Square Enix has updated the official website of Dissidia Final Fantasy with a brand new video from DKS3713. The video features a full one on one battle (Garland versus Warrior of Light) from the beginning until the end, and if you are planning on buying this game you must watch it.

- Go to: Watch video in the official website

NOTE: Click on “MOVIE”, and then click on the first video.

- Download: Dissidia Final Fantasy Battle 3 Video (Right click — Save Target As…)

NOTE: The video is in flash video movie format.

Square’s Takashi Tokita says that Final Fantasy 4: The After may actually be localized for a Western release!

Questioned about the possibility of more Final Fantasy 4 remakes, Tokita (producer/director of the DS remake) replied:

We just remade it, so it’s a bit of a stretch… Currently the sequel, Final Fantasy 4: The After, is available for mobile phones in Japan. We’ll do our best to make this game available for our overseas audiences as well!

As to how this would work on Western mobiles is unknown, but its graphics aren’t too advanced, so here’s hoping it’s possible!

We’ll keep you updated.

Yes you all have read right, the new Destiny Islands is finally open! The new design should compliment nicely with the other sections of the site, and we have also added a much sleeker interface to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. Hopefully you guys will enjoy the site as much as we do, although we are missing a lot of content on it. However we hope to get all of that up and working very very soon, so no worries there!

Although the new site is up and working, we are hoping to be adding a lot of new features to the site very, very soon. But as for right now, hope you guys enjoy the site! Please feel free to head over to http://destinyislands.com/ and check out what’s going on, and be sure to look out for updates in the future!

It’s official everyone!  We have box art and everything.  The remake of everyone’s favorite Gameboy Advance game, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, is officially being released stateside!  RE//Chain of Memories is set to be released in the U.S. on December 2, 2008 for a retail price of $29.99.  It includes both Sora’s and Riku’s story modes, and everything we know and love from the original.  The game also boasts full English Voice Acting (there’s a good chance that like the Japanese Version, the voice acting will only be for scenes taking place in the castle itself, while cutscenes from the various worlds will remain in text boxes), four new mini-games, and a completely remastered orchestral soundtrack, which I can only imagine will be available for sale shortly after the game is released.  I for one am personally excited, and I pretty much know what’ll be on all of our Christmas Lists this year.

KK Out.

Gaming website 1UP.com has translated the Weekly Famitsu issue, and posted some new information:

- Dissidia is being released at the same date the original Final Fantasy was released 21 years ago.

- Cecil’s Paladin/Dark Knight forms both have their advantages. As a Dark Knight Cecil will be slower, but more powerful in ground fights, and as a Paladin Cecil will be faster in aerial fights.

- Dissidia is not just a regular fighter, it’s an RPG of sorts. The game is divided into stages, each on its own checkerboard-like map. The main character moves around like a pawn, picking up equipment and potions on the map and fighting whenever you stop adjacent to an enemy pawn. In order to move on the map we’ll need “Destiny Points” - think of them as action points. DP is earned by defeating non-boss enemies, and the more DP you have at the end of a stage, the more bonus stuff you’ll get. Stage bosses are usually on the other side of the map.
