The classic Final Fantasy IV, known as Final Fantasy II when originally released in the United States, is soon going to be re-released for the Game Boy Advance and published by Nintendo. This newest version of the classic entry in the series is sure to please many fans, as it will include new content on top of the entire original game.
Final Fantasy IV on the GBA is set for a December 12th release, according to Nintendo of America.
Square has also divulged some more information about its most anticipated title--Final Fantasy XII's battle system has, at long last, been detailed more thoroughly. Gamers familiar with the world of Ivalice will know it features a wide range of species, including humans, viera, moogles, and the lizard-like bangaa. In FFXII, a "Chain" system will be in place, rewarding players for defeating multiple creatures of the same race in succession. When used effectively, this promises to grant players more valuable items as they defeat more and more enemies.
Combo attacks will also be featured in the battle system, but they will appear at random, and the likelyhood of such an attack taking place is dictated by each character's equipped weapon. Characters will also randomly some attacks, and this feature is, predictably, based on the defensive gear equipped.
Adding a new twist to the battles, it appears that opposing clans and races will actually battle one another before your very eyes, and will even sport their respective job classes.
Last, but certainly not least, Advent Children saw its debut in Japan last week, bringing a close to years of hard work on the part of Square Enix's staff as the picture was shown on the big screen and accompanied by many members of the cast. The rest of the world still has a few months to receive the DVD and UMD versions of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
