Final Fantasy: Fortress Images and Videos Paint a Beautiful Picture (via Crave Online)
Did you know Final Fantasy XII almost had a sequel? It’s true. The project was titled Final Fantasy: Fortress and was set after the events of Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. Sound perfect? It might have been, but we might not ever know.
A user on NeoGAF has compiled a long list of Final Fantasy: Fortress assets he’s encountered over the years. You might think he’s out of his mind for spending so much time digging up information for a dead game, but once you see it you might sympathize with him. What has been revealed is an open-world RPG that had the potential to be what Final Fantasy fans have been waiting for. In a nutshell, it looks glorious.

Final Fantasy 10’s story continues with an audio drama in its HD remaster (via Polygon)
Square-Enix released a preview video today giving viewers a sample of a 30-minute-long audio drama contained in the HD remaster of Final Fantasy 10 and Final Fantasy 10-2.
At about two and a half minutes, the preview is split into two sections. The first features a monologue from the first game’s protagonist Tidus, indicating that the audio drama will take place after the events of 10-2. The second is a dialogue between two new characters as they journey to a tournament, presumably for the in-game sport of blitzball.
