Final Fantasy XIII: Coming 2010

2010

I like your style, Square Enix.  When you have something important to say, you spare no expense.  These gargantuan advertisements quietly went up in downtown LA recently right near the TCW building on the same street as the LA Convention Center.  This is some nice timing on Square Enix’s part, as E3 is less than a week away so a lot of fans of the series should see this.

Note the Xbox symbol under Vanille on the left – yup, it’s official.

well look at that

This ad makes Final Fantasy XIII’s North American release feel just a bit more real.  Hopefully when I am in downtown LA next week I can find this ad and get some more photos of it.  I think it would be worth it to hike a few blocks.

Snow

Take that, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars! Your ad space has been given to something more deserving.  I bet it looked pretty funny when it was just Snow’s head on that AZN DRAGON PRINCESS’s body complete with nail polish.

So those buildings kinda look like apartments, huh?  Which Final Fantasy XIII character would you rather live in?

    No it hasn’t. Square-Enix has been slowly turning into a new cancer to gaming since 2003. At least GTA doesn’t ruin perfectly good IPs in the process.

    I was only speaking of the individual games, not the respective companies/series as a whole. However if you wanna get right down to it, Rockstar’s blatant use of racial stereotypes as characters doesn’t sit well with me. The image used in this ad is definitely no exception. :scar:
