Square Enix answered a few questions about the Ivalice Alliance in an interview and even hinted at the possibility of a Vagrant Story port to the Sony PSP. From how Squeenix responded to the query, we'd also bet on a game starring Basch and a U.S. version of Final Fantasy XII International: Zodiac Job System. Now that Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is out, we've seen how Square Enix can port such dated games to the PlayStation Portable. Vagrant Story, another PlayStation title from the Ivalice Alliance, is sure to woo fans if it gets a makeover. When asked if there are plans to port that to the PSP like what Square Enix did with FFT, Ivalice Executive Producer Akitoshi Kawazu replied: Vagrant Story was a title that pushed the PS one to its limits. The technical hurdles in porting it to the PSP would be extremely high. Of course, I think it's the next natural candidate for such an update, and there's no denying its extreme popularity overseas. Basch, who was initially intended to be Final Fantasy XII's leading man, doesn't seem to be out of the scene. FFXII: Revenant Wings for the Nintendo DS has Vaan as the main guy, which leaves the question of what happens to who's supposedly the main character in FFXII. Square Enix declined to answer, and left us scrambling for our thinking caps. On another note, producer Hiroyuki Ito left a tiny open window for any North American FFXII International: Zodiac Job System release. Chances are slim, but enough for the faithful. According to Ito: Right now, the prospects of a North American version are the playoff prospects of a 9-6 team, down 2 with 2:02 left to play, facing 4th and 7 on the opponent's 43-yard line. You can check out the entire interview of Kawazu and Ito with 1Up by following the Read link below. |

We've got another Square Enix Party '07 interview, and the guys working on Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War
speak this time. GamesRadar sat beside Executive Producer Akitoshi
Kawazu, Co-producer Shingo Kosuge, and Translator Tom Slattery to get
juicy info about this upcoming title.Since the release of Final Fantasy Tactics back in 1998, several spin-offs were released and Ivalice Alliance was formed. GamesRadar asks, "Have you had to make any adjustments to the game in the remake because of this?" and Kawasu replied "No, there's nothing that particularly changed because of the Ivalice Alliance." Series fans were filled with joy when Aeris sold them flowers in FFT, while Cloud was a hidden playable character. Are there any new secret characters in the remake? "We've added two new characters, both of whom are from other Ivalice Alliance games: Balthier from Final Fantasy XII and Russo, who is the main character in Final Fantasy Tactics A2," says Kawazu. More on the interview after the jump! |
