Still More Surfing: Perler Beads!

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

Now I’m not the biggest hobbycrafter you’ll ever meet, but I have had a go with Perler beads (many, many years ago). The cylindrical beads have small holes in them which can be placed in a small spiked racks to hold the beads in place. By placing a sheet of wax paper over the assembled beads and melting the plastic with an iron, you can fuse the beads together to make a very sprite-like accessory!

The following video was uploaded by YouTube user beadithd with background music coming from the legendary Hyadain. Here we see Edgar Roni Figaro from Final Fantasy VI riding a chocobo with Wrexsoul sprite being assembled.

FFVI hits Game Archives April 20th

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

Via the official Square-Enix Members Twitter, Shinji Hashimoto announced today that the PlayStation version of Final Fantasy VI will be available for download April 20th on the Japanese PlayStation Network’s Game Archives. It follows the PS1 version of Final Fantasy V, which has already been announced overseas in Europe. Both titles were formerly part of a compilation known as Final Fantasy Anthology, in which the two were ported to the PS1 with an additional music bonus disc. It may be likely that Square-Enix Europe will announce a localization of FFVI PS1, and hopefully a North American announcement for the two titles will follow.

Update: Video footage of the game on PSP. (Video 1, Video 2)

Europe’s Virtual Console welcomes FFVI

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

The date is set. Final Fantasy VI (the SNES version named Final Fantasy III) will be available on the European Virtual Console (Wii) on Friday, March 18th for approximately 900 Wii funbucks. The game is compatible with both the Wii Remote and the Gamecube controller. Originally released in 1994, Square localized Final Fantasy VI to America as Final Fantasy III, being that Final Fantasy II, III, and V had not been localized. Square felt that keeping the original numbers would confuse consumers abroad, so it was renamed. However, this version of Final Fantasy VI was never localized to Europe until today.
