Final Fantasy XIII, Biatch!

Dayamm. Would you look at those graphics. Yup, the news came out two days ago. Microsoft dropped their megaton, announcing that Final Fantasy XIII is no longer a PS3 exclusive; it's coming to 360 as well! Yay. Sony should be worried now, considering such big titles as GTA and FF are being shared with Microsoft now, when they used to be exclusive to Sony. Oh well. They still have some pretty cool stuff like Little Big Planet and Resistance 2.

Anyway, back to FFXIII. All they've released is mostly pre-rendered footage and a little bit of real-time, but what's out there is stunning. The last Final Fantasy game I've played to any extent was FFVIII, and I do anticipate seeing how the series has progressed in the roughly ten years since VIII was released. The main character chick is lookin real badass too. Oh yeah, can't forget Mr. Blond Motorcycle dude too.

Anyway, here's a trailer for the game in case you haven't been acquainted with it yet...



Yeh so that's one of the older trailers, back before they dropped the megaton. That's why it only mentions a PS3 release.

You can see the new trailer here. It's the Japanese version, so again, it says PS3 only. Do not fear, 360 owners! They just aren't releasing it on 360 in Japan. North America and Europe WILL see a 360 release, which does make sense because the 360 is pretty much nonexistant in Japan.
