Final Fantasy XIV closed beta goes live March 11
If you’re anything like us (or our partners over at Massively), you were hurriedly clicking refresh on the official VanaFest 2010 website for news about the now eight-year-old Final Fantasy XI MMO last night. If you were, then you might’ve caught the momentary mention that the first wave of (closed) beta testing for the next Final Fantasy MMO (that’s number 14, for those of you playing along at home) will be going live on March 11.
Square also assuaged fears of missing out on the closed beta by saying that “Those who were not selected in this drawing, fear not, for there will be other opportunities to come,” adding that interested parties should “Be sure to stay tuned!” We figure if we’re not invited, you know, all the more time to play that other Final Fantasy release, right?

Kitase: Final Fantasy VII remake ‘unrealistic,’ would take too long to develop
Final Fantasy XIII producer Yoshinori Kitase recently gave what appears to be the final word on the possibility of a FFVII remake during an interview with TechDigest. “If we were to recreate Final Fantasy VII with the same level of graphical detail as you see in Final Fantasy XIII, we’d imagine that that would take as much as three or four times longer than the three and a half years it has taken to put this Final Fantasy together,” Kitase explained, “so it’s looking pretty unrealistic!”
Ultimately, the chances of a remade FFVII getting developed are slim, but not non-existent. “If it were possible that we had all the right facilities and the right environment to be able to make and prepare a Final Fantasy VII remake within a year, we’d very much like a go at it,” Kitase said. So, there you have it. If you want to see Cloud Strife in HD, all you have to do is recruit and bankroll a gargantuan Square Enix development team. Piece of cake!

Final Fantasy XIII UK launch event rewarding cosplayers
Square Enix, apparently, is all about the cosplay. Just today, the publisher announced that it’ll be rewarding the first 50 people dressed in “Final Fantasy costumes” who arrive at the March 9 launch event for Final Fantasy XIII with a free copy of the game’s soundtrack. Oh, and also, Square Enix producer Yoshinori Kitase and art director Isamu Kamikokuryo will be there, signing whatever you want.
The release further entices attendees with “high-profile DJ and TV presenter Alex Zane,” who’ll no doubt be spitting hot fire into a mic all evening. The event kicks off at 5:30PM at the Oxford Street HMV in London and runs until the sun comes up — or 7:30PM, whichever comes first.
