Updates for some prior news posts this week, primarily. Commence! Birth by Sleep,
as discussed last week, now has a Japanese release date: 9 January 2010.
KH Insider reports that it's going to cost over $65 in JappoDollars (6,090 Yen); let me remind you that this is sixty-five dollars for a PlayStation Portable game. Doesn't that seem a bit nutty? One hopes the price comes down a bit as it comes to the West. In Final Fantasy XIII news, Kotaku brings us yet more screenshots this week; they come from some
pretty poor photos taken of the latest Famitsu magazine, so don't get your hopes up too much. Oh well, more media coming in for the next flagship release from Square Enix can't be a terrible thing. Finally, if you're into the Final Fantasy branded libations that have been released in the past, you might be interested to see the product mockups for Final Fantasy XIII Elixir.
There appear to be two different designs planned. The first has sixteen different designs featuring character renders that you probably have seen in one form or another, with Snow, Lightning and Serah being featured on multiple can designs; the other has a boxed package with a more landscapey scene printed on the can and one of six mini-figures included in the box as well. If you want to import the drinks, more power to youthey should be available on 8 December and 22 December, respectively.
