- Final Fantasy XI will be released in North America around the first quarter of 2004 for the Playstation 2. In order to sell the game in a much easier fashion, Sony will be publishing the title and will distribute the 40 gigabyte hard drive with the actual game title. Sony will also be releasing a new Playstation 2 package which comes complete with a network adapter and other extras for about 199 dollars. Final Fantasy XI will be on display at the E3 conference.
- Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is told to have lost some of the traditional elements of other Final Fantasy games. For example, like Final Fantasy X-2, it is a short, mission-based game. It is also said to lack summon monsters and CG scenes, another traditional aspect of the later Final Fantasy games. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is slated for a release in Japan on July 18, 2003, with a North American release sure to followup. It will be on display at the E3 conference.
