We had a blast! The details had been posted a little while ago up in the forums and the new CMS site (which we thought would be up by now but there have been some delays), and the holiday combined with general busyness prevented us from posting it up here. See the links below for all the information on the event! Eyeson Visits Square-Enix! Final Fantasy XIII-2 Facts http://www.eyesonff.com/ Fri, 28 Oct 2011 05:19:44 +0000 JKTrix NieR isn't directly related to Final Fantasy other than being published by Square Enix. But there is one thing that Final Fantasy fans have in common with the players of NieR, and that is an interest in good music.This is kind of short notice, but At 7:30 AM EST (that's 10 minutes!), Square Enix Music in Japan is live streaming a concert of NieR music. Check it out here!http://www.ustream.tv/channel/2-5d1UPDATE: It's over. It doesn't look like you'll have the chance to relive this event if you missed it, but it looks like it was arranged to highlight the release of the NieR Tribute Album released last month. A couple of the artists from the live event are on this album as well. http://www.eyesonff.com/ Tue, 25 Oct 2011 23:01:15 +0000 Del Murder Director Toriyama confirmed in an interview with Dengeki Playstation that Sazh is not forgotten like certain dead character montages make him out to be. Though he's only mentioned briefly in the interview, Toriyama does say that Sazh is 'currently undertaking activities which are supposed to better Gran Pulse'. Dengeki is in Japanese but a good summary of what was learned can be found here. http://www.eyesonff.com/ Wed, 17 Aug 2011 13:10:46 +0000 Loony BoB For those of you out there that are interested in Final Fantasy XIV, or if - like myself - you're playing it, then there's some promising news in the 16th letter from the producer, Yoshi-P.  It's a long read, but if  you like, I've done my best to summarise it for you. In other FFXIV news, the official Final Fantasy XIV forums have moved out of beta and into full service!  What does this mean   Well... not much, really.  But if you're playing the game then get over there and let your voice be heard on all things FFXIV.  When you're done, be sure to come back to Eyes on Final Fantasy to talk with us about FFXIV, other FF games, your favourite TV shows, the price of fish and almost everything else! http://www.eyesonff.com/ Sat, 13 Aug 2011 07:27:26 +0000 Loony BoB Square-Enix has launched an electronic magazine aptly named the The Official Square-Enix Magazine, and it's worth a read for the Final Fantasy XIII-2 information alone, let alone the information on Deus Ex: Human Revolution (out 23rd-26th August depending on where you live) and the new Tomb Raider game that's in the works.  We'll naturally focus on FFXIII-2, though, and here's the summary of what's noted...Battle System - You will have the ability fight alongside befriended monsters. - You can pick and mix several different monsters in preparation for a battle. - Monsters will have special abilities which will be similar to that of the Eidolons in FFXIII. - The battle system will retain paradigm shifts. - The battle system will be even faster and more dynamic than that of FFXIII.Gameplay - Gameplay will feature puzzle-solving elements. - While FFXIII was 'story-driven', this game will be 'player-driven' with elements of interaction and choice. - There will be a new game progression system which encourages the player to explore the world and various challenges on offer.Characters and Storyline - Noel will act as protagonist in the game. - FFXIII's characters will all feature in FFXIII-2, and "every one of them will have some involvement in the story - albeit in an unexpected fashion." - The game will have a 'darker' tone. - The player detailed alongside Lightning in the logo is still being kept secret by SE for now, but they have stated he shares a relationship with Noel Kreiss. - Noel grew up in Gran Pulse in a very different environment to that of Vanille & Fang, and was ignorant of life on Cocoon. He has survived in harsh conditions where you have to fight monsters to survive, and is burdened by a heavy destiny. - Lightning will go into battle at the very beginning of the game wearing the armour featured in FFXIII-2 trailers. - While FFXIII featured the gods Lindzei and Pulse, it will be Etro who will feature strongly in FFXIII-2. Feathers floating around Lightning in trailers symbolise Etro. Hopefully that's more than enough to keep you all satisfied with where things are going.  So, does this mean we'll be able to befriend a bomb monster and have it explode in our enemies faces   Feel free to register at the forums and discuss this news with us!Oh, and another thing SE mentioned in it's magazine were a few cool Final Fantasy sites.  What can I say   They have good taste!On a sidenote: Apologies for the lack of news lately, we've been working on big changes which are due to go ahead with the frontsite this year and it's clearly sidetracked us a little too much! http://www.eyesonff.com/ Fri, 01 Jul 2011 22:56:17 +0000 JKTrix Internet guy Hymnosi is raising funds for the American Cancer Society by streaming a playthrough of Final Fantasy VII.

