Squenix Can’t Remake FFVII Now Because They’re Lazy
| Christian Martin |
Square Enix recently denied that they are working on a PS3 remake of the fan favorite Final Fantasy VII (alliteration FTW!) but didn’t say it would never happen. Now Motomu Toriyama and Yoshinori Kitase, the director and the producer of Final Fantasy XIII, try to explain one reason why it would be so hard to remake the original Playstation game. Cue the violins.

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers is hitting a Wii near you pretty soon. (Hopefully a Wii that someone is still playing.) And they got a sweet contest for you fans out there!
[Rant] Where Are the Droid RPGs?
| Adam Bruno |
So, I got a Verizon Droid today. And let me tell you, I am frustrated as hell with this thing. It’s like thinking you’re going to be going on a date with the girl of your dreams, only to find that you’ll be spending the night cuddled up with her horny, unhygienic uncle.
Okay, maybe it’s not that bad. At least my ass isn’t sore from this one. I mean, Verizon is the top-performing carrier in the USA, and the Droid is still pretty new. So, I figured I’d give it a little bit of time and peruse the apps to see if I could download some time-killing RPG. And that’s when it happened.
[Interview] VO Actress/Anime Producer Stephanie Sheh
| Adam Bruno |
Yesterday, I was lucky enough to interview Stephanie Sheh, a talented actress and producer in anime and video games. Her resume is extensive, and her video game credits include Odin Sphere, Tales of the Abyss, Suikoden V, and Resident Evil (she’s the current voice of Rebecca Chambers).
She’s also both produced and lent her voice to the popular anime series FLCL (Fooly Cooly), and her anime credits include Naruto, Bleach, Lucky Star, and Blood+. I also got to meet her friend Kei “K.” Yukon, who was nice enough to give her own input on some questions as well. They both even had some advice for those of us interested in voice-acting.
Square Enix Issues Scam Alert

Apparently, Square Enix isn’t associated with the lottery. Who knew? No, but seriously, this is a big problem and not just for Squenix.

Final Fantasy Drives Japanese PS3 Sales
| Chris Burke |
PS3 console sales in Japan jumped by 45,826 units last week. Just goes to show that Square Enix’s not-so-final franchise still has a lot of vitality, especially on its home turf. The full hardware-sales ranking after the jump.
Square-Enix’s WiiWare Just Gave Me a Gamergasm
| Adam Bruno |
You’ll notice that this post is a mere two days after my last one, which is probably some kind of record for me. Rest assured that this is due to my dedication as a gaming journalist, and not at all because Chris and Joanna have kidnapped my family due to my last post (I love you, Mom!). Because they didn’t. Honest. Anyway, Squenix proved once again that I am a dirty, dirty Final Fantasy whore.
