Trading card/arcade game hybrid Lord of Vermillion features fierce beasts from many varied lore but also features many iconic characters from a breadth of franchises. Final Fantasy IX’s Kuja becomes the newest Final Fantasy representative and first IX character to be included in Lord of Vermillion Re:2. Some of the other characters to be featured in the original game are the main cast of Final Fantasy IV, Kefka from Final Fantasy VI, Eald’narche and Kam’lanaut from Final Fantasy XI, and Y’shtola from Final Fantasy XIV.

Kuja cameos in Lord of Vermillion Re:2
Thursday, May 5th, 2011Sakaguchi posts old FFIX dev notes
Sunday, November 28th, 2010If you thought that Hironobu Sakaguchi was done with games after his departure from Squaresoft, you’d be dead wrong. Since then, Final Fantasy’s founder has gone on to spearhead a new studio named Mistwalker that has produced many quality RPGs. If you’ve ever had a chance to play Lost Odyssey for example, you know that Sakaguchi still has a lot of Final Fantasy left in him. Preceding the upcoming The Last Story for Wii, Sakaguchi posted some notes he had on his official blog. In a nutshell, they appear to be notes involving the opening cutscene of Final Fantasy IX and his ideas about it’s structure, events, and so on. It’s actually a bit different than the final version, and I’d encourage you to read through, especially if you’d like some insight into his development style.
