News

RPGamer has posted 30 new screenies of FFX-2 Including a couple of lovely
ones showing Yuna as... you guessed it : A Pop Idol singer.

Screen Shots... HO!!

Oh Right... Completely forgot to introduce myself.
News Poster CypherEX! Hi All Great to be here,
and I should be posting LOTS of news.

To fill out the news staff, we're adding two new members to the CoN staff as of right... now. No... wait for it... now.

Coming into the site as new news editors are Super Saiya-Jin Cloud and CypherEX. SSJC is a forum regular and a chat constant, and inextricably linked to our own CoNArtist, Hikaroo. CypherEX has extensive experience with web sites and is the lucky bastard engaged to be married to our Elena99.

In any event, both of these gents will be available to start posting gaming news as of this moment, and we'll all look for good things to come from them. Thanks, guys!

Corda just brought to us a little bit of fun new media from Fierce Legends' upcoming FF VI: Forgtten Story game. This stuff is so new, that his own site doesn't even have it up yet.

This is an MP3 being used in the group's first Flash promotional video, out soon.

fffsintro.mp3 (just under one MB)

We've also got an unfinished MIDI piece that will be used in the actual game. Corda says it will be used "when two of the main characters are debating the power and temptation magic can offer."

themeofmagic1.mid (about 2 kb)

Corda suggests that you all try to find the throwbacks to the original FF6 musical score in these pieces.

Finally, a proviso: CoN's forte is not hosting music. If the file is broken for you, kindly let us know so we can host it elsewhere.

Square recently unveiled another character in the upcoming sequel to their PS2 hit.  The character is "Nuji" who leads a group whose primary purpose is to go against the teachings of Yevon.  He looks a bit similar to Auron from FFX, but according to Magic Box and Square, Nuji is warm-hearted.  So so much for an Auron clone.  Just imagine Auron with weird, long blonde hair and you've got Nuji.  Link courtesy Magic Box.

In other FFX-2 news, according to R51, Christina Aguilera is now set to star in it.

I just finished adding, probably at the cost of my job (^_^), eleven new pieces of fanart. They are all from FF4, covering the following sections. I've bolded the ones that create brand-new fanart sections.

Screenshots from the Playstation port of FF1 and FF2 are now available from Square, and boy do they look good.  I was skeptical about the games with only hearing about the games, but now that images showing amazing CGI and a complete revamp in graphics and even a bit of storyline are here, I've changed my mind and wouldn't mind playing through these games at all.  Anyone that was unsure of the game should definitely check these out and see if they change your opinion, and anyone that wanted to get the games the moment they heard about them will only want to get them more.
