Since the Square-Enix party is coming up soon a few new games have release windows instead of vague 2007 release dates. Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors is coming out sooner than expected. It has a spring 2007 release window so we might see it in May and at the latest in June. Itadaki Street DS, which has Mario and Dragon Quest mashed together, is scheduled to come out in the summer. Meanwhile all of the Final Fantasy XIII games have vague to be determined release dates, which suggests we might not see them until 2008. Here is what Square-Enix has planned for Japan in 2007:
April 19
Final Fantasy (20th Anniversary)
April 26
Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
May 10
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War
June 7
Final Fantasy II (20th Anniversary)
2007 Spring
Dragon Quest Swords
2007 Summer
Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road
Itadaki Street DS
2007
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete (blu-ray)
It’s a Wonderful World
Release Date TBD
Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Final Fantasy Agito XIII
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates
Out of the 2007 games Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War, It’s a Wonderful World and Dragon Quest Swords are on my playlist. Which of these games are you most looking forward to?
I was hoping for some FF Tactics Advance 2 news, but I guess I’ll just have to get by with trying to import Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War (not that that’s a bad thing).
I was thrilled to see FFXII:RW was going to be released at the end of April. Until I re-read it and saw it was the Japanese release date. What a let down!
So does that mean I can finally have my own copy of It’s A Wonderful World, Square-Enix? THank you so much.
As for the list, I think I’m more inclinced to purchasing FFXII: Revenant Wings and FFT: Lion War than any of the rest. FF and FFII PSP can wait since I’ve played them so many times (looks @ GBA compilation, PSOne compilation, NES/Famicom carts of both I and II).
Louise - sorry to bring your hopes up then dash them down!
Roli O. - I feel the same way about FF1 and FF2 PSP. I’m sort of curious what kind of new dungeon FF2 PSP is going to have, clash of Final Fantasy protagonists from Final Fantasy IV? If that were the case I would buy it right away.
What?! The cast of FFIV vs. cast of FFII? Cecil > Frionel!
Not confirmed in the least, just a dream wish of mine. Cecil versus Frionel, Kain versus Richard, Mario versus Rosa… what a fight that could be.
DQ Swords, can’t wait, great and detailed Toriyama char. design too.

Maybe Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War to be honest. Of course that depends whether or not the game will support infrastructure multi-player which I doubt but you never know.
