on a good single player final fantasy for quite a while and I'm looking forward to this one. Be sure to check back on November 19th there will be shots of FFXII up on ffodyssey and possibly movies of the game show!

Minor Updates
August 6, 2003

Since there isn't much going on in terms of FF, minor fixes have been made, most noticeably that 3 sections were cut off.  The mailing list, mailbag and chat sections will not work anymore.  I'll try getting topsites installed ASAP too.

New sections have been added for expansion along with a simple Flash top navigation.  These include the FF 1/2 remakes (FF Origins), FF X-2, FF Tactics Advance and FF Crystal Chronicles.

The email links should work, please submit all your fan art, fiction, and wallpapers (questions too) if u never got a response.

PS3 Info...
July 17, 2003

Elpida, the only confirmed source of ps3 memory supplier has had some info leaked out recently. Sony had ordered production of XDR-DRAM chips which could give the ps3 a total of 256mb of ram. The ps2 only has 32mb of ram.

"There are currently three memory suppliers working on XDR-DRAM chips, Elpida, Toshiba and Samsung. Although only Elpida have been confirmed as suppliers, all three are expected to supply chips for the PS3.

The companies will begin bulk production of the RAM in early 2005, and should be able to come up with a total of 20 million XDR-DRAM chips within that year. According to the size of the PS3 memory announced, Sony could build as many as five million units of the PS3 by the end of 2005. A number of units which would guarantee a decent sized world-wide launch.

According to current production capabilities, the 2006 yield of chips would be, approximately, 30 million, enough to build 7.5 million consoles. This figure is definitely not one which would please Sony. Considering a 2005 PS3 launch they would surely plan to sell over 10 million units during 2006. "


For the uber noobers that don't understand why a ps2 has 3mb of ram, but their computer has 512mb and still lags, here is the reason. When the production of a console starts, they aim for a target. This when this target is acquired, it doesn't need to be exceeded. 32mb of ram is ALL it needs. Anymore and it would only effect performance a little and cost a lot more. Consoles usually try to aim for prices lower than a pc so they cut down on whatever they don't need such as processing power and ram. Since consoles don't have an operating system, and lack the flexibility of a pc, they don't need the computing power of your conventional pc. What this translate to is that 256mb of ram is a feces load of ram. I can't imagine how the games would look like.
