The good news: no
Boxing Day shopping trips are in store for European gamers eager to telekinetically grab
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers. The (relatively) bad news: that’s because it’s coming out more than a month later. Square Enix announced today that
Crystal Bearers will be available in PAL territories on February 5, 2010. As waits for
Final Fantasy games go, it doesn’t seem that bad.
In fact, with the game being released on a normal day instead of the day after Christmas, maybe someone in Europe will notice its release — something we suspect may be a problem for a game that has been under the radar for most of its development.

Sometimes new information comes from the strangest sources. Apparently, when Square-Enix made their last update to the Final Fantasy XIV with two new jobs revealed, they added a little something unexpected. Not what would have been expected, either — it was the support site for the game. Since the game is yet to be released or even have a finalized date published, said site contains only a handful of questions, which largely contain no new information… but there are at least two interesting pieces to be gleaned from the site, one minor and one slightly larger.
The smaller piece of information is the list of supported platforms for the game: Windows PC and Playstation 3. That isn’t exactly new information, but it’s confirmed. The slightly larger tidbit is the confirmation that Japanese releases of Final Fantasy XIII will contain a code to obtain an exclusive in-game item for Final Fantasy XIV. The answer specifies that plans to include said code in the North American or European releases have yet to be decided… which could mean anything. Will the item be exclusive to Japanese players to compensate for the game having a global launch instead of one in Japan first a la Final Fantasy XI? Will the item be cosmetic or have some game impact? Will there be different items based on region? No answers are yet forthcoming, but it should be an interesting tidbit for fans looking forward hungrily to the game’s release some time in 2010.

Let’s say you want to drum up some interest for the Xbox version of a
beloved RPG series that has traditionally appeared on the Playstation. What would you do? Why, use Twitter, of course! The
Xbox.com Final Fantasy XIII page is holding a social media event of sorts, offering Xbox Live members the chance to win “a secret Xbox Live prize.” The gist of it is pretty simple, register at the Xbox.com
Final Fantasy XIII page (US or UK), then post a tweet that contains the #FFXIIIXBOX hash tag and the URL of said Xbox.com page.
Once a certain number of tweets has been reached, the prize will be unlocked. There is no indication of what the prize may be, but we’re hoping for some outlandish spiky hair for our Avatar. Barring that, we’d settle for a giant sword or some bizarrely effeminate accessories.

Another first for the series, this one is going multi-platform! Both Xbox 360 and PS3 owners will be able to enjoy Final Fantasy XIII.
Final Fantasy XIII will take players on an epic tale through the worlds of Cocoon and Pulse. With an improved active battle system, a new paradigm system, and a swanky summoning mechanic, there will be lots for fans to experience.
Keep it locked here for more details as the March 09, 2010 release date nears.

When Shonen Jump recently revealed Square Enix’s intention to include a “campaign code” for something in Final Fantasy XIV with the first printing of Final Fantasy XIII, we weren’t sure what to make of it. Thankfully, Famitsu’s latest issue (translated by Andriasang) details the inter-franchise crossover content a bit more, calling it a “secret in-game item” and reporting it can be input before the upcoming MMO opens up to the public for a “limited edition item” of some type. It’s unclear if the item will be available for use in the PC beta.
Apparently, Famitsu also notes that the item is exclusive to Japan and, though limited, will be included with all FFXIII PS3 bundles (also Japan-exclusive). Since we’re certain that someone reading this is currently weighing the import costs of one of those bundles against the value of an exclusive virtual goody, we hope for you and your family’s sake that a friend is by your side, calling in an intervention right now. It’s really for the best.
