As Kyono reported (see below), Shonen Jump has revealed that a port of Final Fantasy Tactics (with added features, much like the GBA versions of classic Final Fantasy titles) will be hitting the PSP as a part of Square Enix's new "Ivalice Alliance."  A few magazine pages have been scanned and are now available on the web--check them out here and here.

The second game Square Enix unveiled, which is currently believed to be titled "Final Fantasy Tactics A2: The Sealed Black Book," is being released for an as-yet unspecified platform--however, it is suspected that the game is being developed for either the Gameboy Advance or the Nintendo DS.  Both platforms make sense, given the huge userbase of the GBA and the amazing success of Nintendo's DS, which can also play GBA games itself.

According to Joystiq, another magazine by the name of "Gamelabo" mentions that Square Enix is working on two more games for the Xbox 360, aside from the already-announced Project Sylpheed, which is being developed by Game ...

According to Japan's Shonen Jump magazine, Square-Enix are planning not one but two new entries into the Final Fantasy Tactics series much loved by many of the series followers.

The first game is a PSP version of Final Fantasy Tactics, but it's not a direct port. It will feature two new job classes, cel-shaded FMV's and widescreen display mode. More details should be expected in the near future.

The other game hinted at is still shrouded in mystery at this point. All that's known is that it is titled "Final Fantasy Tactics A2 Fuuketsu no Guurimore." We don't know what platform you can expect to see it on, but we'll keep you updated.

These two games, along with FFXII: Revenant wings, form a Trilogy that Square-Enix is calling the "Ivalice Alliance"  (Ivalice, of course, being the world both FFTactics and FFXII are set in.) With Jump's annual Festa Comic and Video game show coming up soon, we'll hopefully have a more in depth look at both of these projects for you.

With the JUMP Festa just five days away, Square Enix is pulling out all the stops to make sure Final Fantasy has a strong presence at this year's event.  Hot on the heels of the exciting news about the Nintendo DS title Ring of Fates, Square has let slip some new information regarding their other two surefire portable hits, Revenant Wings and Crisis Core.

The latest issue of Famitsu reports that Revenant Wings takes place above Ivalice in a place called Remless, a floating island chain far above the locations familiar to FFXII enthusiasts.  The island chain is inhabited by a race of Eagle Humes, who apparently live relatively short lives of approximately 40 years.  One of these Eagles, a young soldier by the name of Lluyd, meets Vaan and Penelo on their adventure.

Apparently the game will use the second screen to display additional data, as there will be too much to cram onto one screen.  Gamers will also purportedly be able to switch the screens between top and bottom, and it will be interesting to see how this feature works with the touch-screen interface.

Unfortunately, Revenant Wings will not be playable at JUMP Festa, but a new trailer is a likely bet.