From what I could tell, they showed off 5 games:Dissidia 012 for PSP (where you could pay some yen to take home a demo of it); Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance (or "3D"), the final name for the 3DS game; Final Fantasy Versus XIII for PS3; Final Fantasy Type-0 (formerly known as Agito XII) for PSP; and the big new announcement: Final Fantasy XIII-2 for the PS3 and 360.In fact, you can look at a trailer for XIII-2 right now. I've gone ahead and let the video skip the first 40 seconds, which spoils the ending of Final Fantasy XIII--just in case.My fellow members are already discussing the event, and these games, in our forums. http://www.eyesonff.com/ Wed, 03 Nov 2010 21:13:14 +0000 JKTrix One of the lower-profile releases from Square-Enix recently was Knights of the Crystals on the Facebook service. It doesn't actually bear the moniker of Final Fantasy, but it does share its distinctive( ) font, and more tellingly, the character designs of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance's Ryoma Ito.It's currently in beta, so expect some wonkiness that comes with an unfinished product, but do give it a try.Some of our members are already addicted. http://www.eyesonff.com/ Tue, 05 Oct 2010 07:39:58 +0000 Levian Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light for the DS was released in the states today! It's a multiplayer game for the DS, so make sure to use our Friend Code forum thread if you want to play with other EoFFers. If you're American anyway, the Europeans will have to wait until Friday if they want to play this game. Also, Kitase has been hinting at more content to the Final Fantasy XIII series, in the form of DLC to the original game or even possibly a FFXIII-2. Who knows if this will ever be reality  They definitely a lot on their hands with future installments in the Fabula Nova Crystalis with Versus and Agito currently in the works. But one can only hope, I know I definitely wouldn't say no to seeing Sazh changing jobs by using dresspheres!

What better what to combine those to than to post photos of some excellent cosplay. Cosplay has an internet reputation for being comical, as there are many unsucessful cosplay photos floating around. On this website, we'd like to focus on promoting hard working cosplayers who succeed by putting a great deal of effort in their costume and accessories. So take a seat and prepared to be amazed by these fantastic Final Fantasy cosplayers!Note: While we on Eyes on Final Fantasy love to give credit to all of the excellent cosplayers featured on our front site, we often are unable to find their information or name to credit them by. If you are one of the cosplayers featured on the front site and would like to be credited, please contact us via email, or better yet, contact us via the forum, and we will add your credit information ASAP! Thank you for your patience!  First up: This super awesome Final Fantasy X-2 cosplay of Yuna.                                                                       "Two years since the demise of Sin, Yuna finds herself involved in a Sphere Hunting group called the Gullwings after finding a Sphere which may contain the whereabouts of her lost love, Tidus. Since she can no longer summon Aeons, she has learned to defend herself through powerful machina pistols known to her as the "Tiny Bee"."Wow, look at all of the work put into those accessories! Truly, there is not one detail spared. And the cosplayer even looks a lot alike Yuna. Fantastic! My favorite touch is the microphone. Songstress was always one of my favorite battle orientations to fight under! Credit: No information known at the time. Please contact us with any name/credit information.     Another Final Fantasy X-2 cosplay: Rikku!                                                              "Rikku's back! Wearing a revealing outfit and wielding two daggers, she assists Yuna as a fellow member of the Gullwings. She was the one that set events into motion when she showed Yuna the mysterious Sphere of Tidus. Rikku is Yuna's younger cousin and is also the little sister of Brother."Look how colorful that costume is - especially the scarf! The costume looks so incredible well sewn as well. The hair is also very well done. Who ever you are, Rikku cosplayer, Eyes on Final Fantasy gives you two thumbs up for your hard work!Credit: No information known at the time. Please contact us with any name/credit information.I'm sure by now, you are all wondering why there haven't been any male cosplayers, or any other Final Fantasy cosplayers featured. Not to worry. I will satisfy both - here is a fantastic cosplay of a male character from Final Fantasy 7....    Reno of Final Fantasy 7!"Reno is a prominent member of the Turks, ranking directly below Tseng, whose main weapon is a retractable, metallic stun baton called an Electro-Mag Rod. He is characterized as cocky, cynical, and somewhat lazy, but is nonetheless highly skilled and takes pride in his work."                                                Whoa! That tough look on his face scares me a little bit, to be entirely honest! He really nailed this cosplay well. It's one of my favorites I've ever seen. One thing I need to know: HOW did he get his hair to stay so perfectly styled  Hairspray could not possibly do it all. I bet he used egg yolk, but I'm not sure. Feel free to tell us your tips, cosplayer, on our forum.Credit: No information known at the time.

