Oh boy. Look what we have here! Some brand spankin’ new Final Fantasy XIII footage has hit the YouTubes and this time around, it’s no pre-rendered bullshit. No, sir. This time, we have some live gameplay that was captured by an adoring fan. After watching the video for about five minutes, I have to officially state that I am excited for this game. The last time I got excited about a Final Fantasy title was with FF10. The graphics, the physics and the particle effects of FF13 are the best I’ve seen in an RPG, let alone Playstation 3 title.

People, get your systems ready. This is going to be epic.

Whether you’re a fan of Lara Croft or just get a boner for anything Final Fantasy related, you’ll now be pleased to know that Eidos has accepted a bid of about $118 million from Square-Enix. This could very well mean that in the not-too-distant future, Square characters could be making their way to Eidos titles and vice versa. Actually, fat chance, but I’m sure the combined resources of two top-notch gaming studios will lead to some creative titles in the next five years.
