There are some minor updates around the site.  Check out our new editorial on FF music and J-pop artists: We've all heard of Nobuo Uematsu and the likes, but what about other popular artists who have done FF theme songs?

There is major construction on the site now for the new FF VII: Advent Children section coming in a few months.  In the meantime, enjoy new FF movies from the following sections: FF IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, and Tactics.
 

We are pleased to announce our contest winner, Margaret Cann from Ontario, Canada, who was selected out of approximately 60 valid entries and has therefore won an FF VIII original soundtrack from Japan!  Congratulations!  We thank all individuals who have entered in this contest.  Hopefully, we can be able to hold more contests in the future!
 

In yet another high-profile resignation, Nobuo Uematsu will begin a career as a freelance composer, leaving Square-Enix after many years working on music for the Final Fantasy series. There is still a possibility that he will work with Square-Enix in the future, though it is largely unknown. After many years on the FF series, Uematsu will be missed in the RPG world as a wonderful composer. But who knows? Maybe he will continue to do odd projects for various RPGs in the future.
 

Recently, Square-Enix has announced new details regarding Final Fantasy III on the Nintendo DS system. The maps will be displayed on the lower screen and action on the top as it utilizes the split screen system. The graphics will be about the same as FFI and II on the Game Boy Advance. However, there currently is no set release date in Japan and whenever the game is released in North America, it will mark the first time that Final Fantasy III has made it overseas. The original game was released on the Famicom in Japan in 1990 and never made it to North America.
 

As you may already know, Square-Enix confirms that FFVII: Dirge of Cerberus for the PS2 will be an action-adventure game. The title features Vincent Valentine as the main character and it is a spinoff of the very popular PSX game, FFVII. It is slated that other FFVII and FFIX characters will appear in this game.
 

It appears that FFVII mania has engulfed the people of Square-Enix. The company has recently announced that it will release a FFVII spinoff title which stars Vincent and takes place one year after the end of Advent Children. The title will be called “Dirge of Cerberus” and will revolved around Vincent fighting a group of enemies known as DC as of now. The game is going to be released in DVD format and will see release on both the PS2 and PSP consoles. The game is scheduled for a 2005 release as of now. However, it is unknown as to what genre the game will be.
 

Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis has become the most successful and popular cellphone game in Japan to date. It is available from the NTT DoCoMo FOMA network and the service already has 200,000 registered users on the first day of release. The game puts gamers in control of a male or female recruit of Shinra’s elite special-forces squad, the Turks. The cellphone game is only available in Japan.
