Are the days of those beautfiul CG movies in the FF series coming to an end? Perhaps.... Square Enix president Youichi Wada recently said that the number of movies shown in FF12 will be scaled down. He also mentioned that the facial animations for the game would consist of 1,400 polygons.
Wada commented on the PSP (Playstation Portable), saying that he believed the handheld would not be as good as the Gameboy Advance and therefore had no plans to port or remake GBA titles for the PSP. He would not, however, comment on any plans to release games for the system.
Our favourite game company also recently announced its profits for the first half of the fiscal year of 2003/2004. Square announced that they have made a consolidated profit of 1.1 billion yen ($10.07 million US) on the sales of 19.7 billion yen ($180.32 million US) for the first half of the year.
