What is your most anticipated game of April 2019?

To be perfectly honest, i felt the story was complete with the Perfect 100% Ending of Final Fantasy X-2 where Tidus and Yuna finally reunited with one another but now since the releases of both Final Fantasy X-2.5 -Eien no Daisho- and Final Fantasy X -Will-, i want to see the Final Fantasy X franchise get the closure it finally deserves and both Tidus and Yuna finally have their ultimate happy ending together with one another, i want to see an ending similar to Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, hopefully we will get a Final Fantasy X-3 and also hopefully when we do, things will finally end happily between both Tidus and Yuna once and for all, i don't want the messes left over in both X-2.5 and X -Will- to not be cleaned up, i just want the Final Fantasy X cast to get all the happy endings that they deserve in a Lighting Returns style, know what i mean?

WARNING: Mature Strong Language involved. Introduction Theme Song: https://youtu.be/cAhyt2D9B3A. Tagline I: "...A Fantasy...Set...in Space..." Tagline II: "...Destination: The Milky Way, Location: Planet Earth, Mission: Relocation." Synopsis: "...It is the year 3020...over 1000 years ago, Humanity was forced to leave both Planet Earth and the Space Colonies orbiting around it, due to the sudden appearance of a very both strange and mysterious virus plague that the Humans dubbed, as the "Scream", for whoever was infected by the Scream would slowly turn mad and eventually, scream out in unbearable pain until finally, at last, they would simply...die out, one, by one... In order to save the future that are the next generations of Humanity, the Humans fled from their home-planet and their Space Colonies, boarding giant spacecrafts that they had made and they had called the "Titans", named in honour of old gods of their Planet's very ancient mythologies and you see, by using those said giant spaceships, Humanity had left behind their home system of The Milky Way and had traveled across all the way to various other systems, such, as The Horsehead Nebula and/or The Andromeda Galaxy for examples and had set up both new settlements and new Space Colonies there, knowing that Humanity was now free to begin Space exploration across other Planets and seek out new life, new civilizations, new cultures, basically new everything that they could add to their own history, however...Humanity still longs dreams of returning back to its own system, its own, home... Before Humanity had settled cozily into their new homes, there were those that did not take well to their sudden arrival and thus began the ancient "Settlement War", between the Humans themselves and all other "Alien" races, such, as the Human like beings, the "Space Elves", the Humanoid Lion like beings, the "Li" and finally, the Aquatic like beings, the "Aquarians", nicknamed the "Aquari" for short...the battles between the four intergalactic races was long and everlasting, until eventually, one battle where the Space Elves, the Li and the Aquari all banded together, as one despite past differences with one another, trying to drive Humanity back out of their home systems resulted in lots of tons upon tons of casualties, that battle was proclaimed, as the "Endgame", as it had served to finally end the war between the four races living in space and finally create among them a united colony of people that could potentially join hands with each other and help make their shared entire universe a better place... However...there were those among the Li who still did not agree with Humanity's presence among their kind and so they broke off into a rebellious warmongering faction, naming themselves the "True Believers", as they unlike everyone else do not "fall for the lies of Humanity", thus beginning a civil war between the peoples of the Li and an intended conquest over Humanity, this had led to one final war that is still currently ongoing to this day, it is known, as the "Bloodbath", the war has last for oh so very many years until eventually, it seemed like everything was about to come to a close at the Planet of "To", where here, a young Human upstart rising through the ranks rookie soldier by the name of "Ewan" without realizing has just started taking his very 1st step, into a larger world, a larger galaxy, some might even say...a larger "Fantasy"... Here start the Chronicles, of Humanity's Voyage home, back to their beloved Milky Way system and most especially, their Planet Earth...it has begun, the prophesied time of awakening, what we, of the secretive Moogle race believe to be...the "Final Fantasy", Kupo!" Main Theme Song: https://youtu.be/xSXr99WhxDo. Prologue: Planet To-Where War Ends and War Starts Again: "...Soldier...Soldier...SOLDIER EWAN! DO YOU COPY ME!?" "...Huh? wha? !? S-SORRY SIR! YES SIR! READ YOU, LOUD AND CLEAR!" "...Good! that is very good! your quick on the uptake, Soldier! now listen up you maggots! i ain't going to be responsible for what happens to you out there, right now we're facing our last stand against those Lion bastards, the Li and i will tell you now men, they will show no quarter, they will show no mercy, guys like you fledglings, they'll gobble you up and eat you for breakfast! now listen up, cause i won't be repeating myself again after this! ahem: The High Council of the Four Interplanetary Races-"Dumont" have assigned us dogs of the Human militaristic force-the mercenary task force squad "Zantetsuken" to clean up the messes of those Lion wimps, the Li by wiping out their renegade rebel faction, the "True Believers", as they call themselves...APPARENTLY, those ass wipes can't find it within their goddamn minds to accept us "Puny" and "Feeble" Humans without fangs, claws or manes just like they have so now, we're going to show those "Believers" just how "Puny" and "Feeble" we Humans really are! WE'RE going to show EVERYONE that we ain't just dogs to be used in battle both whenever and wherever the higher ups feel like sending us out towards at, no, we ain't just dogs...WE'RE WOLVES! AND WE BITE! YOU GOT THAT YOU LITTLE SHITS!?" "SIR YES SIR!" "I-CAN'T-HEAR-YOU!" "SIR, COMMANDER CID, SIR!" "Right, now get your asses out there before i have to kick them, remember, we ain't doing all this for honour, guts or glory, none of that shit...what we're doing here, why we're doing this, is so we can get PAID! paid in cold-hard-cash, you feel me? DO YOU HEAR ME!?" "YES! COMMANDER CID SIR!" "Alright! that's what i want to hear now go out there and make papa bear Cid proud! don't come slouching back if you're dead or you haven't earned your pay, MOVE OUT! HOORAH!" "HOORAH!" "Zantetsuken...FORWARD MARCH! MOVE OUT!" "CHARGE!" "..." "Finally, a real mission i can get to prove myself on, don't you agree Ewan? ...uh, Ewan? hello? Earth to Ewan!" "...Earth...huh? W-WHA!?" "Come on Ewan! the fun's already started, everyone has already marched out ahead in front of us! come on! we can still catch up to them! let's show those Lion bastards what we're made of, huh, CHARGE!" "AH HEY! WAIT! ...tch! dammit...dammit all to hell! CHARGE!" "...It was the Planet To, it was rumoured that here would be located the True Believers' primary headquarters, in an effort to finally take them out both once and for all, the High Council of Dumont have sent in a group of mercenaries to sneak into their main base whilst the regular army that acts under the direct orders of the High Council will distract the Believers, giving the mercenary squad Zantetsuken enough time to plant bombs within the base, thereby blowing it sky high, it is intended...as a Kamikaze suicide mission where should any of the mercenaries survive, they will be bestowed with the highest of honours by the leaders of the High Council in person and will especially be rewarded handsomely, however, for Ewan, it was not about making money for himself, rather, making...a difference, he believes that by acting, as a Soldier can he help innocent lives avoid more bloodshed then they have already suffered and he can help himself make one step further to fulfilling his dream, what that dream is...i really don't know, Kupo!" (To be continued.).

With Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remastered just being released on Steam yesterday, I want to know, who is your favorite player character from it? (player character is someone that you can play as, of course) Mine is Auron.

2001's legendary JRPG, Final Fantasy X which was produced by Yoshinori Kitase & directed by Motomu Toriyama along with two former Square Enix employees is still getting promoted in 2016 at Taipei Game Show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbuCNaUp5Fk All the evidence that suggests Final Fantasy X-3 is right here.

Tara Strong, the voice actor of Rikku in the Final Fantasy X series has teased she'll be back as Rikku soon. Everything supporting Final Fantasy X-3 is right here. Motomu Toriyama Returns: 2016 with FINAL FANTASY X-3

In an interview with FFDream.com, a French Final Fantasy website back in 2013, Motomu Toriyama, the director of the Final Fantasy X series revealed they were about to make a prequel for FFX but the idea was scrapped and probably won't happen. Read the full quote below thanks to @BousfHearts.

Motomu Toriyama might have sold the most games ever in the history of Square Enix by a director. The Final Fantasy X series sold over 14 million copies worldwide on PlayStation 2. Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings has sold over 1.04 million copies worldwide. The Final Fantasy XIII series has sold over 11 million copies worldwide on PlayStation 3 & Xbox 360. This alone is enough to place Toriyama with 26.04 million however he's games have continued to sell through re-releases. Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2 have sold quite well on Windows PC with XIII close to half a million copies sold and XIII-2 about 1/4 of a million. Numbers are obviously unknown for iOS & Android. While Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster exceeded Square Enix's expectations selling over 500,000 copies in Japan in less than a year and getting itself a PlayStation 4 bundle in China after becoming a best seller. It's only natural that the very man he's the successor of, Yoshinori Kitase is the only other person with a case to make for best selling director in SE history. Final Fantasy VI has sold over 4.43 million copies worldwide. Chrono Trigger has sold over 3.44 million copies worldwide. Final Fantasy VII has sold over 11 million copies worldwide. Final Fantasy VIII has sold nearly 8.5 million copies worldwide. + close to half a million for the Steam version

Square Enix has announced that Final Fantasy X & Final Fantasy X-2 have together sold over 14 million copies worldwide on PlayStation 2. We can assume X sold 8-8.5 million where X-2 sold 5.5-6 million. Here's a translation of the paragraph thanks to goldpanner. Sadly we don't have have combined numbers for X/X-2 HD Remaster but we know it sold over 500,000 copies in Japan in less than a year and sold quite well internationally and even got a PS4 bundle in China after becoming a best seller, exceeding Square Enix's sales expectations. With all this in mind, FFX is easily the second best selling game in the Final Fantasy series and might even be in the conversation for the best selling ever. X-2 is also now the 4th highest selling Final Fantasy game in the series and would only be slightly behind VIII if at all.

