Square Enix has recently launched a global portal website for the Final Fantasy series called Final Fantasy Portal Site. On the website you can find the latest news and videos of the Final Fantasy series.
You can access Final Fantasy Portal Site via the domain www.finalfantasy.com. This domain has a long history. In 1999 it hosted the website of Square USA Inc., a subsidiary of Square Co., a company focused on computer generated, animated feature film. In 2001 they released Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. finalfantasy.com was the official website of the movie. After a few years nothing was left of that website and they redirected it to the official website of Square Enix. You can check if out for yourself on the Wayback Machine.

Without any announcement Square Enix has released Chrono Trigger on Steam. You can get this classic, that was released back in 1995 for the Super Nintendo, for € 14,99 / $ 14,99.
Untill 2 April you can the limited edition which will include the following bonus features:
An enchanting and specially edited Chrono Trigger medley consisting of 5 songs: Far Off Promise, Wind Scene, Battle with Magus, Corridors of Time and Chrono Trigger.
Composer Yasunori Mitsuda’s digital liner notes.
A collection of 6 wallpapers for your PC.
However, this version is based on the mobile version of Chrono Trigger released back in 2011. And Square Enix changed almost nothing, resulting in a bad user interface and horrible font. So think wisely before you buy this version.
