Yes, before you tell me, I am aware that I left out titles like Ehrgeiz and the Chocobo games, as well as the Kingdom Hearts series. If they're all THAT important to you, I can post every last one of them as well, but they're not really FF-related, despite the fact that they contain FF characters/references. I am also aware that I left out the FFVII Compilation titles. As most don't yet have release dates, I found no point to list them.

Wow, this only took a few minutes? thats a lot of info and thank you very much, this'll help a great deal for my college project....

Cheers

Actually, it took me about twenty, but I'm glad I could help. The more information we have here at TFF, the more useful we can be to our members. ^_^

[Rikkuffx]

Final Fantasy VI - SNES
JP: 02 April 1994
NA: 02 November 1994 (released as FFIII)
EU: no release

There was a release in Europe of VI, though it was the PS1 remake, does that matter? If it doesn't, it was released in 2002.

By the way, if anyone is wondering about the current release dates of upcoming FF games (as well as other Square Enix made games), this might help:

Is Advent Children going to be released in March for sure for the US? Are they going to change it again?

[Palazzo]

It's not certain, but that's what the current release date is. I wouldn't be surprised if it was delayed again though.

Dude, read the first post again. It's covered in the re-releases.

[Palazzo]

No it isn't. It was a standalone title. ie not Anthology.Anthology for us was IV and V. It doesn't really matter though I suppose...

[TomStrife]

Can`t wait for Advent Children.

Oh, see, I was unaware of this. Yes, believe it or not, there's something I didn't know about. Imagine that. Well, if you can help me find the precise date for it, I'll make some edits to that first post.

[Palazzo]

No need to be so sarcastic.

17th May 2002

[LocoColt04]

Haha, my apologies. Didn't mean to sound so sarcastic. I honestly didn't realize that IV and V made Anthologies in Europe, and that VI was a standalone title. Either way, looks like they were released on the same date. Some simple editing, and we're good to go.

[Ulteka Mako]

Do you know when Dirge of Cebruse is coming out in America? I would realy like to know. If you find out about it let me know.

Thank You..

[LocoColt04]

I'll add it to the list when official dates are announced. Until then, it's pointless to have it posted... sorta like it says right up there in the first post. ^_^;;

January 26, 2006 Japanese release for Final Fantasy VII DC, I have known for a couple weeks now.

March 16, 2006 2 million copies ship for Final Fantasy XII, so Square Enix reports. I've known the date for FFXII for a while too, SE just announced the 2 million copies recently.

If there are people who can't wait to see FFVII AC the Japiness ver is going throughout the states now. it has subtitles so u can know what the hell their sayin.

[materia_creator]

i downloaded FFVII:AC with Japanese subtitles and it was kind of difficult at first to watch until i kind've memorized them and put them together during the movie without looking down all the time. im glad you put out the release dates for north america. im going to be upset if the voices for the characters dont match as they should you know what i mean? i just hope they dont sound to gay

Unless they have changed it again FFXII has been pushed back to 8/1/2006. Release date in Japan is 3/16/2006.

[LocoColt04]

I'm not posting anything else in the start of this thread until the dates are official. If you want to debate release dates for any of the specific products, you should do so in their respective forums.
