They just announced a new game:

FINAL FANTASY XV - A King's Tale announced

2D sidescroller action brawler.

Being discussed right now at SE Presents E3 Day 1.

Edit: For PS4/XBONE, out 9.30.16

Trailer to debut at Comic-Con

Edit 2: Apparently it's a GameStop pre-order bonus.

The game is set 30 years before FFXV and you play as King Regis (story is told from the perspective of a fairy tale being told to Noctis).

Final Fantasy 12 Devs Considering a New Game Using the Gambit System/New Ivalice game

Final Fantasy XII marked a significant departure from previous games in the series with the introduction of its Gambit system. While the series has since moved on from it, the game's developers revealed they have contemplated new games in the XII sub-series or even a totally new game using the Gambit system.

The 10-year-old XII recently returned to the limelight with the announcement of a remastered version, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age. During a roundtable discussion with producer Hiroaki Kato and director Takashi Katano (both of whom worked on the original game), they discussed whether XII was their first choice for a remaster project.


"The only game they really considered remastering was [Final Fantasy] XII," Katano said through a translator. "If anything, they were maybe considering using the Gambit system and taking that and developing a completely new game out of that, but that's still something they are thinking about."

Not only are they considering that, but they want to know whether fans are interested in such a game.

"If you actually write that in the article, if you get feedback with that, that might encourage them to work on a new game," he continued.

Did they have any news on Rise of the Tomb Raider for PS4? I've looked around but being an older game, brings older news..

Not heard anything about that Ryan, sorry.

Looking good. Liking the improvements on display. 2x/4x speed can be turned on at will. Map overlay instead of having to go through menus to find out where you are in the game world. Autosaves. Newly recorded soundtrack composed & arranged by Hitoshi Sakimoto redone with new synths and live orchestra. Faster load times. Visual upgrades all around. Retains the changes in the International Zodiac version (Job system, Trial Mode, game design changes etc).

Pre-ordering this sucker as soon as it's available for sure.

That translator though, god. :lol:
