It seems that Microsoft has all the answers. I knew this was coming. But I didn’t think they would beat Sony to the punch. A game that really shouldn’t even be running on the Xbox now has it’s own bundle. Well for all of you who have been waiting for that one good reason to buy an Xbox 360. Here it is. One of the greatest games to appear on both consoles this year. It will come nicely decorated with a decal on the hard drive, which happens to be 250gb. And an awesome face plate. All yours for $399. Lands in stores March 9th.

This is exactly what I’ve been saying in the last two articles. Now Square Enix is being bias as regions go. They are saying that this collection is worth $100 in U.S dollars. But as always it seems. As of right now only Europe will be getting this lovely Collectors Edition. Let me show you what is inside of maybe the most anticipated RPG of this generation.

Obviously the game itself

That is well worth the money don’t you think. Let us hope Square Enix likes us over here in America. And will bless us with our own Collectors Edition.

Everyone that is waiting foe this game should know that the only reason I’m posting this is because of the emotion that is given off from watching this. Someone once said that playing video games is an emotional commitment for just a few hours. And we judge a game on how it makes us feel. Well just looking at the trailer for FF XIII makes me want to cry with joy. You’ll see what I mean. Oh, and the Theme song is pure fire.

It seems that the Final Fantasy fever is quite contagious. Over in Hong Kong they have HD TV’s with models dressed as the female leads of the game. Is this game really worth all this excitement?! Yes I think it just may be. And I know everyone can’t wait to see how we over here in the U.S will react in March when the game releases here. Although It is VERY NICE on Hong Kong.

The guy that helped bring us Final Fantasy XIII, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep and is also working on Final Fantasy Versus XIII and FF Agito.  It seems that he is showing no signs for slowing down .

In the most recent issue of Famitsu, Nomura reveals that he is working on two unannounced titles. He gives some updates, saying that they are working to bring up the quality so that the difference between real time and pre-renders in the upcoming Final Fantasy Versus XIII is seamless. He also says that development for Agito is going favorably.

“There is a still yet unannounced title that I am working on sooner than thought,” he says. Voice recording for this title has begun.

“It’s not a brand new title, but there is one more unannounced title.”

To tell you the truth. This really can be only one title. Sure it’s not brand new. And he’s working on it sooner than he thought. I don’t want to just guess what that game may be but I think everyone that has ever played a Final Fantasy game is thinking the same thing.

Could he be really speaking about the Remake of Final Fantasy VII. Well only time can tell. But I’m optimistic. Wow, I just thought about that……..is he working on a new Tomb Raider?! I hope not.

Notice that Tetsya is the character designer for this spiky haired hero. NUFF’ SAID

With all the hype in the video game world it’s nice to see that we can come back down to earth now and again. This week the PlayStation store is bringing Final Fantasy VIII to us. I don’t know about anyone else but I really enjoyed this game. Although I won’t be downloading it just yet. I still have my original game. When I can sell it, then I’ll download the digital version. For everyone else grab it. It’s worth it.

Square Enix is milking this 13th of every month thing. Not only are they just giving us information in small increments. It has almost no worth to it. This month  the Special Edition of FF XIII was announce for Europe. We can only assume that also means for the U.S. But we’ll probably end up waiting until January 13 to find that out. And we can hope at that time they’ll reveal the exact contents of the Special Edtion. Also there is now an Official Twitter and Facebook page for FF XIII.

With three months until the U.S release Square Enix is laying the smack down on the latest from FF XIII. All of these pics are taken directly from the in actually game itself. No CG. This beauty is set to out do Uncharted in it’s graphical performance. And that is saying something. For all of those out there that can read Japanese and can’t wait for the U.S  release you can buy Final Fantasy XIII for near $100 on various Asian websites. For the rest of us we’ll have to take these pics for now. And also the 13th of December is coming fast. All new Final Fantasy info is supposed to be released.

Finally the last summon to be spot lighted. Aside from being another cool looking Mech type Summon there is no information for what this thing is. Does it really matter? It seems to be quite stunning, so who really cares. Vanille rides it just like the others and it’s transformed state is packing some rediculous fire power.
