One of the most beloved and perhaps overlooked entries in the Final Fantasy series will finally get a re-release on the Steam platform. This release is also partially upgraded with some features exclusive to Valve’s service like trading cards.
In addition to other Steam features, the port boasts a few upgrades according to the store page:
・Achievements
・Seven game boosters including high speed and no encounter modes.
・Autosave
・High-definition movies and character models.
The expected release for FFIX on Steam is “early 2016.”
Levels! Episode 1: First Levels and Fanfares I’m trying to start a short video series comprised of what I think the best themed levels are. To begin I have compiled the best first levels/dungeons/instances that start games. Also included are the victory themes and fanfares when each of the levels are completed. Enjoy!
Kotaku posted an article today about one man’s personal goal to transform FFVII from 3D to 2D! It’s a great read and spectactular for any fan of this beloved RPG waiting for the fabled HD remake.

It already sounds like a lot … a small team is taking up the endeavor of crafting a single player experience from a massively multiplayer online game. When asked about including the vast world of FFXI and translating the MMO experience to a single player roleplaying game, the creator seemed pretty confident.
I plan on taking on most of the areas up until about three years ago, so, everything minus the Abyssea content. As far as the experience…it wont be the same feeling as the game itself, but it will definitely bring back a lot of memories for those who have played FFXI for a long time. It will be significantly different, but in a weird way, the same.
