I mean, wow. Something that I NEVER thought would occur evidently has. After being listed for five years on the Yahoo search directory, CoN has been elevated to the "most popular" category for Final Fantasy sites. You'll notice that we are in that listing with none other than FFOnline and the Compendium.

I am sure that this enhanced listing will help our traffic, and I thank every one of you who comes here via Yahoo for making this possible.

If you'd like to see the listing, simply search for Final Fantasy at Yahoo's main page, and click to the "Final Fantasy Series" directory, or you may visit the listing pages directly. Please do click the link to come back here, so we can maintain our status as popular. Thanks again!

The host screwed up this morning and changed opgaming.com's disk quota. Changed it so much we were over it. The stupid problem has now been fixed. Sorry for all the outages lately.

As of April 1st, the Square Enix merge has been completed.
No longer seperate companies, they have released their new website and logo.

Woo. The merger has finally been completed, and the new Square Enix has been revealed.

I really like the new logo. It's really simple, yet it stands out.
It's good to see Square & Enix getting a jump on the future and a face lift at the same time.

What are everyone else's opinons on the new logo and website?

In a startling move,  Microsoft announced early this morning that they had reached an agreement with Square-Enix stockholders concerning the purchase of the corporation.  The Square-Enix stockholders will get 0.45 of a share in Microsoft  for every Square Enix share that they own.  Originally it was believed that deal might not go through because Microsoft was originally only offering 0.30 of a share. Said Masufumi Miyamoto (the main shareholder of Square Enix), "We just thought we were getting a raw deal, Dog.  Big Billie Gates has plenty of bling.  If he really wanted our company then he would ante up. Word to your mother."  

While Square Enix have yet to release a game, they have announced their first title for the Xbox. Chrono Break!

Furthermore, every Final Fantasy after FFXII is going to be an Xbox exclusive.  The Square-Enix arm is rumored to be known within Microsoft as the Shirt or "Square Hides It's Real Motives." One can only guess what that means.  There is speculation that Square-Enix really let themselves be purchased in order to make a sequel to Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.  Or Shirt could also mean Square Enix is finally "clothing" the Xbox with some real software.

I don't even know what to say to this.   I'm quite literally shocked.  Sure, Microsoft bought my old favorite (that being Bungie), but I didn't see this one coming.  A Chrono series game on the Xbox?  Final Fanatsy an Xbox exclusive?  Even worse, a FF:TSW sequel?  Oi.  What next?  Nintendo buying Sega?  Give me your thoughts

You may have noticed some database errors recently.  Unfortunately, they've now got so bad that we've had to revert to an older style site.

This should clear it up somewhat.  If not, we may need to take more drastic measures.  We'll keep you posted.

We've opened the new section of CoN that will display game reviews that our loyal forumgoers write. What makes this different than the reviews you might see on other sites is that you know the author. You interact with him or her in chat, or on these forums.

By being able to identify the author of these reviews, you'll know which reviews are most likely to mesh with your own personal views. You'll know that if a person whose opinon you respect gives a game high marks, that you can probably trust it.

The reviews are available at http://www.cavesofnarshe.com/reviews/ . You can also connect with them from the menu of each game, or you can get a list of all reviews on the right-side navigation of every page outside the forums.

The forum contains directions on submitting a review for inclusion on the site, so read that if you are interested.
