Written by Brandon Hofer on January 31, 2017

News: Square Enix has just held in an event where they discuss some of the things they will be doing for the 30th anniversary of Final Fantasy.

Square Enix kicked off the 30th anniversary of Final Fantasy today with a number of different announcements and updates to existing projects. Among the items talked about today is the Final Fantasy VII Remake, Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age, Final Fantasy XV DLC and a couple of mobile Final Fantasy titles. Unfortunately there was no mention of the rumored Final Fantasy Anniversary package that was leaked last year, which would contain Final Fantasy 1-9 for the PS4. Hopefully that rumor comes to fruition later this year but until then, here is what Square Enix had to say today:

Final Fantasy VII Remake

No release date was given sadly but they did release a piece of new key art, depicting the game’s protagonist and mercenary Cloud. The picture also showed off his iconic Buster Sword set to the background of Midgar, base of the Shinra Electric Power Company.

Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age

If you have been waiting for Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age to arrive on PS4 then you are in luck as you will be able to play it this summer. Square Enix revealed it will be released on the PlayStation 4 on July 11, 2017. The visual and audio remaster of Final Fantasy XII will feature a job character progression system for the first time in the West. New key art from famed character designer and artist Akihiko Yoshida was also revealed, featuring the main cast of the game including Ashe, Balthier, Fran and Vaan.

Final Fantasy XV: Episode Gladio DLC

The first sneak peek at some of the upcoming DLC for FINAL FANTASY XV was showcased on-stage, highlighting the brand-new perspective players will experience in the coming months. The Final Fantasy XV Booster Pack (Free Version) and Final Fantasy XV Booster Pack + are scheduled for release on February 21, and will be available for all players or Season Pass holders, respectively. The DLC content will include powerful items such as the invincible outfit, “Magitek Exosuit” that give players an advantage during battles.

Final Fantasy XV Episode Gladiolus releases on March 28, and will be available to players who purchased the Premium Edition or Season Pass and can also be purchased separately via the Xbox Marketplace or the PlayStation Store. Through this DLC, players can enjoy an episode depicted from Gladio’s perspective. Gilgamesh, one of the franchise’s fan-favorite characters will also be making an appearance in the episode.

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, the full-scale Final Fantasy adventure for mobile devices that has achieved over 20 million downloads worldwide, recently began an in-game collaboration event with internationally renowned artist and actress Ariana Grande. All players will be able to acquire “Dangerous Ariana,” the Ariana Grande-inspired character exclusively designed for the game until February 2 by completing the first stage of the special in-game event, "Dangerous Woman Tour."

Mobius Final Fantasy

Mobius Final Fantasy, the critically acclaimed mobile RPG adventure, will be making its way to Steam next month on February 6. The title offers an all-new RPG adventure featuring a deep story, stunning visuals, in-depth character customization and a refined turn-based RPG battle system. To celebrate over 10 million registered users worldwide and the 20th anniversary of Final Fantasy VII, various in-game bonuses and a special Final Fantasy VII Remake collaboration event will begin on February 7 for a limited time.
