Story:

"You wake up in a strange world, having lost all your memories.
Not knowing where you came from or where to go, you walk.
A mysterious voice calls out to you:
This is the land without hope, Palamitia.
Looking downward, the light of hope shines not."

Note that the English website does not mention it being planned for 2015 unlike the Japanese one.

HeelPower · Dec 18, 2014

Wished there would be other platforms listed but alas.

Really hope this comes to all sorts of platforms.The same way indie and smaller scale games do.

Love Kitase.

Squire · Dec 18, 2014

This is probably the big (original) FF release for 2015 in Japan, with XV planned for 2016.

neptunes · Dec 18, 2014

No screens?

Stark · Dec 18, 2014

Awesome. I really hope the English release is 2015, too.

Quite hyped for this now.

Hope to learn of more staff. Looks like Kitase in general is leading the project, too, which is exciting.

Yeah. I can see that being the case. I don't mind, personally!

Mobius and pet octopus · Dec 18, 2014

I'm interested, just not getting my hopes up too much til we get an idea about what kind of gameplay it'll have.

So is this like XV alpha?

Gamerloid · Dec 18, 2014

Well, they have my curiosity. Now let's see if they can capture my attention.

Melvius Final Fantasy: Revengance?

pixlexic · Dec 18, 2014

I hope they do it right and give it gamepad support and a tv ratio for HDMI out.

Come on square be the first to do it right.

Sammy Samusu · Dec 18, 2014

Famitsu's cover story too.

Meh, I'm "excited", it looks better than your average Mobile games.

I hope this works on my Nexus 5 or Ipad 4 xD

Scrooge McDuck · Dec 18, 2014

That's a weird title. Looking at the infinity sign title art, did they spell moebius wrongly, perhaps? Or is "mevius" actually another term for it?

Japanese news sites.

Vita and 3DS at least would be nice.

If it's good.

Then they comment on each other's new projects. Kitase shows Mevius FF on an iPhone and Nexus 5. The interviewer is wowed by the graphics. Kitase explains that in the latest iOS8 they use a graphics API called Metal.

It will.

Triplicates · Dec 18, 2014

Thankfully that was not what I was expecting. Mevius is one of the major Japanese tobacco brands.

Doesn't really look like Square Enix's pre-rendered stuff to me.

texhnolyze · Dec 18, 2014

Another IPhone/Android game?
How about Agito? Last time I checked, they're preparing English version of Agito.

Goli · Dec 18, 2014

"Born of a line unending" seems to refer to the fact that Final Fantasy is endless, if the Japanese site is anything to go by: "FF's true blood/pedigree."

Also, the message from the Japanese website is slightly different, it says somehting like: The age of HD quality RPGs on the palm of our hands is almost here. Creators involved in the FF series are working 100% "seriously" to deliver that. Now, it begins.

　ここは希望いずる国、パラミティア。

Most likely. It's definitely not pre-rendered and that's probably what Famitsu was talking about.

Sounds like the staff will consist of talent from the older FF's.

Also, this seems to indicate to me it's a full priced title.

Zukuu · Dec 18, 2014

What has the gaming industry become. 10 years ago I'd have laughed if somebody told me Famitsu would run a cover story about some mobile game... by square nonetheless. :X

Hilarious google translation:

You woke up in a strange world has lost all memory. Where to come and start walking while not know where to do go. Lead Kimi "mystery voice" tells -

Here is hope Izuru countries, Paramitia. Light of hope to those who walk head down is not illuminated.

Sounds like Lost Odyssey to be honest.

What exactly looks bad about this? The visuals on a technical level seem great and it has some senior staff Final Fantasy veterans on board. I'm kinda excited actually.

Takao said:

Eehh, that looks ugly to me. I want to see more about the game, even though I will probably not play it.

Falk · Dec 18, 2014

You know, I've been thinking.

II US = FF4j
III US = FF6j

VI US should = FF12j

YES MEVIUS CONFIRMED FOR SECRETLY FFXII IZJS PORT (for US)

I know this is a recycled joke

PixyJunket · Dec 18, 2014

Port begging in the first post. Yeah, it's probably going to be "fun" following the news for this one on this forum.

Anyway, I'm still more excited for the new Final Fantasy Dimensions since it's 2D, but I could see getting pretty hyped for this too.

Somebody translated the interview with Sakaguchi and Kitase from the magazine in the previous thread:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=143742373&postcount=267

Goli · Dec 18, 2014

4gamer also has an introduction, which I believe was also in Famitsu:
"You wake up in a strange world, having lost all your memories.
Not knowing where you came from or where to go, you walk.
A mysterious voice calls out to you:
This is the land without hope, Palamitia.
Looking downward, the light of hope shines not."
Or something like that.

sn00zer · Dec 18, 2014

That is a really bad design.....especially coming off of 14 and 15

Falk · Dec 18, 2014

The design really feels like Amano art faithfully reproduced in 3D

Whether that's a good thing or bad thing, up to you.

This is my attempt. The "kibou izuru kuni" bit stumped me because I don't currently know what "izuru" means, so the "hopeless country" part is my best guess

EDIT: the "kibou izuru kuni" part has been clarified by extralite, and has been changed below:

You awaken in an unknown world having lost all your memories.
Where you came from, where you're going; without knowing these things, you walk.
Guiding you is a mysterious voice who says ――
This is the land from which hope originates, Paramitia.
The light of hope will not shine on you, who walk with downcast eyes.

Goli · Dec 18, 2014

Finally, according to the JP PR, the theme for the game is "what would happen if the FF development team made a smartphone RPG with all they've got?"

ctothej · Dec 18, 2014

Is Palamitia the Final Fantasy I world? In the initial announcement it sounded like this was a re-imagining of the first FF.

Also, if those are in game graphics... Holy shit.

Nah, the face mainly looks different...

I'd like to see the 2D art though.