Source Joystiq Article, forum thread http://www.eyesonff.com/ Sun, 08 Aug 2010 19:04:54 +0000 Rye I have sad news, friends. It was confirmed on August 7th that The Black Mages, the Japanese instrumental rock band formed by Nobuo Uematsu, Kenichiro Fukui, and Tsuyoshi Sekito, has disbanded. The reason for the break up is unconfirmed, but issues involving copyright and distance between band members are speculated as possible causes. Thank you for all of your great music, The Black Mages, and we hope for a possible reunion in the future. Don't be too sad though. If you're looking new sources of Final Fantasy musical joy, look no further! Today, my Final Fantasy media focus is on symphonic and a capella groups that have covered Final Fantasy music. Enjoy! Vintage Final Fantasy Medley by the A Cappella Men's Chorus For those who find that they have the Final Fantasy battle music playing in their head over and over whenever they play the older games, this might not be the best video to watch! You'll be humming this original medley for hours! All I can say is: incredible! It is impressive enough to see an original medley, but to see it performed with such spirit and fun is really amazing. I can honestly say I watched the entire 8:24 minutes of this video, I was so entertained. This video is a medley of all of the old school Final Fantasy jams that we all hold so dear to our hearts! Best Moment: The beginning when they came marching out making those kazoo sounds! I bursted out laughing. What an introduction! I bet every Final Fantasy fan in the audience cracked a huge smile. Final Fantasy VII One Winged Angel (Eminence Symphony) "Eminence Symphony Orchestra performed the piece composed by Nobuo Uematsu called 'One Winged Angel' released with the Playstation game by Squaresoft (now Square-Enix) called 'Final Fantasy VII'. The piece was performed at the Sydney Town Hall at the a concert known as A Night in Fantasia during October 2005" This put chills down my spine. I can't imagine how amazing this sounded live. I wonder how the audience felt listening to this and if they knew this was a song composed for a video game. Absolutely incredible. I would be hard pressed to choose if this or the original version sounds better. Best Moment: 1:30, when the focus shifts from the orchestra to span the entire group of performers, and the chorus begins. It was such a great surprise. The two groups really performed amazingly together. Diwa de Leon's Original A Capella "One Wing Angel" Arrangement and Performance "Music by Nobuo Uematsu. Arranged & Performed by Diwa de Leon. Direction, Cinematography, Editing, Sound Recording, Mixing & Mastering by Diwa de Leon. Recorded using Logic Studio 9. Edited with Adobe Premiere Pro. I'm a professional composer, arranger and a bit of a violinist. I like playing video game music for fun. Sheet music is NOT available as this is my own arrangement and it's not available anywhere else. I don't notate my works unless it is a necessity. Most of the time I record my works directly upon conceptualization." Wow, this is probably the most creative arrangements of "One Wing Angel" I've ever heard! This entire piece of performed, arranged, recorded, mixed, mastered.... basically, EVERYTHING by the talented Diwa de Leon. Not only does this sound fantastic, but the visualization is really awesome. Each vocal part is split into a seperate window in the video, and there is up to 9 separate windows during the latin choral vocal part. Not to mention all of the awesome outfits that Diwa de Leon's wears - I'm loving that Mario Bros gamer chic! Best Moment: 1:25, when there is the 9-screen split and the choir and the violin come into the mix. Diwa's vocal expressions in the top right window absolutely slayed me. Awesome! Happy listening friends! Remember to discuss your feelings on The Black Mages' disbandment on our forums!

Many of those people put hard work into their cosplay, or create fan art/crafts, or other such things. In all my years of being within the Final Fantasy community, however, I've never seen someone sing original Disney covers... in Al Bhed! "I Won't Say I'm In Love (Hercules)" - Original Cover in Al Bhed by folktalebird Not only is folktalebird's voice very pretty, but her pronunciation is spectacular! Wow! I tried singing along to the lyrics of the karaoke version (see below) of the Al Bhed "I Won't Say I'm In Love", and I got tongue tied rather quickly. She must have put a lot of effort into this. Please cover more Disney songs in Al Bhed, for us Final Fantasy & Kingdom Heart lovers! Perhaps Simple & Clean  Happy listening!

I wonder how many hours of work were put into this fantastic and accurate bead art. It looks like it was taken directly out of the game. It must have been a lot of hard work. It portrays the scene during which Cecil becomes a paladin on top of Mt. Ordeals. I'm sure any Final Fantasy fan, especially fans of , would love to have this art in their room.
