Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 gets a trailer

I’m a pretty huge fan of the Dragon Quest series, and have actually played the crap out of, and beaten Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker on the DS and loved the hell out of it.

So here’s a trailer for the second game in the series, which will be coming to the DS. I couldn’t decipher much except that it will pretty much be the same thing as the first, just with a different story (REALLY big shocker there). Oh, and the main character kind of looks like Goku from Dragon Ball.

Final Fantasy IX to find a home on the PSN?

The PSN has already been graced with that of Final Fantasy VII, and VIII, but what about IX? Well it looks like Twitter is once again almost-confirming the existence of Final Fantasy IX coming to the PSN via Square Enix Producer Shinji Hashimoto.

Andria Sang took it upon herself to translate one of his latest tweets after asking people on their opinions about the game, and it looks like some news will be coming soon.

“Thanks to everyone for your opinions on FF9. Regarding an FF9 download release, everyone is so passionate about it that I’ll be proposing it at the next board meeting. Look forward to next week!”

I’m thinking some sort of “official” announcement on the existence of the game, or maybe a release date, but I don’t see it coming anytime super soon, so don’t get your hopes up.

Final Fantasy XIII Fastest selling title in the franchise history in the UK

Yup, Square Enix has announced that their latest installment in the series, Final Fantasy XIII, is the fastest selling title in the franchise history in the UK. The game has already shipped more than 5 million units, and is topping UK charts and rockin’ the reviews (actually that’s not so good).

Either way, they’re pretty stoked about it. We’re pretty indifferent seeing as how it’s…yeah, is what it is.

Final Fantasy XIII is on the bottom of Ray Muzyka’s “to-play” list

I’m going to go out and say that I don’t own nor have I even touched Final Fantasy XIII yet. I’m a huge RPG fan and a big fan of the series, but just because of my lack of time and moolah, I can’t afford to get it. It’s also…not something that I’m really looking forward to. Just from reviews and what people have personally told me, well I’ve just lost a lot of excitement.

It looks like Ray Muzyka, one of the head honcho’s over at BioWare is pretty not-so-interested in the game as well, expressing this in a Game Informer interview.

“I’ve been reading some reviews on that one. That may be on the bottom of my list right now”

“It’s kind of a question mark. It would have been right up there before I read about it, but some of this other stuff is probably more pressing.”

I can totally see where he’s coming from on it. Although it will be really interesting to see what he has to say once he’s got around to playing the game (although I’m not sure that he has that many pressing things to do).

Final Fantasy I and II come out on the iPhone today

Actually a pretty hotly anticipated game, Final Fantasy I and II have been released for the iPhone and iPod Touch for $8.99 each. Above we’ve got the launch video for the game as well as some screenshots below. I’d be sure to check the game out, it sounds like the controls really work well with the system and I mean you can’t really beat two of the best retro RPG’s ever.

Just remember guys, the password is “Wild Rose”. Remember it well.
