Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be released next week in Japan on 15 Dec 2011. Meanwhile here’s the first CM promoting the game in Japan.

This is probably one of the first FF game in the franchise that I’m not particularly excited about its release. Hope Square Enix will do better with the upcoming games.

Here’s the cinematic opening for the upcoming Final Fantasy XIII-2 that will be released by Square Enix on 15 Dec 2011 in Japan and 31 Jan 2012 in USA.

Losta cool summon and fanciful jumps but still it doesn’t seem to excite me much ^^

Square Enix scored another impressive first week sales with its latest release of Final Fantasy Type-O for the PSP.

According to the Media Create sales chart, more than 470,000 copies were sold in the first week when the game was released on 27 Oct 2011.

According to Andriasang, the sales results were similar to other Square Enix previous releases where Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII sold around 470,000 and Dissidia Final Fantasy sold 500,000 within the first week.

So how many of you have already gotten the game? There’s a ton of games that are being release in Nov & Dec that I would love to play but I’m simply to tight up at the moment >_<

Square Enix wants to convince gamers that the upcoming Final Fantasy XIII-2 is a game that was excellently developed and thoroughly tested. Apart from recruiting AKB48 member Oshima Yuko as the official game tester, Square Enix has recruited twelve other interesting personalities to form their “Judge 13″ testing party.

The official website has been launched and it features an introduction of each game tester. The testers come from different walks of life, including cosplayers, mangaka, seiyuu and game critics, but they all have on thing in common – they love gaming and they love the Final Fantasy franchise.

Apparently each of the judges will be posting their test report on the site, so you might want to check from time to time to see how the project turns out.

This was unveiled in a short CM where Oshima receives a stack of name card and the FF XII-2 rom disc from Square Enix staff.

The game is confirmed for released in Japan on 15 Dec 2011, followed by North America on 31 Jan 2012 and 3 Feb 2012 for Europe.

As earlier mentioned, Final Fantasy Type-0 (Reishiki) FINAL FANTASY 零式 was renamed from Final Fantasy Agito XIII. It is scheduled for release in Japan this summer and will be released on 2 UMDs.

Based on the trailer, the storyline looks rather impressive and it seems like there are many different characters available to be recruited.

Personally, I’m looking more forward to this game than FFXIII-2.

To date, six new characters have been announced: Kain Highwind (FFIV), Tifa Lockhart (FFVII), Laguna Loire (FFVIII), Yuna (FFX & FFX-2), Vaan (FFXII) and Lightning (FFXIII). So how many of the Final Fantasy characters can you name inside the trailer?

I would love to have a kawaii cat-girl in my party when I battle the evil forces ^^

Square Enix has always been able to push out breathtaking CG so its definitely worth your time to watch the trailer. But I wonder if the game would prove just as exciting as watching the beautiful rendered CG.
