Oh, good lord nerds. Hold on to your Chocobos. Get your wizard staffs out, and iron out your red mage robes. Square-Enix has an announcement to make.
“Final Fantasy XIII promises to be a huge event in the 2010 gaming calendar. This is truly a landmark title, arriving simultaneously for multiple platforms for the first time in the history of the series. We are also immensely proud to be able to bring the game to the European and PAL audience much earlier than was publicly anticipated.”
That’s it? Oh, no. It’s not. This is. Final Fantasy XIII will be released in December in Japan, and in the west on March 9th, 2010. Oh, man. This game looks ridic. If you’ve never seen the video, it’s almost impossible to tell when combat begins and ends.
Final Fantasy will feature your old favorite Espers, Materia, whatever, making a comeback, and will be unique like Chrono Trigger in the sense that you’ll be able to see enemies wandering around before you have to engage them in battle. Although Final Fantasy XII might’ve had that feature. I’m not sure. I didn’t play that one. Holy God, did it look long and ridiculous.
Hopefully this’ll be a return to form for the series.

Very glad to here a date set, and it's earlier than I thought it would be. I thought Spring in Japan, holidays in the US. Can't wait to play it! Been waiting for so long.

A game trailer teaser, but no actual game trailer? What is this "website"? Certainly not up to my Journalistic Standards.
