If they keep to their schedule, this will mean international releases to follow in early 2010 (sadly they did not opt for a simultaneous release), as well as the Xbox 360 port (but not for Japan) thereafter. Square has been hugely reluctant to put any date on the game prior to this, so observers are confident they will not have too much difficulty reaching the date, and do after all have a playable beta they are happy to show off. - Sankaku Complex http://www.eyesonff.com/ Sun, 12 Apr 2009 14:21:09 +0000 Tavrobel The EoFF Site Staff are proud to announce the beginning of our bake sale!  Have all the delicious cake you want, special made to order, and ready to ship out on request!Festivities and the epochal bake-off take place in the Lounge! http://www.eyesonff.com/ Fri, 20 Mar 2009 12:02:37 +0000 Tama2 Lots of things have been going on.

Additionally, once Eyes on Plays FFVI officially wraps up and all matters are put into order, Eyes on Plays FFVII will begin.  Overhyped, underfed, and totally in three dimensions, EoFF swears that we wished that we had seen the connection earlier.  The Jonas Brothers made FFVII.  So that means if you're a teenage girl (or, God forbid, a dude), you MUST play Final Fantasy VII.  In fact, why don't you visit the section just to refresh your memory At the very least get a better taste in music.Update: The drinks were consumed, the plants were destroyed, and the hors d'oeuvres dismantled.  I'm not trying to sound so insincere, but the postcard that's taped to the freezer reads "wish you were here." http://www.eyesonff.com/ Tue, 17 Feb 2009 09:27:37 +0000 Tama2 Square Enix is buying Eidos for $120 million.

All of the sections are the results of various (and generous) contributions, work, and effort, and parts of that person's soul.Additionally, several new reviews are up for certain games, but we're not going to tell you which ones! You'll just have to find out for yourself. Consider it a challenge (or a waste of time, whatever floats your boat). http://www.eyesonff.com/ Fri, 30 Jan 2009 16:43:50 +0000 Tama2 Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete has a shiny, new trailer.
