While CoN turned 15 this week, the slightly bigger news for the year remains that the Final Fantasy series itself turns 25 this year. We discussed back in March the special website set up for the Japanese Squenix audience, but on Wednesday (again, the day after the massively more important news), the company released an English-language celebration site as well.

So far, there's not a lot of information on the English site; however, along with the launch of the overall site there is a teaser article advertising a pending series on the history of every numbered game in the series. There's no indication on when the individual game articles will be published, but no matter when that is, there should be some very interesting information contained therein.

Happy birthday again, Final Fantasy, and thanks.

Yeesh. It's almost as old as I am. It's had a great run, too. I think the reign of Final Fantasy is dying though. I feel like FF15 will be the last numbered FF game.

It's cool that this site was created on FF's ten-year anniversary. But now, CoN has developed into its own brand, offering a great source for game news and the most reliable forum you'll find. As for FF's 25th, I'd like to see them release some type of retrospective, like biographies or behind-the-scenes insights. They haven't offered much of that, at least for American fans, but I'd like to see that change.
