On a press conference Square Enix said that Final Fantasy XIII will not be released this financial year (01/04/2007 - 31/03/2008). "The development lasts longer then originally was stated. It is impossible to release it in this financial year," Square Enix president Yoichi Wada commented.

So the game will not be released before April 2008 and it may take quite a while when the Europeans will get the game. Might be 2009...

CONFIRMED - Final Fantasy IV getting 3d remake for DS!

Posted by alexanderpas on 8 May 2007, 19:19 - 0 comments

Seems like Square-Enix can’t keep anything a secret for their upcoming party! Rumor has it that Square-Enix will be giving Final Fantasy IV the 3d makeover treatment to appear on the DS. The team working on the game is the same team that handled the 3d remake of Final Fantasy III. Of course, Square-Enix has no comment, and most likely won’t confirm anything until their party. I think it’s a safe bet to take this one as truth.

Posted by Zidane007nl on 6 May 2007, 17:43 - 0 comments

Hell and Heaven Net Topsites, which is one of the biggest and most active Final Fantasy & Square Enix Topsite list there is, has finally got a new design! The old layout was kinda old already and I didn't really liked the look anymore. The new one is a (dark) green layout which looks a lot better and is better readeble. Hope you'll like the new look.
However due to a bug in the script because of a mod members can't edit their site details at the moment. If you want to edit your site details, please contact me by using the contact form. Hope it will be fixed soon.
