Final Fantasy is one of the most recognizable games within the RPG genre with offerings spanning over 2 decades and countless consoles. The most recently released game is Final Fantasy XIII which was met with generally positive reception. In fact, it seems that the reception was positive enough that Square Enix will be going on to release Final Fantasy XIII-2, a direct continuation of the game as they did with Final Fantasy X.
While this has yet to be confirmed, we just got word of a leaked trailer (included above) alongside a screen shot and title card (included below). No word on when this game will hit store shelves but as always we’ll keep you posted.
While the Xbox 360 has sold a lot more than the PS3, one game’s PS3 version is outselling the Xbox 360′s version by 2 and that is Final Fantasy XIII. If you’re wondering the specifics, the PS3 version sold 828,000 copies while the Xbox 360 version sold 493,000.
A contributing reason to these statistics is probably the fact that the Xbox 360 version comes on 3 DVDs while the PS3 version comes on just 1 Blu-ray disc.
When is that Xbox 360 Blu-ray add-on coming, again?
Square Enix has come forth today to let us know that the latest Final Fantasy game, Final Fantasy XIII, has become the fastest telling game in the franchise. They go on to support this notion by saying that the game has sold over 1 million units in North America in just 5 days on the market.
Add this to the sure to be astronomical sales numbers in Japan and Europe and Square Enix may actually be telling the truth.
Final Fantasy XIII has just made its way onto shelves but only for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. If you’re looking to take the game in your pocket say, on an iPhone, you’re out of luck. However, Square Enix does have a FFXIII iPhone app for you but it’s not what you think, instead it’s a high resolution photo grallery.
Entitled the Final Fantasy XIII Larger-Than-Life Gallery the $8.99 app will give ou a bunch of exclusive images from Final Fantasy XIII. In addition to that it’s got an FFXIII branded clock and calculator. Sounds cool, I guess, but $8.99? No way.
The announcement that the latest Final Fantasy would not be exclusive to the PS3 had Sony fanboys everywhere disappointed. However, those with Sony’s precious console won’t be getting completely shafted as as the Final Fantasy XIII launch party, Son’y Rob Dyer took center stage to announce some exclusive content for the PS3 version.
This content is both a secret in-game item for the forthcoming Final Fantasy XIV and a chance at a key for the FFXIV beta. Just a chance? Come on Sony, you can do better than that.
Not a fan of RPGs? Think that the latest Final Fantasy title wouldn’t even scratch the sales numbers of games like Modern Warfare 2? Well then, read on –
It seems that Square Enix’s latest title, Final Fantasy XIII, managed to sell a full 1,000,000 copies on its first day on store shelves.
According to ThatVideoGameBlog, this means that approximately one in ever 4 PS3s in Japan now has a copy of FFXIII. Crazy? Yes.
Square Enix has today uploaded the official box art for Final Fantasy XIII to their e-store which we have pictured for you above. Of course, it’s pretty small and ridiculously un entertaining but it is the official box art and that means something, right?
It’s expected that the North American box art will look the same as the above one is for the Japanese market but we won’t know until FFXIII actually makes its way onto store shelves for the Xbox 360 and PS3 sometime in 2010.
