• First info on Ambrosia Odyssey available
  The latest edition of Famitsu reveals first details on Ambrosia Odyssey, an action RPG with both offline and online play. Apparently, the offline game will offer full-fledged gameplay where you can build your own towns replete with their own story and history while following a branching storyline. When you go online, you can visit other players\' towns and experience their stories and histories. Developed by Rocket Studio, KAI Graphics and Supersweep with supervision by Goi of Production Studio 10 (who worked on the game version of Junkmetal), Ambrosia Odyssey has no release date yet and suffered delays in its beta testing procedure.

• First details on Front Mission Online
  Famitsu also has new information on Front Mission Online, a title that has remained in the background so far. The title now appears to be nearly ready to enter beta testing later this year with a 2005 release on PS2 and PC to follow, and is reportedly of the \"action simulation\" genre, giving players the option to enter battle either as a single unit or as part of an army or platoon.

• Final Fantasy XI: Chains of Promathia officially announced
  As we suspected earlier, the second expansion for Final Fantasy XI, Chains of Promathia, is being readied for release this Autumn. Apparently, gamers will not be required to have the previous expansion, Rise of the Zilart (included with the US release), though there will be connections between the two that enhance the experience. With at least 40 new areas that fill in current empty parts of the world map and new modes of transport, the expansion looks to be more environmental than gameplay-altering: Square Enix doesn\'t intend to add any new jobs, skills, or increase the level cap at this time.
