8:31 PM FF Origins Amazon's DotD
Amazon.com's video game Deal of the Day today is Final Fantasy Origins for PS1 at $11.99. Too bad I wasn't home to post about it earlier in the day.

3:27 PM Captain N
I'm a little late in mentioning this, but Captain N and the New Super Mario World is now out on DVD. In addition to the whole SMW series, this set contains the 3rd season of Captain N, which has the Final Fantasy episode, The Fractured Fantasy of Captain N. I took the opportunity to get some new, higher quality screens for the Captain N page.

1:12 AM FF2 Amazon Deal of the Day
I'm pretty late in mentioning this here, but I suppose somebody could notice in the next two hours. Final Fantasy II (PSP) is Amazon's video game deal of the day for Thursday, at only $19.99. It goes by Pacific Time, so there's an hour and 48 minutes left as of this post. I'll try to remember to post about it the next time something relevant is DotD.

Friday, July 6, 2007

Thursday, June 28, 2007

Friday, May 25, 2007
3:24 PM PSP section
I added a new section for the PSP.

Friday, April 20, 2007
4:41 PM FF1 Anniversary Edition
Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition was released in Japan yesterday. Apparently it has an English language option too. Nice. Also available is the Asian version, which is slightly cheaper, but I don't know much about it.

Tuesday, April 17, 2007

Scott Ramsoomair of VG Cats has started an FFXI comic. Keen.

2:00 PM FF Anniversary Edition
FF1 & 2 are getting yet another rerelease. This time on the PSP, and not together. (You never know though, they might end up together by the time they're released in the US.)

Thursday, November 2, 2006
12:20 PM FF12
So FF12 came out in the US, and I got mine. Haven't had a chance to play it yet though.

Tuesday, September 19, 2006
1:37 AM Mario Hoops
Oh yeah, the S-E developed Mario Hoops game for the DS came out recently. In addition to the normal Mario crew, it features playable FF characters such as Black Mage, White Mage, Ninja, Moogle, and Cactaur.

1:30 AM Rocket Slime
Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime comes out today. It's a comical tank battle game. You need to buy this, so S-E gets the idea that we want Dragon Quest games. (So few of them make it to the US, it's a shame.)

Friday, September 8, 2006
8:56 PM Poll
Sorry the poll is so late. The site was down when it was time to change it, and then I just forgot. So the new one will last all month. Do you have the new Japanese DS remake of FF3?

Saturday, August 26, 2006
3:11 PM FF3 DS
Oops, forgot to mention this a couple of days ago. The Japanese version of the Final Fantasy III remake for the Nintendo DS was released. There's also a bundle with an FF3-themed DS Lite. Pretty pricey though, I don't mind waiting for the US release (which seems to be November 14 at this point).

And Gilgamesh immerges the winner!

This SoC Battle has gone on so long, the new poll is a kind of a break.

Wednesday, November 2, 2005
1:37 AM New Poll
Wow, Gilgamesh and Orthros were tied for a long time, and then Gilgamesh shot ahead and stayed that way. I guess he's more popular than I thought. The new poll is the final battle. See who will be the champion.

Monday, October 17, 2005
12:10 AM New Poll
That last poll was pretty much neck and neck the whole time, but the 2-Headed Dragon ended up on top. Now vote to see whether Gilgamesh or Orthros has what it takes to make to the final round against the 2-Headed Dragon.
