New 'Final Fantasy' Games Plot to Conquer Your Summer

This summer North American gamers will be bombarded with new Final Fantasy titles, according to recent updates by Square Enix. FF fans can expect to see Final Fantasy Tactics A2, Final Fantasy IV DS and Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon on store shelves beginning in June.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 is the long awaited Nintendo DS sequel to 2003's Final Fantasy Tactics Advance on the Game Boy Advance. The game will play similar to the previous game, but will feature a new storyline, new characters, better graphics, new job classes and online capabilities via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. FFTA2 is scheduled to ship June 24th.


Final Fantasy IV for Nintendo DS is a remake of the original FFIV for SNES (also ported to PS1 and GBA), featuring for the first time 3D graphics and voice-acting. It is expected to ship this July.



Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon is a light hearted dungeon crawler for Wii where gamers will play as a chocobo and explore dungeons and battle with cute monsters. It looks like a simple children's game, but will offer some depth and little bit of fan service for series fans. Just don't dive in expecting a full Final Fantasy experience. Chocobo's Dungeon is scheduled to ship July 8th.
