Square Enix releases official Final Fantasy XIII box art
Square Enix has today uploaded the official box art for Final Fantasy XIII to their e-store which we have pictured for you above. Of course, it’s pretty small and ridiculously un entertaining but it is the official box art and that means something, right?
It’s expected that the North American box art will look the same as the above one is for the Japanese market but we won’t know until FFXIII actually makes its way onto store shelves for the Xbox 360 and PS3 sometime in 2010.
PS3 250 GB Final Fantasy XIII bundle in Japan
While the Aussies (and most likely the Europeans and North Americans) will be getting 250 GB bundles with the standard, black PS3 slim console, the lucky Japanese will have something quite different.
The Final Fantasy XIII bundle in Japan will come with FF XII and a 250 GB white limited edition PS3 slim with Final Fantasy artwork, easily making it the prettiest PS3 by far. The bundle will be available for 42,000 Yen, or $460 USD.
Japanese YouTube ad reveals FFXIII release date?
What you see above is reportedly a Japanese YouTube advertisement for Square Enix’s highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIII. As you can see, it clearly displays that the game will hit Japanese store shelves on December 17th, 2009, but is that to be believed? We’ll have to wait until Square Enix makes an official announcement regarding the game which is expected sometime in the near future.
As for a North American release date? No word.

Final Fantasy XIII demo caught on film in its entirety *SPOILER*
It seems that a YouTube user with the rather original name allthenamesaretooken has went ahead and captured the entire Final Fantasy 13 demo on film, from start to finish. Great news for FF-heads, bad news for those who don’t like spoilers.
These videos do a great job showcasing the rather amazing cinematics Square Enix has put together for the game. Oh, there’s some gameplay too.
Parts 2 and 3 are included after the break.

No FF13 Xbox 360 Version for Asians
While Microsoft may have shocked gamers with their Final Fantasy XIII news, Asians won’t be able to get the game on their Xbox 360s, until and unless they import the title, if what game director and writer Motomu Toriyama and Tetsuya Nomura are saying is true.
According to the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation, Nomura was “surprised” at the FFXIII Xbox 360 Asia version news, noting that Microsoft’s comment (”it would be nice if the game came out”) was not to be taken literally. However, Toriyama is more straightforward, plainly stating that “there will absolutely not be an Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII for Japan.”
The game is slated hit both PS3 and Xbox 360 in North America and Europe.
