The ESRB's ratings page has done a bang-up job lately of giving us an idea of what big games are coming to the PSOne Classics service next. We saw Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid and we got 'em (although the latter is still launching this week), so there's no reason to believe that this new entry in the listings is bogus.

Now that Final Fantasy VII's already out on the PlayStation Store, what's next for Sony's PSOne Classics service? Why, Metal Gear Solid of course!

This is gonna be a good one. Square Enix has announced the upcoming release of the Kingdom Hearts Piano Collection, featuring the relaxing music from the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Even the battle music is relaxing, and having them on piano just makes the perfect gaming RnR.

You think you know the FF7 universe all the way up to, and including, Crisis Core? Studio Bent Stuff, the guys in Japan responsible for the FF Ultimania guides, is taking advantage of the upcoming release of FF7: Advent Children Complete. The FFVII 10th Anniversary Ultimania, which was more recently released side-by-side with Crisis Core: FF7, is getting an update to reflect new info released for the FF7 universe.

Just as promised, we finally got translations from the Dissidia Ultimania guide we reported on yesterday. Here, we get a blow-by-blow (-by-blow-by-blow-by-blow...) account on the EX modes of all 20 main characters in the game - buttons you have to press, timing sequences, bars, gauges and all that. Oh, and TLDR, my foot! If you're an FF-geek, consider this a crash course on 20 years' worth of limit breaks, final attacks, and the lot. This is, after all, about Dissidia's characters' EX Modes. That's where you get to unleash hell on your opponent.

Remember all the ruckus Square Enix caused when they released a full-page magazine ad with a picture of Cloud and the words "Cloud Message... Coming Soon"? I thought it could be anything from a new movie to an actual FFVII remake... I just never thought it would be a book. Yes, a book.

Didn't see that coming, did you?

A scan from Famitsu confirms Bartz Klauser from FFV joining the cast of fighters in Dissidia: Final Fantasy. Yeah, you definitely wouldn't want to mess with him - he means business. Even if he looks like he's wearing nothing but toliet paper or something...

In an interview, Dissidia senior director Ken Arakawa reveals their plans for TGS. Not only will they be bringing a playable demo, but apparently, if all things go accordingly, the full roster will finally be revealed. Which means... if any of you wanna do some speculating, this is you last chance before we get confirmation! (and here I am, still hoping for Ultros or Opera Vectra to show up...)

Cid has been a staple character in the Final Fantasy series since time immemorial. And it's high time we celebrate (i.e. geek out on) this iconic character that's been around through the ages. Join us for a look back on the life and times of Cid. Are you sure you know them all? We got a chain-smoking pilot and a frog - there's also the guy in the Mega Man suit and even one that looks like Robin Williams. Think you're a Cid buff? Well, it's time to celebrate twenty years of Final Fantasy!

Sweet! We haven't heard of any new characters for Dissidia since Tidus and Jecht were officially revealed, but now, we got a scan from Shonen Jump that shows the hero and villain representing the Final Fantasy III world. Sorry, guys, still no Lenneth Valkyrie confirmed. Check out the scan and an updated list of confirmed characters for Dissidia so far in the full article. (And no, that's not a nipple.)
