Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary event: all the announcements

Square Enix Japan just wrapped up a special 30th Anniversary Final Fantasy event. FF doesn’t turn 30 until December, but the company picked today, FFVII’s 20th anniversary, to set out some of their plans for this, a banner birthday year for FF.

We’ve covered some of the announcements elsewhere, but it only seemed right to round up the general announcements from the event under one banner. So – here’s what you need to know:

FFXV, FFVII Remake and FFXII HD News
