FFXIII: Male Character named Snow Villiers
Posted on October 30, 2008, 5:35 pm by Koby with 0 Comments.

Square Enix offered some new tidbits about Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII in this week's issue of Weekly Famitsuu. The male character seen in the various trailers of Final Fantasy XIII is called Snow Villiers. Character designer Tetsuya Nomura commented that the development is going to improve the visual quality of the game even further.

Final Fantasy XIII will be available on PlayStation 3 in Japan sometime next year. A multiplatform release will follow in the US and Europe thereafter.

As reported two months ago, Final Fantasy Agito XIII will feature directly controllable summons. When they are called upon, Ifrit and Co. will replace the character who has summoned them as a party member. Speaking of parties, Agito XIII will support up to three active members. While Square Enix wasn't sure whether the planned infrastructure mode would make it into the final product in August, this week's update suggests that this will indeed be the case.

Final Fantasy Agito XIII for PlayStation Portable will be available in Japan sometime next year.

Welcome to Version 8: "Return of Cecil"
Posted on October 28, 2008, 11:32 am by Koby with 0 Comments.
I'm in the process of uploading the new layout which will become Version 8 of Forgotten Memories, entitled "Return of Cecil" as it features Final Fantasy IV with the new artwork that was made because of the new Nintendo DS release of the game. Final Fantasy IV has long been my favorite of the series and I intend to add coverage of the game soon.

I finally finished doing the coding adjustments of the pages so the new layout will work, but since it took so long to do it, I decided to go ahead and put it up on the site instead of waiting to revamp all the content pages coding and writing. For the most part though most pages have been completely updated, however there still needs some tweaks on a lot of them as most of the pages were written back in 2004-2005 (some even before we had a site, lol). The image gallery will be here a little later then expected, my upload speed is very slow at the moment and will take some time to finish it up, so the image gallery may be up by Thanksgiving hopefully with tons and tons of artwork and game logos, etc.

There is, as you might have noticed, several new pages added to the site, such as the Character Battles (which happens to be a little messy, lol), and the arrival of the Omake (which I had been wanting to do for ages). The Legend of Dragoon page has gotten a huge over-haul. I had originally intended to open a site solely for the game, but decided best to just add the content to Forgotten Memories so there it is.. I'm still working on more pages for the series too, and intend to upload the "If you Still Believe" MP3 version of the song.

Roms and Emulators will come later if you noticed the button at the top of the layout. As for Final Fantasy 1-6, I've decided they are older games, and we need to concentrate on newer games, so instead of doing huge content pages for them, I will dedicate one page to each game with character bios, storyline, review, etc.. Well I guess that is pretty much it for now, so expect some clean up, etc.. to be going on and all pages to be updated soon.

New Details on Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Posted on October 10, 2008, 8:01 pm by Koby with 0 Comments.
The hero is named Edge Maverick, and the heroine is Reimi Saionji. Two other party members have been named Faize Sheifa Beleth and Lymle Remli Phi. The one named Faize wields a rapier while Lymle appears to be a child sorceress.

The battle system will be similar to Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, with both short and long range attacks that can be linked together. Each character has a unique set of attacks that can be used in combos with regular hits and they gain them through experience. A new "side stepping and Jump system", where the effect of jumping will vary by character, with some able to use repeated jump attacks or jump higher than others.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope had a playable demo at this years Tokyo Game Show, and the game will be released in the Spring of 2009 for the XBox 360. The exact dates are as follows: Japan on February 19, 2009, and North America on March 3, 2009.

For a review of the game hands on, check out RPGfan. They managed to play the demo during the Tokyo Game Show and have their review on it.

New Demon's Souls Details Surface
Posted on October 10, 2008, 7:52 pm by Koby with 0 Comments.
Sony Computer Entertainment Japan has opened the official website of Demon's Souls. As previously announced, the PlayStation 3-based action RPG is developed externally by From Software.The game's background story begins with a king discovering a shrine located in a remote mountain range. Inside the ancient structure he obtains a new source of power known as "soul." The prosperity brought upon the country by this new power did not last long, though. Seeking even greater power, the king returned to the shrine. There he woke up an ancient beast which unleashed a colorless fog and demons. The fog, which had quickly covered the entire land, cut off the country's connections to the outside world. Meanwhile, the demons began to rob the people of their souls and eat them. Two decades later, the people are clinging to one last hope. Demon's Souls will be available in Japan sometime next year.

Sony and From Software team up for PS3 RPG
Posted on October 6, 2008, 1:00 pm by Koby with 0 Comments.
Sony Computer Entertainment Japan today announced Demon's Souls. The PlayStation 3-based action RPG is developed by From Software, makers of Enchanted Arms and Armored Core. The game is set to be playable at next week's Tokyo Game Show.

Described as a dark fantasy title, Demon's Souls won't be about Final Fantasy-style FMV sequences, but rather about gameplay emphasizing a feeling of satisfaction and exploration, in other words "back to the roots". At the game's beginning, the player is asked to create a character by specifying name, sex, face type, hair style, etc. Slightly similar to Lionhead's Fable, the player is free in making his or her own decisions. Even if he or she is asked to save the world, this request can be ignored. The game will continue nonetheless.

System-wise, players have to study an enemy's attack pattern and while defending, exploit their foe's weak spot. Weapons will come with certain limitations. For instance, it might be impossible to swing a weapon with great range in a narrow location. Furthermore, actions in battle will change, depending on whether a weapon is wielded in one hand or both hands.

Demon's Souls will be available in Japan sometime next year.
