The second Compilation of Final Fantasy title was released in 2006. Dirge of Cerberus followed the story of Vincent Valentine following the destruction of Midgar, set two years following Final Fantasy 7. The game was a bit of a flop with it’s ungainly movement and battle system. The developers tried at a first-person shooter but ended up creating a bulky game that failed to appeal to Final Fantasy fans, or fans of the first-person shooter genre.
Also in 2006, a complete remake (and I do mean remake) of Final Fantasy 3 was released for the Nintendo DS. The new release features completely redone 3D graphics and enhancements to every aspect of the game. Square left gamers with the hope that more titles would be receiving this treatment and they did not disappoint: Final Fantasy 4 DS was announced in May 2007.
2007 brought announcements of many new titles in the series. Final Fantasy 13 is currently under development for the Playstation 3 console, Final Fantasy 12: Revenant Wings is on it’s way to North America on the Nintendo DS, and Final Fantasy 1 & 2 are receiving full remakes for the Playstation Portable. Also to feature on the PSP are the much anticipated Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core and Final Fantasy Dissidia, the first fighting game to grace the series.
Two spin-offs of Final Fantasy 13 are already in development with Agito coming to the mobile market and a second title, Versus, for the Playstation 3.
This section will be updated as new releases happen and as new announcements are made!
