For Japanese Final Fantasy fans, the long wait is nearly over. And what better way to build hype and ease that pain of waiting with a trailer? A long content packed trailer filled with jaw dropping CG, action packed battle sequences and J-Pop drama scenes that will test your patience.
Normally, I’d post said trailer here for your your viewing pleasure, but I think you should head over to the source. The official Japanese Final Fantasy XIII website is something to behold in itself. It’s by far the slickest Flash based “official” websites I’ve seen to date. Most official game and movie websites are bloated and take ages to load for nothing more than gimmicks. But this! This is both functional and pretty.
So the Japanese folks will get the game this December 17th while the rest of the world will have to wait until Spring 2010. I’m really looking forward to this. It just may be one of those games which I would pre-order the Limited Edition for. I’m that psyched for it.

Something happened to QSF5.com on Friday. It wasn’t the usual server outage. Something happened over at the Bluehost servers which required restoration from backup. While a majority of the site was restored, it didn’t come away unscathed. A handful of pictures and modifications which were made on Thursday did not make it over to the resurrected website.
That had me thinking about backup and restore situations for my own things.

Update: Looks like it was a typo. Thanks Manuel.
There I was, downloading a copy of the newly released remix track from Bizarre Creation’s website, when I decided to check out what else Mr. Chris Chudley worked on.
Through his site, Audio Antics, I noticed that he worked on all the Geometry Wars releases, the recent Project Gotham releases and The Club. While checking out the Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 entry, I noticed a tiny nugget.

Is this a typo? Or does this mean the sequel will be joining its predecessor on Steam?
Bizarre Creations PR was contacted for comments.
The Fabula Nova Crystallis umbrella of games include Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, X360), Final Fantasy Versus XIII (PS3) and Final Fantasy Agito XIII (PSP). We still don’t have any official dates as of yet, but we do get a pretty site with some new screenshots and music samples! It’s in Japanese, but if you know how to navigate menus and click on stuff, you’ll be fine.
Oh so very pretty.
