The loyal who have run out and purchased Advent Children Complete will no doubt remember the awesome music found therein. Square Enix will release Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete Reunion Tracks on September 16, 2009 almost four years after the soundtrack to the original hit shelves in Japan.

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. But just how much did No.9 sell? 2.3 Million copies. In two days. To put that into perspective, that already beats former Nintendo DS King Pokemon Diamond/Pearl's opening sales,...

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...

Square Enix are following in the footsteps of Mr. Hype also known as Hideo Kojima and have put up a countdown site of their own. The site features some nice MIDI music, a hand-drawn dragon, a large "4" and a timer that ends in 160 hours (next Sunday). Could this be Hikari no 4 Senshi (4 Warriors of Light)? I...

The Last Remnant was as you might remember supposed to get a simultaneous release on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. But so far all we have seen is the Xbox and PC versions, and now it seems like PS3 owners will never get to play the game (unless they buy it for another platform). Yoichi Wada made some...
