Leona Lewis (Paid to Say She) Loves Final Fantasy XIII

leona lewis playing final fantasy xiii on xbox 360

…at least the part of the game where she says she “runs around the land all day”. I’m no marketing expert, but I just personally find it weird for Square Enix to use 24-year old British singer Leona Lewis to promote Final Fantasy XIII…. Perhaps this is their

Final Fantasy XIII logo

As we previously mentioned, a Final Fantasy XIII touring bus patrolled around some areas of the United States, allowing people to test both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the upcoming Square Enix RPG. An article at Sankaku Complex says that the publicity stunt generated both good and bad…

Final Fantasy Xiii Party Bus Hits the Mean Streets of San Francisco

final fantasy party bus

Great, just what I needed – another… reason to be jealous of the 1UP crew. It’s bad enough I don’t work for them, and that I don’t live in San Francisco. Now they’re being visited by something better than the tooth fairy, Easter bunny, and Santa Claus combined – the

This insane collectible out of Japan is truly for you die-hard Final Fantasy fanatics out there.

Daddy Issues: Nier Set for Spring

nier gestalt square enix xbox ps3

One world, one virus, one story, two different games. Nier, the product of Square Enix and Cavina, is getting a Western release… or at least half of it is. In Japan, Nier is two games: Gestalt and Replicant…. Same story, different protagonists, and different platforms to boot. Looks

Gyromancer Puzzle Rpg is Here to Steal Your Days Away

gyromancer square enix popcap

Move over, Puzzle Quest. You had a good run with the whole jewel-matching RPG hybrid, but the big boys have come to steal your throne… and rock our faces off. Gyromancer may be a little late (the Puzzle Quest… folks already moved on to sci-fi), but it really doesn’t

Horsey-Version of ‘Odin’ Summon Shows Up at Japanese Toy Show

Odin/Sleipnir Prototype

Someone over at Square Enix must be a fan of Transformers. I say this because for some reason, all Final Fantasy’s classic “summons” now have alternate vehicle modes in Final Fantasy XIII. For example, Shiva is now summoned as two… ladies who combine to form some sort of lesbian

e3 final fantasy xiii promo

While this story would automatically be ten billion times more awesome if giant Final Fantasy… characters (in the flesh) took over LA using Bahamut and the combined power of zippers and hair gel, I’ve gotta say that the big posters are pretty cool in their own right.

The gaming industry’s

Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers Wii Game Trailer, Now With Helpful Subtitles

final fantasy crystal chronicles crystal bearers square enix nintendo wii

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles… is certainly already among the best visual achievements we’ve seen with the Nintendo Wii, but the storyline and gameplay have been kept largely under wraps. We know a few key things: it’s pretty, there’s flying (lots of flying), and telekinetic powers are important. Otherwise, we expect
