Final Fantasy XIII Coming To Xbox 360

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Holy shit, this is great news. At the Microsoft E3 conference, it was officially announced by Square Enix president Yoichi Wada that Final Fantasy XIII is coming to the Xbox 360, and should be released alongside the PS3 version. That’s totally awesome…but I guess it sucks for Sony that’s it’s no longer exclusive.

Also, Star Ocean will be out Spring 2009, which is great. Also, the Last Remnant will be out on 360 first this holiday season.

Atlus Hints at Announcement

Friday, May 30th, 2008

I receive email announcements from Atlus telling me all about the latest happenings and various other information about upcoming Atlus titles. Today, I receive this (click to view it at a higher resolution):

I have no idea what it means, I really can’t think what game this would be referring too, but it links here. So I guess we can expect some big (or not so big) announcement on June 3rd at around 10 AM PST.

I also received another Atlus email about a new production diary entry, basically behind the scenes information about what goes in to video game production (obviously). This one is about the naming of things in game, which I found to be pretty interesting. Basically, you can’t do a literal translation on enemy names are you get stuff like “Owner of the Malicious Glare.”
