World of Final Fantasy: Meli-Melo announced for iOS, Android
The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu reveals World of Final Fantasy: Meli-Melo for iOS and Android. It will launch in Japan in 2017.
Developed by Drecom, World of Final Fantasy: Meli-Melo is a casual-themed title different from the previous World of Final Fantasy. Players will be able to stack a maximum of six small characters on top of each other, or four medium characters, or two large characters. Co-op with other players is also supported.
Players will have a “Garden Dome” where they can befriend Mirages and go on an adventure in the other world of Valgallan. The original characters that appeared in the previous game will appear again in this game. The story is told in the form of a manga.
The game’s staff includes executive producer Shinji Hashimoto and director Hiroki Chiba, who directed the previous game.
Here are some choice quotes from the magazine:
“The previous game was a big hit that sold 800,000 copies and had the support of fans overseas.”
“There were plans for a smartphone release before the development of the previous game, but since it costs a lot to start from scratch on smartphones, we first made a solid game for console, and are making uses of those assets for smartphones.”
“The World of Final Fantasy series will continue to spread out in the future.”

Story
“Valgallan.” There is a world where legendary beings called Mirages and small people known as “Lilikins” coexist.
The earth, which is said to be “the source of all energy,” is divided into five magical powers—“fire,” “ice,” “forest,” “light,” and “dark”—and is protected by five “Mythical Beast Kings” who specialize in each power.
However, the “day of calamaity” will come…
During the ceremony celebrating one thousand years since the founding of the Baron, King Cecil was suddenly swallowed up by darkness and went missing.
And so the [Player] was summoned to Valgallan.
With their “Garden User” ability that enables them to befriend Mirages, the [Player] will go on an adventure to change the fate of destruction engulfing the world.
Systems
Train Your Very Own Monsters – You can train Mirages in the Garden, and they grow when you give them magical gems known as “Rise” that you can acquire when “Adventuring” and “Exploring.” Depending on their growth stats, you can train them as original monsters all your own in order learn various abilities.
Stacking Battles – Battles progress automatically. Take monster attributes and affinity into consideration in order to form the best possible party, and use abilities to gain victory. Through cooperative stacking techniques that connect your party, you can trigger various techniques, including powerful special moves that turn the tides of battle, depending on the combination of Mirages.
Mega Mirages and Champions – By stacking specific Mirages, you can trigger a “Mega Mirage Summon” where a giant Mirage unleashes a special move, as well as a “Champion Summon,” where a Final Fantasy series character is summoned to provide battle support.
Dome Challenge – By using the “Mirage Domes” acquired when “Adventuring,” you can play a simple battle where a maximum of four friends can participate at the same time. By clearing the battle, you can get exclusive Mirages and growth items.
Manga Scenarios – If you clear “The Land of Beginnings” area when “Adventuring,” the opening scenario manga will unlock, enabling you to read it from the “Garden.” Go on an adventure to save the world with the monsters of Final Fantasy!

在昨晚的直播活动中,Square Enix 宣布将于今日(11月22日)为PS4游戏《Final Fantasy XII: 黄道年代》推出1.04更新补丁,在补丁中将会加入该高清版中原本被删除掉的“空贼小屋”。
“空贼小屋”是在PS2原版《Final Fantasy XII》中的内容,玩家通过在游戏中达成某些特定的成就之后就能在小屋中得到对应的人物、怪物等,而在《Final Fantasy XII: 黄道年代》推出时被删除了这一内容。
除了空贼小屋之外,今天 Square Enix 还将在全服的 PlayStation Store 内免费推出一个本作的PS4主题,各位 Final Fantasy 粉丝们请记得前往领取喔。
Square Enix 还宣布《Final Fantasy XII: 黄道年代》将进行限时打折,日服下载版通常版售价从7344日元限时降至4999日元,限定版从11448日元限时降至7999日元。不过由于日服不包含中文,而且目前本作的光盘版也降至了比较低的价格,所以还是推荐各位购买中文光盘版。
最后官方公开了本作的最新宣传片“WORLD OF IVALICE”以及“100万销量纪念宣传片”。
Square Enix will release the version 1.04 update for Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age on November 22, which brings back the “Sky Pirate’s Den” feature originally cut from high-definition remaster.
Sky Pirates Den is a titles system featured in the original version of Final Fantasy XII. By playing the game and fulfilling certain conditions unknown to the player until they are actually fulfilled, sprites of various characters, monsters, and other objects from the game will move into the den, which can be accessed through the menu. For each sprite that appears in the den, the player is given a title and the condition for the sprite is revealed.
On the same day as the version 1.04 patch launches, Square Enix will release a free “Eruyt Village” PlayStation 4 theme via the PlayStation Store in Japan.
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is available now for PlayStation 4.
在日前一名自称在 Square Enix Business Division 1 负责开发《Final Fantasy VII Remake》游戏工作的内部人士爆料了相当多关于游戏的重磅情报,其中包括我们已知的游戏将分成三个章节发售,第一章的主线流程长达 50 小时左右,每一个章节的发售间隔为一年等等。如果爆料属实的话,那么此次的《Final Fantasy VII Remake》可以说是一部庞大难以想象的 3A 级作品。
