Final Fantasy Tactics Advance overview

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance synopsis

In stark contrast to the original Final Fantasy Tactics for the PlayStation, which portrayed a misogynistic, exploitative, war-ravaged world, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is ostensibly about the adventures of three ordinary kids from St. Ivalice (look familiar?) whose world is transformed into one of mystery and fancy. Is "Final Fantasy" just a game?

E3 2007 - Square Enix to bring online store stateside
In addition to its E3 lineup announcement, Square Enix has revealed its scheme to open a North American online store. Square Enix, as a self-described "premiere [maker] of high end-collectibles" plans to stock a multitude of "popular and hard-to-find items" including Master Arms, Play Arts, and Mechanical Arts spanning various series, from Final Fantasy to Kingdom Hearts.

Sakaguchi announced that Mist Walker was founded over three years ago, and also said that they will soon be making a major announcement. Well, that was kinda underwhelming. Quiter
