Forums - Microsoft Discussion - 1up: Mystery URL At Japanese Microsoft Site Suggests 360 Final Fantasy IV

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3172495

"Go ahead, click on this link:

http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/games/f/finalfantasy4/

Notice that Microsoft Japan's server appends a "details.page/" to the URL. Now try a different one; replace "finalfantasy4/" with "finalfantasy5/", gibberish, or anything else. No "details" are appended.

What does this mean? A "finalfantasy4" is registered on Microsoft Japan's Xbox 360 web page for some reason -- and we'd be willing to guess it might represent a forthcoming Xbox Live Arcade port of Square Enix's recent cell phone RPG Final Fantasy IV: The After. Just last week, Microsoft stated the following in its press release concerning Square Enix's first two XBLA releases, Yosumin and Crystal Defenders: "Beginning with these two games, Square Enix plans to release a steady stream of its popular titles -- as well as original content -- on Xbox LIVE Arcade". Both Yosumin and Crystal Defenders are ports from mobile platforms, so it's not such a stretch to imagine The After might be next.

Final Fantasy IV: The After is a direct sequel to FFIV, written and directed by original creator Takashi Tokita. A serial RPG in twelve chapters for the Japanese cell phone services (iMode, Yahoo!, and EZWeb), The After stars Cecil and Rosa's son, Ceodore, and takes place a decade after the events of the original game."

great, i wana play that. i hope they put it on all systems.



Microsoft seems to be shafting their first party game stidios in favor of hiring Square Enix to and other popular studios in making exclusive games. Seems worth it. (Star ocean 4 Infinite undiscovery, TOV,etc)



ya, it doesnt make sense not making them multiplatform...



what are you talking about. It says in Japanese "the page can't be found."



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
