The 20th Anniversary of Final Fantasy and the Square Enix Party of 2007!
Wednesday 21 March 2007 @ 5:53 pm | By Pootie Chang 2 CommentsFinal Fantasy. Where the Fantasy is never, EVER Final. And apparently, there’s a party recently announced. I’d imagine that there’d be liquor offered in Potion bottles and possibly a bunch of cosplayers for your… Final Fantasies. Hehe…
Here’s your sneak peek at the invitation:

Square Enix released, in daily Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, a publicity page to announce their special event “Square Enix Party 2007″ which will take place the 12th and 13th of next May at Makuhari Messe, a few kilometers east of Tokyo, Japan. We also find the logos of all of the shutters of the Final Fantasy series in development, as well as a phrase that’s intriguing enough, but leaves us dreaming; “Evolution will never stop, the series continues … and a new Final Fantasy that no one knows will enter the scene.” So, will a new Final Fantasy really be presented on the 20th anniversary of the series? Something to follow very closely.
This ought to get a rise out of you Final Fantasy fans. Of course, I expect many of you true Final Fantasy fans to show up there. What? You can’t afford it? Some fan you are… Not to mention, the fact that it’s in Japan is a bigger cocktease for ya, I bet… I can tell many of you will be selling some of your possessions (and body) and shipping yourselves off to Japan. Hmm… I wonder what new Final Fantasy they’re planning on unveiling come the 20th Anniversary? Whatever it is, I’m sure there’ll be just as many otaku hard-ons as there were when Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children was released…
Was I the only one?

I can’t see the Final Fantasy VIII, IX and X(-2) symbols on the poster/newspaper. Ok, maybe there was a lack of space, that’s true, but why remove the FF symbols that basicly helped the game franchise become even more famous that it already was around the whole world throughout these 20 years? Can’t understand…
And from the original titles, not even the FF IV symbol is shown! The one that definitly helped the FF franchise get shaped into the modern Final Fantasy universe we know today the most! They should have at least avoided adding all those FFVII spin-off titles and replaced them with more important ones, like FF X for example! There are at least 3 FF VII spin-offs there, I counted them! (Apart from FF VII Advent Children)
But I guess that they didn’t need to add them, since this is just a simple advertisment after all..but I still think that they should have added the FF X title instead of Vincent spin-off one..
Lucky whoever will manage to attend the meeting…I was a big fan (and VERY still am) of Square(-Enix) since I’ve entered the PS universe for the very first time. *sigh*I remember playing Dewprism (Threads of Fate) and Tombi!2 together happily with a nice summer breeze..wait a sec, I just went totally out of point:S
I absolutly love all their games (especially the Chrono series) but I still have yet to play Kingdom Hearts or the sequel of Brave Fencer Musashi, which is Samurai Legend. But I’m saving in order to, even if the PS2 era looks like is going to end soon-NOT!XP
Anyway, I’d have my exam finals during that week, & I honesty never travelled abroad alone, let alone with company. Bonus points along with cherries and dounuts, I’m too far away from Japan. (I live on a half dot-size island called Malta, right in the middle of Europe) so I guess it would be impossible for me to attend the meeting unless I know how to perform some kind of technique of teleporting like Son Goku’s…& even if I did, that alone would probably be an expensive trip.
So, I wish loads of fun to whoever will be attending the meeting, and make us poor (but trying) fan-boys/girls that would like to be there but cannot due to certain circumstances (lazyness does not count as a circumstance) happy that at least some people manages to go there!:)
