Buy the book at the Focal Bookstore Vintage Games Bill Loguidice and Matt Barton ISBN 978-0-240-81146-8 7 FINAL FANTASY VII (1997): IT’S NEVER FINAL IN THE WORLD OF FANTASY For countless gamers in the United States and Japan, the Final Fantasy series are more than just games—they’re the games. Just hearing the word “Chocobo” or “Moogle”1 is enough to tickle the thumbs of dedicated fans all over the world. Indeed, few video- game franchises in the history of the industry have enjoyed the popularity, longevity, and high acclaim of Hironobu Sakaguchi’s epic series. The fi rst Final Fantasy , developed during a fi nancial crisis at Square, not only rescued the company but soon became Final Fantasy VII offered an immense area to explore, including populated towns where players could buy equipment, talk to the locals, and advance the plot. The red triangles indicate possible exits, and the white glove makes it easier to spot the main character. 1 Not to be confused with J. K.

  • Final Fantasy X – the Jump (Version 0.12)
    Final Fantasy X – the Jump (version 0.12) Prototype Version. & a shoutout to Lycoris for setting foundations in place. Scream at Dirge if changes are needed or there are questions. “Listen to my story. This…may be our last chance.” Traveler, first and foremost, welcome to Spira. Spira, a world locked in a cycle of death and rebirth. On the surface, Spira is calm as its denizens go about daily life without interruption, living in small peaceful villages scattered over the main continent. Underneath the veneer of tranquility, relics from Spira’s turbulent past are still crawling about, making its future an uncertainty. In this world there are the Ronso, beast people of the North. The Guado, the protectors of the afterlife. The Al Bhed, masters of machines since ancient times. Of course, there are also your day to day Spiran humans. They live in harmony…or so it seems. Traveler, the world may seem calm, but do not mistake stagnation for tranquility. For in this world, a great beast stirs – its name is Sin, and it is out to complete a singular mission programmed into its existence: The reduction of civilization to a primitive state. Without the removal of Sin, the people of Spira will never grow, will never advance. Know this, Traveler, Sin perpetuates stagnation. When Sin deems it fitting, it will destroy Spira, and you along with it. You will have the total time of ten years in this world. Though survival alone would already equal success, Sin will not wait idly by for ten years for you to enjoy the peace.

The hallmark of localization is that it deals with the content in electronic form, requiring special engineering processes. Localization takes an adaptive approach to converting the source content to gain a look and feel that are indistinguishable from the equivalent local products (Fry, 2003).

  • Square Enix Unveils the Next Generation of Final Fantasy Fabula

(Tokyo, Japan, Square Enix), a leading developer and publisher of interactive entertainment software and services, revealed world-premiere footage of FABULA NOVA CRYSTALLISTM - FINAL FANTASY® XIII. This latest project in the multi- platinum FINAL FANTASY series will encompass the simultaneous development of original titles for numerous platforms including the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, and mobile phones.

  • Exploring Ivalice Through Music: an Examination of Music, Landscape, and Classical Etymology in Final Fantasy XII Marina Gallagh
    Exploring Ivalice Through Music: An Examination of Music, Landscape, and Classical Etymology in Final Fantasy XII Marina Gallagher Music 381 Dr. Gray August 2014 2 Music in video games forges such a strong connection between players and fictional worlds that gamers are willing to purchase official soundtracks and visit concerts dedicated solely to game music, such as Video Games Live and Distant Worlds: The Music of Final Fantasy. Throughout video game history, the role of music in games has grown to such an extent that soundtracks written for symphony orchestra (rather than a single keyboard) are seamlessly integrated with characters and on-screen graphics.1 As Simon Wood notes, “the connection between game music and music for film…[is] a constant trope” for gamers and composers alike; however, this connection is not unfounded, as films and video games both rely on “audience members”/gamers to enter a fictional world, or diegesis.2 Karen Collins notes that music “plays a significant role in the immersive quality of a game” and that, if the music is interrupted or absent, gamers do not feel as physically present within the game world.3 Although she also mentions the contention amongst scholars regarding immersion in video games,4 it would seem that video game music plays a key role in making various areas come alive for gamers. Collins suggests that “symbols and leitmotifs are often used to assist the player in identifying…environments”,5 though orchestration can also assist in creating a sense of a particular place, such as the serene countryside. This paper seeks to examine the connection between the soundtrack of role-playing game Final Fantasy XII and in-game landscapes to identify the ways in which the score suggests divergent landscapes by drawing on earlier techniques in classical and film music traditions.
