Ride-able, transforming Eidolons, worlds within worlds, and perhaps most significantly, a female lead character. Scans from today's issue of JUMP however also reveal that the female soldier seen in various trailers is in fact the game's villain, a Lieutenant in the...

Kotaku has an interesting story up about the changes that Final Fantasy XIII as gone through during the development process.

Forum member Neora is a internet troll and wanted to prove it by gathering some Final Fantasy XIII information for you. This week's edition of Shonen Jump includes information on a member of the game's cast, a white haired male youth named Hope Estheim. And apparently: Hope's weapon is a boomerang. It appears there is some kind of a friction...

Seeing as how most of us aren't in Japan, we all missed a gaming release of epic proportions this weekend as Dragon Quest IX is now readily available across the Pacific.

Let's be honest here, everyone outside of Japan is getting the shaft when it comes to Dissidia: Final Fantasy. Not only did they get a Limited Edition PSP-2000, but a pretty nifty cover featuring Amano's heroes illustration for the game. But that's Japan. They always get cool stuff. As for the US, we get a pretty terrible cover. Luckily, Gamestop...
