E3 '08: Final Fantasy XIII 360-bound, Last Remnant dated Square Enix's formerly PS3-only RPG epic will launch day and date on Microsoft's console in North America and Europe; timed 360 exclusive hitting US Sept. 2, EU Sept. 5. By Tor Thorsen, GameSpot Posted Jul 14, 2008 12:04 pm PT LOS ANGELES--At the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo, Microsoft presented what it thought was a major announcement from a top Japanese developer, Square Enix. Unfortunately, the "news" proved a tad anticlimactic, considering that the game in question was Final Fantasy XI, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game previously released on the PC in 2003 and the PlayStation 2 in 2004. Despite a sizeable PR push, the 360 edition of the game was lukewarmly received by critics and consumers, who barely bought 213,000 copies of it in the US. Over the next three years, Microsoft would announce several more Square Enix games for the Xbox 360, including the exclusive Star Ocean: The Last Hope and the timed exclusive The Last Remnant. However, in many gamers' minds these projects were dwarfed in importance by the stature of two other Square Enix games: Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII Versus, both PlayStation 3 exclusives... ...until today. This morning at its press briefing at the E3 Media & Business Summit, Microsoft stunned many in the audience by announcing that Final Fantasy XIII is now in development for the Xbox 360. Not only is the game coming to the console, but it will arrive on the same day and date as the PlayStation 3 edition of the game, with no timed exclusivity of any kind. However, when exactly that is remains a mystery, given that the graphics-intensive role-playing game still has no firm release date. "We believe that releasing an Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII will allow us to provide the game to even more fans in the two regions of North America and Europe," Square Enix boss Yoichi Wada told a stunned audience. No mentioned was made of Japan, where the 360 is far less popular than the PS3. Wada also used today's event to date the 360 release of The Last Remnant in all regions. The game will ship in North America on September 2, Europe and the UK on September 5, and Japan and Asia on September 11. Check back throughout the week for previews and impressions of Square Enix's game lineup from E3 2008.

Hell Yeah! This song is one of my personal favourites.
Here are the lyrics
Shh be quiet, you might piss somebody off Like me motherfucker, you've been at it for too long While you feed off others insecurities You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds
(Self-righteousness is wearing thin) Lies inside your head your bestfriend (Heart bleeds but not for fellow man) Broken glass, your fake reflection
I've had enough its time for something real Don't respect the words you're speaking Gone too far, a clone
So how does it feel to know that someones kid in the heart of america Has blood on their hands, fighting to defend your rights So you can maintain the lifestyle that insults this family's existance Well, where I'm from we have a special salute we aim high in the air Towards all those pompous assholes who spend their days pointing fingers
Fuck you
Shh be quiet, you might piss somebody off Like the heartbeat of this country when antagonized too long I'll be damned if you count me in as part of your generous hypocrisy Collecting enemies
(Tabloid gossip queen, worthless man) There's no need for us to bury you (Selfish agenda, once again) Right this way, you've dug your own grave
I've had enough its time for something real Don't respect the words you're speaking Gone too far, a clone
All the way from the east to the west We've got this high society looking down on this very foundation Constantly reminding us that our actions are the cause of all their problems Pointing the fingers in every direction Blaming their own nation for who wins elections They've never contributed a fucking thing to the country they love to criticize
Excuse the obscene, ignore the untrue Depictions we see, try and get through Admitting mistakes can't hurt I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first
Shh be quiet, you might piss somebody off
(Self-righteousness is wearing thin) Lies inside your head your bestfriend (Heart bleeds but not for fellow man) Broken glass, your fake reflection
I've had enough its time for something real Don't respect these words you speak You've gone too far, a clone
