<p>Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be released next week in Japan on 15 Dec 2011. Meanwhile here&#8217;s the first CM promoting the game in Japan.</p>
<p>This is probably one of the first FF game in the franchise that I&#8217;m not particularly excited about its release. Hope Square Enix will do better with the upcoming games.</p>

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

<p>Source: <a href="http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20111102064/">4gamer.net</a></p>
<p>According to <a href="http://andriasang.com/comyum/">Andriasang</a>, 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.</p>
<p>So how many of you have already gotten the game? There&#8217;s a ton of games that are being release in Nov &amp; Dec that I would love to play but I&#8217;m simply to tight up at the moment &gt;_&lt;</p>

<p>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 <a title="AKB48 Oshima Yuko is Final Fantasy XIII-2 Official Test Player" href="http://www.alafista.com/2011/10/15/akb48-oshima-yuko-is-final-fantasy-xiii-2-official-test-player/">recruiting AKB48 member Oshima Yuko</a> as the official game tester, Square Enix has recruited twelve other interesting personalities to form their &#8220;Judge 13&#8243; testing party.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.ff13-2testplay.com/">official website</a> 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 &#8211; they love gaming and they love the Final Fantasy franchise.</p>
<p>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.</p>
