The past few days some new articles have popped up on sites like Famitsu.com regarding the Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII series. Many of them have already been translated and discussed.

X-Edge made a lot of noise in the gaming world when it suddenly appeared in Famitsu magazine. Five major video game companies collaborating on one title, how could that possibly be bad? Well the game’s website has finally been updated, but not with a whole lot of new info unfortunately.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z16bkl07DOE

The opening video to the Japanese version of Stings’s Knights in the Nightmare has appeared on YouTube. I was surprised to see that the game features English voice-overs, although that seems to be a style choice that Sting prefers for their Dept. Heaven titles.

Knights in the Nightmare Video Emerges

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWVOCDzTPCo

I apologize in advance for the poor quality of this video. While it may not look fantastic, having such an early look at Knights in the Nightmare is incredibly fortunate. The battle is a bit confusing, but I believe that everything we are seeing takes place on the bottom screen of the Nintendo [...]
