Around the Network

Not being sarcastic here, seriously no new games announced. Everything here game wise we pretty much knew was coming but they release a F*!#$G wine set, cups of noodles flavors, moogle cakes, what the hell man.



Only disappointing if you were expecting something. I didn't even know it was a thing, looks like there was some cool news/announcements in there.



I really hoped for the compilation announcement of ff 1-9

Well most were expecting a new game announcement or a remaster collection of some sort, and still nothing.

Screw the event, we already had the best FF news last year.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Seems like a very fitting way to celebrate Final Fantasy, tbh.

Square is almost as hoardy as Nintendo when it comes to precious rom files that can be run on toasters.

But maybe we will hear some other news through the whole year, the real anniversary would be december 18th, where the ff1 was released in japan, maybe release date for ffvii remake this year, would be nice but i wan't be to optimistic;)
