Thanks!! I'm tempted to stay up/ get up for this. I'm talking about the XIII news mostly :desu: But also the anniversary stage sounds interesting.

3:30 is a bit of a stretch for me, but I'm dying to know what the title is, so lots of coffee for me tonight. :monster:

Oh! So the event is in the East? I thought it was an American thing (thinking about it now that was a rather silly assumption of me) so I thought it would be tomorrow.

Cool! Not sure if I stay up or check in tomorrow morning, but anyway - wheeeeeee!)

I'm not sure either! I was up until 3am last night but I don't think I want to do that again, might go to bed at like 10pm and get up at 4. It would be interesting to finally watch one of these things instead of just reading about it the following day. And I did make a NicoNico account.

I'll decide as the day wears on ^_^.

I don't know where else to put this but I'm amazed they finally did this. FFIIII UMD kinda breaks the flow though.

OMG I WANT IT SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

Although I'm wondering why FFX's disc art looks like it has Squall on it. Amano does not enjoy blonde hair here.

No X-2 or XIII-2? Is Square ashamed of something? :monster:

(for the record, I enjoyed XIII-2. I haven't played enough of X-2 to really form an opinion, other than to say that I did enjoy the battle system)

I was wondering the same thing. o.o The guy doesn't look much like Tidus, but it's hard to say, should really need a closer look at the disc before I can tell.

It's so cool though. Where will I get the money?! >.< Though actually, my tax refund is almost exactly the amount of money needed. :awesome:

I saw it, got excited, saw the price, lost a little excitement, then thought "well, I mean, I guess that's not terrible for what it is," and finally saw that there's currently nothing saying it'll release outside of Japan. Guess I'll be holding on to my monies :P

My brother told me about this earlier today.

But 4 disks for FFVII and FFVIII?

VIII was 4 discs, but VII was 3. This is the International version however, which I guess had 4? (I thought the big thing added for international was the Weapons, did it really need an extra disc?)

Apparently they felt they had to give the Japanese audience extra justification to buy the game a second time.

...I hope that's just a weird translation thing. Although as Force just pointed out, if it is, it'll probably be "Lightning Comes Back" in English :monster:

If that really is it's official title, I can see it being Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning's Return or something.

EDIT: Found an even better link with more details.

It'll be for PS3 and XBox 360, exploration is a major theme. Apparently she travels by monorail to 4 islands. This is the weirdest most unexpected shit ever.

Although I like what they say about bringing back the Lightning from XIII as opposed to XIII-2.

the logo is "lightning returns: final fantasy xiii", and they took that direction (reversing the order of the title) with the compilation of ffvii (dirge of cerberus/crisis core/before crisis: final fantasy vii)? i don't see why it would change
