E308: Final Fantasy XIII trailer [Update]


Update: Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy XIII for the Xbox 360 and PS3 will ship simultaneously in North America and Europe (although region ship dates may vary). The game remains a PS3 exclusive and will ship first in Japan.

Tried of squinting at your monitor attempting to watch the Final Fantasy XIII trailer showcased at the Microsoft Press Conference? Team X3F has got your back. Unveiled again, and for the first time (explanation to follow), during the Square Enix press conference is the trailer in its entirety (that's the again part) but with the added bonus of a PS3 Exclusive ... In Japan banner at the end (that's the first time part).

As usual with most Square Enix games, it looks beautiful and is sure to be a hit when it lands on the Xbox 360. Whenever that is. Final Fantasy XIII is coming to the Xbox 360! Just thought we'd say it again.

E308: Square Enix announces Final Fantasy XIII for the Xbox 360


Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada has just announced a version of Final Fantasy XIII will release on the Xbox 360. The former PlayStation franchise will now ship on the Microsoft branded console. No release date or other details have been made. Can we just say it now? WOW.

Prior to the trailer for Final Fantasy XIII's Xbox 360 debut, Wada also drops some details on other Square titles. Infinite Undiscovery hits September 2 in NA, September 5 Europe, September 11, in Japan and Asia. Star Ocean: The Last Hope coming in Spring 2009 but was not named as an Xbox 360 exclusive. Finally, Last Remnant hits the Xbox 360 first this holiday season across the world on November 20, 2008. The Last Remnant will also ship for the PC, but a release date has yet to be decided.

Impossibly new Final Fantasy achievements added

The guys over at Xbox360Achievements.org did some snooping around Xbox.com and discovered that Final Fantasy XI has received a Gamerscore boost. As if the game's achievements weren't already impossible enough to unlock (seriously, has anyone actually earned a 1000GS on this game?) Square Enix decided to add 25 more achievements, all secret because that's how they roll, totaling an additional 250 Gamerscore. The achievement additions are speculated to be due to FFXI's 2008 re-release. We feel for anyone who's actually going to white knuckle it through this game to earn these new secret achievements. We advise just staying away and saving yourself the pain and agony.
