Final Fantasy XIII [13] isn’t even out yet and here we have the announcement of Final Fantasy XIV [14] Online. The teaser site for this sweet looking MMORPG is now live and includes screenshots, the trailer and a place for you to register for the mailing list.
The game will be available on PC and PS3 with the possibility of Final Fantasy XIV coming to Xbox 360 not being ruled out. So much for PS3 exclusivity. Regardless, the screens look absolutely breathtaking and I figure that FFXIV will appeal to a broader audience than most MMORPGs.
Look for FFXIV in 2010.

The Shrine Auditorium was the site for Sony’s E3 2009 Media Briefing Tuesday morning, where the big news was the PSP Go, God of War III, and the upcoming PlayStation motion controller.
Sony kicked things off with this slick video that introduced us to the hardware and software of PlayStation:

It’s not every day you get to say you were present for history in the making. But Microsoft made history on January 1st, 2009, and I was there to see it.

We’re less than two days away from the official start of E3 here in sunny L.A., which begins on Tuesday (though a trio of major press conferences take place Monday). I got into town today and took a long walk around the Los Angeles Convention Center, where signs of E3 are popping up all over. If there was any doubt about this year’s event being a return to the truly big E3s of yesteryear, those thoughts were washed away by these larger-than-life sights around the convention center!

Japanese game magazines Dengeki and Famitsu have released a few pretty new details of Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII Versus. As far as I know, you start out in a place called Cocoon World in FFXIII. In addition, FFXIII’s opening scene is promised to be the most spectacular in FF series (should be much longer than that of FFXII).
Motome Toriyama, Final Fantasy XIII’s director said, “The intensity of the opening scene — it’s probably the most in the Final Fantasy series so far.”
Head over to PlayStation Universe for the Full FFXIII juice.
