Game developer Square Enix Co. plans to drop the latest edition of its Final Fantasy game series in June, the first new installment in some seven years.
The long gap between games will be a record for the series, and seems to be due to factors such as development costs, which have been increasing each year.
First launched in 1987, Final Fantasy is characterized by its rich storyline, unique world design and vivid images that push the limits of computer graphics, as well as its gameplay enhancing music.
