SQUARE ANNOUNCES 2 FINAL FANTASY XIII FOR PLAYSTATION 3

That’s right, Kotaku is reporting that Square will be releasing 2 Final Fantasy XIII games on the Playstation 3. The first title, Final Fantasy XIII appears to take place in a more technologically advanced world than some of the other titles and apparently stars a heroine who looks a bit like Yuna from FFX. Not much information was available on the second title, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, which I’m just guessing is going to be some type of online combat game based on FFXIII. (That’s pure speculation on my part by the way)

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children to release today

Well, this is one of the initial tests of the comment system for the site, so feel free to register and discuss Advent Children here. A few words before we start…

1.) Be respectful to your fellow posters – I have no problem beating the ban button like a bongo drum.
2.) If you’re going to post a major spoiler, please indicate so. Don’t make me come find you.
3.) If you’ve got something to say, say it – and back it up with well thought comments. Posts like “FF7 roxxors cuz square is the best and xbox sux – lol Advent Children FTW” doesn’t tell us much except that you’re stupid. Don’t be that kid.
—————————————–

Anyway, I’ll be honest and say that I’ve managed to keep most of Advent Children off of my radar, so beyond knowing that somehow Sephiroth is back and that most of the characters from FF7 are involved, I don’t know all that much about the story of AC.

FINAL FANTASY VII: ADVENT CHILDREN DVD IN STORES TODAY

I wasn’t the world’s biggest Final Fantasy VII fan by a long shot, but I did play, finish and enjoy the game. I’m pretty curious to see where the story picks up and where it takes the characters as I’ve put blinders on to the whole thing so as not to ruin any surprises before I see it. I’m also interested in seeing if Advent Children is as good as the people who have seen it say it is, or if they’ve just gone over to the fanboy/fangirl side of the force. Either way, it’s in stores today and hopefully I’ll get a chance to get my grubby mitts on it shortly.
