This news is breaking way, way late here (it's been announced for over a month now and I had no idea! @_@), but there will be a NEW SOUKYUU NO FAFNER MOVIE.

It will be subtitled "HEAVEN & EARTH" and this time--it's A REAL SEQUEL! As in, this story takes place 2 years after the end of the series and Soushi finally returns to the island to reunite ( Read more... )

Just when you thought they'd already shown us all the friggin' awesome stuff to come--Square-enix has released a NEW (final!) FFXIII trailer on their Japanese official site ( Read more... )

Just dropping in quickly to spread the news:

FINAL FANTASY XIII's NA RELEASE DATE IS
