I’m happy to learn that Final Fantasy IV sequel, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, will be released on steam on May 12th.
Personally Final Fantasy IV, one of the most cherished game of my childhood. I loved the game so much that sometime at school I would plan in my notebook I would rise my level to beat those mad ogres to get that elixir chest sooner, even though I wouldn’t use that elixir before the final battle. So I’m happy it’s coming to steam but if you are following my channel you know that it’s already available on mobile.
The After Years follows the original cast 17 year after Final Fantasy IV ended. There are with some additional characters that are introduced including Cecil and Rosa son. It received the same 3D remake that Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy IV received on the Nintendo DS & iOS.
If you’re a fan of the first and you want to play it on your PC, this game is a definitive grab.

Final Fantasy VI
For those who don’t know one of my favorite game of all time Final Fantasy VI is out on android and iOs. It come out with “improved” graphic and hopefully with the extra goodies of the gameboy advance version (Dragon Den’s, new espers, etc)
I’m big fan of this game, I’ve even recently finished the gameboy advance version. I find that the game might be a big expensive at 15.99$ for a mobile game, but If you think about it the original game was around 60$.

It seems that Square Enix is going to be inspired by Supercell’s Clash of Clans with its upcoming RTS Dragon Sky.
from the few images we got it seems that their mixing the artwork familiar Final Fantasy-loving crowd with the base-raiding gameplay of CoC, Dragon Sky has a lot going on.
It’s even have Final Fantasy XI composer Naoshi Mizuta attached to the project.
A large portion of Dragon Sky will focus on multiplayer battles and cooperative raid boss instances, but there is also a single-player campaign that doles out the story behind the events of the world.

Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy V will make its way to Android on September 26.
If you’re a fan of Final Fantasy or JRPG that a great news, Final Fantasy V was actually a really good game back in the 90’s but never made it to the snes. We had to wait for a re-release on the Playstation to enjoy it. The game wills have updated graphics and character portraits while retaining the 16-bit aesthetic of the original.
If you never played Final Fantasy V, but played some other of the series, you will fin that the most notable difference is the job system. You can freely select a job for each characters and the characters can learn skill from the job he has and you can change it when you want. There was a total of 22 jobs in the original 26 in the gameboy advance version. Let hope they will give us the lasted update.