GamesRader have posted their best PS2 games of all time feature and coming in at #4 is Yoshinori Kitase & Motomu Toriyama's Final Fantasy X. Fitting spot for the second highest selling Final Fantasy game of all time.

The greatest JRPG of all time is now 14-years-old. Despite the PlayStation 2's initial small market at the time, it achieved platinum status in Japan after only one day. It would go on to sell almost 7 million copies worldwide by January 2004. Readers of Famitsu magazine voted it the best game of all time in early 2006. Final Fantasy X can be considered a pioneer in 3-D RPG maps. It holds a 92 rating on Metacritic. It also spawned the first direct-sequel in franchise history with Final Fantasy X-2 which sold 4 million copies before its release in Europe. Final Fantasy X featured an all-star team of devs including producer Yoshinori Kitase, directors Motomu Toriyama, Takayoshi Nakazato and Toshiro Tsuchida. The game also featured four scenario writers in Kazushige Nojima, Daisuke Watanabe, Motomu Toriyama and Yoshinori Kitase. Along with art directors Yusuke Naora and Shintaro Takai. Main character designer Tetsuya Nomura, composers Nobuo Uematsu, Masashi Hamauzu and Junya Nakano with programmers Koji Sugimoto and Takashi Katano. Over a decade later, it was beautifully remastered in high definition with its sequel and released as Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster for PlayStation 3 & PlayStation Vita and despite the PS3 market moving onto PlayStation 4 the HD collection still still sold very highly with over 500,000 copies sold in Japan alone after less than a year. With even further enhanced graphics they were released on PlayStation 4 earlier this year. Final Fantasy X continues to win various awards even in 2015. Following the release of a novella titled Final Fantasy X-2.5 by Kazushige Nojima and an audio drama included in Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster and Nojima admitting he'd like to see a second sequel speculation remains high that Final Fantasy X-3 is now in development with director of the Final Fantasy X series Motomu Toriyama confirming his new project will be announced in 2015.

Check out the details here. Personally I'd prefer a standalone version of Blitzball but this could be cool.

So apparently, random encounters in the PS4 version aren't so random anymore. You'll run into them exactly when you're supposed to, and in battle, the enemies will follow the same pattern over and over. This isn't something I would have recognized myself, but many people have taken notice to it already.

In an interview with Siliconera, Kazuyuki Ikumori the director of Visual Works has said he "would love to!" make another full CGI movie using Square Enix's IP library. When asked what he would personally like to make he said "I would like to make a title tied to the Final Fantasy series since it is so well known globally. I would probably pick a past title like Final Fantasy VIII or Final Fantasy X because those stories are complete and I wouldn’t want to ruin a game that is still ongoing. Since the stories in VIII and X have concluded it is easier to make those into movies and tell a story instead of trying to incorporate gameplay." This follows Kazushige Nojima, the main scenario writer of Final Fantasy X & Final Fantasy X-2 writing the infamous novella and audio drama following X-2: Last Mission and saying he'd like to make a Final Fantasy X-3. I really wonder what Motomu Toriyama and Yoshinori Kitase think about doing another entry in the FFX series.

Square Enix President Yosuke Matsuda has revealed that they're revealing a new Japanese role playing game for consoles later this year. This follows the news that Motomu Toriyama, the man who has directed more Final Fantasy games than anyone else ever alongside being on the Final Fantasy Committee will be revealing a new title in 2015. Toriyama himself confirmed his new title was in development in December and that it will be revealed in 2015, but likely begun development early in 2014 following Lightning Returns and X/X-2 HD Remaster. Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster has been a great success selling over two million copies worldwide on PlayStation 3 & PlayStation Vita in addition to the 14 million copies sold on the original PlayStation 2 versions of Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2. Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster will be released on PlayStation 4 in May. The HD collection also includes an audio drama that continues on after the events of Last Mission and was released alongside a official novella both of which lead up to some pretty big stuff that makes a sequel seem obvious. But even in the case it's not X-3, personally I'm very excited by another game by my favourite director and most likely producer with the man that was behind the highest selling games in Square Enix history, Yoshinori Kitase.

so I figured that today would be as good a day as any to try and finally get Tidus' celestial weapon, Caladbolg. I dreaded the day I would have to do the chocobo race in order to get the Sun Sigil, but it had to be done. my levels of anger during this chocobo race were off the charts, but after 3 strenuous hours of attempting to get the perfect time of 0.0 seconds and listening to the chocobo racing music on loop, I FINALLY did it. it was extremely difficult, but I'm so glad I was finally able to get Caladbolg.

With Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster releasing on PlayStation 4 in two months it's fitting time to bring these interviews back up.

...and I accidentally saved over my first file, my file I spent countless hours on. my heart hurts
