Just when you thought that we've seen pretty much everything we need to see in Final Fantasy XIII (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3) before the launch, Square Enix pulls out a trump card of a trailer and brandishes it at the Tokyo Game Show. If eye-popping cinematics, fireworks, and a whole lot of action are your thing, then you'll be in for a ride for the next seven minutes.

Despite announcing an FF-clad lineup after packing its bags for TGS 09, Square Enix didn't include Final Fantasy Versus XIII on that list. Famitsu was covering the action in Tokyo when Tetsuya Nomura showed the world what he has been busy with. Good news for us, more details about the PS3-exclusive part of Fabula Nova Crystallis coming our way.

Aspiring cosplayers wanting to complete the Cloud Strife look can finally add a touch of authenticity to the getup that no paper mache and plastic can give. You've got your Buster Sword, you've dyed your hair yellow and waxed it into pointy tips, you've even got the bulky SOLDIER boots, now to cap it all off, Square Enix brings you the Cloud Strife Eau de Toilette.

We've been so attuned to the hardware sales charts the past couple of weeks, thanks to Media Create, so for a change, let's veer our sights to softwares. For the week of September 14-20, Pokemon Soul Silver and HeartGold take spots number 1 and 2, respectively.

Our earlier article on the recently-confirmed 250GB Final Fantasy XIII PS3 Slim had a pic of the pristine white system, but it was kinda small. Good thing gaming blog Andriasang managed to get a few clearer shots of the Lightning-adorned console. Check 'em out after the jump.

Let's take another trip to the breathtaking land or Eorzea in this new trailer for Final Fantasy XIV (PS3, PC) fresh from TGS 09. Better make sure you ready your eyes for this one - it looks fantastic. In fact, it looks so good that it made the Marlboro seem like it smells nice...or extra rancid. Well quit stalling, see for yourself!

Just like the Guardian Forces that they can't survive without, Squall, Rinoa, and the rest of the Final Fantasy VIII crew have Junctioned themselves into a new domain - the Japanese PSN. Now you can go and relive the days of boosting Eden for ten years, spending hours hunting Draw Points, and taking advantage of critical HP to spam Limit Breaks.

Japanese gaming mag, Famitsu, comes up big again in their latest issue, where they managed to get hold of more info on the characters that we'll be meeting next year in Final Fantasy XIII (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3), as well as a few other gameplay elements.

When you're the big boss of a major third party publisher that's responsible for some of the biggest and best-looking franchises in gaming, people listen to what you have to say about gaming technology. Speaking with the Financial Times, Square Enix big man Yoichi Wada shared a few words on the motion control technology surrounding the 7th gen consoles. His take? Wada-sama seems unimpressed.

It's time to meet the family. V-Jump Magazine's latest edition features some scans for Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIII (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3). What is interesting, however, is the introduction of a new character going by the name of Serah Farron. Who is she? Someone definitely important enough.
