Final Fantasy XIII comes out on Tuesday, but Square Enix‘s review embargo must have lifted yesterday, since pretty much ever Web site ever has published their review. Not us, of course. That’s fine. I’ll just buy the game and play it quietly by myself next week. Be that as it may, let’s see what people are saying about it. → Read More
So this is odd. In reading up on Final Fantasy XIII, I decided to see how much it would cost to buy a PS3 and the game. The system is all but sold out all over the Internet! It’s backordered on Newegg, GameStop, and Best Buy (partially), and can be found on Amazon for quite the mark-up—there’s no way I’m paying $370 for the 120GB SKU. Did the Sony factory lose power or… → Read More
http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/cne_flash/production/eidothea/release/eidothea.swf GameSpot just published a video review of Final Fantasy XIII. It’s the first review of the localized version of the game (at least I think it is!), so I’m putting it up here. Let’s watch it. → Read More
Really, folks? Are you really going to complain about multi-disc games now? Of all the injustices in the world, of all the legitimate issues you can have with technology, you’re going to rally around this stupid issue? Good God. → Read More
March 9 is slowly creeping up on us, which means we’ll all be sitting on our coaches and playing Final Fantasy XIII until the wee hours of the morning. To keep us busy, Square just released a new trailer set to the game’s main theme, “My Hands,” performed by Leona Lewis. (At least I think that’s the main theme.) This trailer features the English voice cast, so put on your headphones and take… → Read More
Final Fantasy XIII will come out in North America on March 9, 2010 for both the PS3 and Xbox 360. So says the official e-mail we just received. You can’t see it, but there’s a smile on my face right now. → Read More
What’s the absolute best way to buttress the launch of the PS3 Slim? That would be to launch Final Fantasy XIII very, very shortly afterward. I’m pleased to say that that’s exactly what’s happening, at least as far as Japan is concerned. Yup, Square Enix just announced the release date of the game: December 17, 2009. For whatever reason the game will be a whopping ¥9,240, or around $100. → Read More
I swear, you could round up the kids from The Little Rascals, give them a PS3 development kit, and they’d be able to pump out Final Fantasy XIII faster than Square Enix. Why? Squeenix was asked, for the billionth time, “When are you guys gonna release Final Fantasy XIII”” To which the company’s president replied, “We’ll do our best!” That’s for the Japanese market, mind you; pretty sure… → Read More

Remember this demo? Japan’s Famitsu magazine reports that the upcoming Final Fantasy XIII demo will be upwards of two hours in length. A two-hour demo, people! Who has that kind of time nowadays? Well, I do, but I don’t have a PS3, nor do I have any intention to get one, so… The demo, remember, comes with Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete (on Blu-ray, ergo the demo will… → Read More
