FMv8.1 - XMAS Edition

Posted on December 6, 2008, 12:17 am by Koby with 0 Comments.

Okay, so I know I promised fixes to the layout.. but it's getting close to Christmas so instead we put up the X-MAS edition. I know it isn't really really good or anything but I hope you don't mind and enjoy it for the holidays. Expect the normal layout to be put back up sometime shortly after Christmas or New Years.

-Enjoy, and Happy Holidays!

Upcoming Layout Remodeling...

Posted on December 1, 2008, 12:50 pm by Koby with 0 Comments.

After the poll of what people think of the Version 8 layout, and hearing feedback from our viewers and from some of my friends; I have compiled a list of things that I feel I should change. So when I get home I will begin work on the changes and will get them up in about 2 to 4 weeks hopefully. So expect that soon, and I'll probably make a news announcement with a poll asking if you prefer the update over the current version.

Some changes to expect for Version 8.1:

Some font alterations on the images
Change of Background Image
Fixing up/Alteration of Right Navigation Bar
Changing of the Content Tables
Cleaning the Network Bar
Altering the News Layout
Fixing the Poll's Design

I feel currently there is too much lines everywhere (the background, the navigation, breadcrumbs bar, and content tables).. which really takes away from the layout so with most of those changes you can expect to see less of the diagonal lines and perhaps only for the links in the left navigation.

So stay tuned for the update.

Blood of Bahamut Announced for DS

Posted on November 28, 2008, 2:01 pm by Koby with 0 Comments.

With the countdown on the mysterious teaser site prominently featuring Bahamut reaching zero today, Square Enix revealed Blood of Bahamut. The DS-based title is a multiplayer RPG that allows up to four users to play together via the DS' wireless connection. The player's aim is to take on giants so large that people used to live on them. In addition to story-related missions, it will also be possible to play so-called free missions. Both can be enjoyed in either single or multi-player mode.

Blood of Bahamut takes place in a world created by Bahamut's blood. Unfortunately, it lost its surface a long time ago, forcing people to build their towns on the backs of sleeping giants. Men worshipped these creatures as gods. However, one day the towering creatures woke up from their seemingly endless slumber and all hell broke loose. Knowing there is no safe haven anymore, people leave their villages looking to find exactly such a place. At this time of despair, seven heroes stand up to fight what looks like an invincible opposition.

So far the following two playable characters have been revealed. Wielding a giant sword, Ibuki is a young summoner in whose body rests the spirit of the dragon. The young man has a strong sense of justice. He saw it as his responsibility to stand up and fight the giants. After having lost her family when she was but a child, the female lead Yui is dreaming of one day founding her own family. After having lost her family, she has been living and studying together with Ibuki. A capable magic user, she has decided to join Ibuki in his struggle against the giant beasts.

Blood of Bahamut has yet to receive an official release date in Japan.

New Dragon Quest IX Details Announced

Posted on November 28, 2008, 1:58 pm by Koby with 0 Comments.

Square Enix released some new information about the highly anticipated newest main series installment in its Dragon Quest series on the pages of Shounen JUMP magazine. The DS-based Dragon Quest IX will allow the player to create his or her own character by customizing face, hairstyle and figure, etc. This character creation is not limited to the protagonist, though. The developers at Level 5 will also allow the player to create customized party members. Those lacking the creativity, time or interest to create their own characters, do not need to worry though. Existing characters can be hired at Ruida's bar. Two such characters, Roxanne and Rikka, were mentioned in today's article. Last but not least, the following job classes have been confirmed to appear in the game: mage, warrior, thief, monk and martial arts expert.

Dragon Quest IX will hit Japanese retail store shelves next March.

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.
