Final Fantasy IV to be ported to Japanese mobile phones
September 22 by 92.10.215.8 Edited by Drake Clawfang
Square-Enix is set to release Final Fantasy IV on mobile phones for October 5th in Japan. Judging from the game's website screenshots, the port will use a similar engine as The After Years, as it has similar larger sprites outside of battle. The port will include bonus features such as an extra dungeon, though it's difficult to say if it's the same bonus dungeon as the Advance release, or a new dungeon.
Fans may remember that Final Fantasy IV's sequel, The After Years, was released on mobile in Japan before coming to WiiWare in North America. It's currently unknown if this latest port of the Super NES classic will follow the same pattern.

Now the remaining part of the world can get their hands on Dissidia as the game reaches the PAL region. Gameplay wise, it plays exactly the same as the NTSC-A version.

August 2009

Lord of Vermilion II

Edited by BlueHighwind ツ
Lord of Vermilion, a Japan-only strategic card game made by Square Enix that including plenty of references to our Final Fantasy series, gains a sequel. Following a week long countdown that began with a cryptic mention of "VII Days" (the use of the roman numeral "VII" seemingly enough for some other news outlets to instantly assume another Final Fantasy VII title) those roman numerals began to countdown slowly down to VI, then V, then IV, until finally the truth was revealed. The website mentions that it will feature characters from other Square Enix titles like Final Fantasy IV, Romancing SaGa II, and in a surprise move, monsters from the popular trading card game, Magic the Gathering. Final Fantasy IV characters that are known to be featured so far are Rydia, Kain Highwind, Edge, and finally Golbez. English text states that it will be released at Japan in Autumn of 2009, though you can probably forget about a larger international release. Website here
