Square-Enix sent an e-mail over with their line up, which confirms a March 25 release date for Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. Predating Zack’s story is a Nintendo DS adventure with fuzzball moogles and before that gamers get to slash slimes with the Wii remote.
After delving into familiar franchises Square-Enix is introducing a new one The World Ends With You (aka Subarashiki Kono Sekai). Out of the four, I’m most curious to see how Square-Enix is going to localize and promote The World Ends With You. Wouldn’t it be interesting if The World Ends With You sold better in North America than Japan where the game is based?
Here is a Cliff Notes style of what Square-Enix has planned for early 2008:
Dragon Quest Swords – Feb. 26 (*)
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates – March 11 (*)
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII – March 25
The World Ends With You – Spring 2008
The *s indicate Square-Enix has confirmed addition content for North America will appear in this game.
