BOOM.
Did anyone else hear that? It’s the sound of a million Nintendo fans blowing up in unison from the overload of awesome DS news that’s been hitting the gaming world almost every single day since about a week ago. First, we heard news aboutFinal Fantasy XII Revenant Wings, then aboutFinal Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates. Then came news of how the nextDragon Questwould be exclusive to the DS. What?!Dragon Questexclusive to DS? Didn’t Square love Sony any more?
Thankfully, amidst all this DS madness, Square Enix managed to slip us some nice PSP news, too.Final Fantasy Tacticsre-made for the PSP? Maybe Square hadn’t forgotten about the company that picked them up on the rebound and cared for them after their heart-wrenching breakup with Nintendo, after all.
I don’t know how many of you would have heard of this. There’s this proverb that goes, “First love is only dangerous when it is also the last.”
Agree? Square sure as hell doesn’t. Maybe they did get picked up on the rebound by a rival company, but now that time has helped ease the pain, and scars remain as a reminder of past mistakes not to be repeated, Square and the big N seem to be trying to give their lost love one more chance. And in a big way.
Final Fantasy Tacticsmight be getting a make-over on the PSP, but what about the sequel toTactics Advance? Square’s been getting into the whole sequel/spinoff deal lately, and whilesomepeople are unhappy about it, most would kill for the chance to enter their favoriteFinal Fantasyworld again. So, what’s the deal with the nextFF Tactics? You guessed it. According to Jeux France, it’sprobablygoing to be on the DS. Nick already updated hisPSPTacticspost with this info, but I feel aTacticssequel deserves a separate post for itself.
