I’ve been a huge FF fan since the release of FFVIII, I had played a couple of the previous games however it wasn’t until VIII that I was really hooked. Hence why I am ecstatic to hear the Australian release date of FFXIII!

This is a long awaited release and one main decision that prompted me to buy a PS3. Lucky for Japan, they will get their hands on it December this year so from that we’ll get more in-depth reviews of the game and it’s highly anticipated battle system. There are also a number of awesome trailers out there so I recommend you check them out to get a better insight of the game.

The graphics are spectacular, it’s one of few games that will take full advantage of the PS3 hardware and game play is said to be very smooth.

Here are a number of links to get you up to speed on FFXIII if you’re not already:
