Final Fantasy XIII Released Today - First Impressions
The long awaited Final Fantasy XIII for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 is out today in Europe, America and Australia. My collector's edition for the 360 arrived this morning and it is full of goodies! Here are some quick pictures I took of the collection, please excuse the bedsheets as the background and the mobile phone quality! Along with the game, you receive a hardback art book of various character renders and screenshots ("The World of Final Fantasy XIII"), a ten song soundtrack including the fantastic battle theme "Blinded by Light" and notes on each song by the composer Masashi Hamauzu, three double-sided art prints of the party members and their Eidolons, and two stickers of the l'Cie mark. Overall it's a great buy and well worth the cash. The 360 and PS3 versions are virtually the same, but go for the PS3 if you have the funds as the visuals are noticeably different. First Impressions Having not played very far yet, I can't give too much information, but here are my first impressions of the game minus the spoilers! Gameplay First of all, this game plays like a dream, no matter what console you bought it for. Moving through locations is seamless and the addition of 'auto-jumping' through the scenery makes it very interactive too. Treasure chests have been replaced with Treasure Spheres and Save Points (which double as your shops now) are in plentiful supply so you won't have to replay great chunks of the game over again. Healing between battles is gone now as your party are automatically regenerated after every battle, a nice feature but very different. You'll also notice there is no way of upgrading/leveling your characters in the beginning, but hold on for an hour or so as this changes later. This time round your party members are left to their own devices to explore the terrain, and you don't have to worry about them keeping up with you as they appear with you when you enter a battle. You can also hear your characters talking among themselves at certain story points, which is also interesting to spot. You can read this dialogue too if you switch subtitles on. Battle System In FFXIII the battle system has been revamped almost beyond recognition. But don't worry, it retains a nice mixture of old turn-based RPG elements but with more action based visuals like in Kingdom Hearts and much, much faster gameplay. At first, it's all so new and different you might find yourself feeling a little confused by the fast-paced action, but it quickly becomes such an immersive experience... Read full article..?

E3 2008 Announcement: FFXIII To Be Released For Xbox 360!
Hey everyone, this is Machina Man with some huge news straight from E3! During Microsoft’s press conference, the president of Square Enix came onto the stage and announced three titles (including The Last Remnant) that are going to be hitting stores and will be on the Xbox 360. He left the stage, claiming he had nothing left to say. He then came back a moment later, saying he forgot one other announcement. The announcement was that Final Fantasy XIII, which was supposed to be a Playstation 3 exclusive, will be released in all of its graphical beauty on the Xbox 360. The 360 release will only be in the U.S. and Europe, though. Japanese fans can only buy it for the PS3. Sadly, no release date has been announced yet. Don’t let that get you down, though. Square Enix will be holding a private party on August 2nd and 3rd that will be showcasing games. These games include the Final Fantasy XIII series, The 3rd Birthday, and they will also be looking at Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. New trailers will be released of the newest Kingdom Hearts titles and also, playable demos of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts: Coded, Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, and Sigma Harmonics will be available at the party. Finally, here is Square’s line up for E3. · The Last Remnant (360) · Infinite Undiscovery (360) · Star Ocean: The Last Hope (360) · Song Summoner (Ipod) · Chrono Trigger (DS) · Final Fantasy IV (DS) · Star Ocean 1 & 2 (PSP) Square Enix seems to be pleasing the fans with their perfect remakes and with Chrono Trigger on the way, we’ll be happy for a long time to come. On another note, I have a link for the trailer seen at E3 for Final Fantasy XIII, with English translations! Thanks to KagePhoenix of Kingdom Hearts Extreme for the link. Final Fantasy XIII E3 Trailer [English] It seems to me that Square’s doing its best to wow its audiences around the world. Hopefully they keep these incredible ideas coming in the years to come. This is Machina Man, signing off. Read full article..?
