Only the biggest gaming brands get their own retail launch event and Final Fantasy XIII was one of them. The UK launch event was held in London yesterday with, apparently, thousands turning up to meet producer Yoshinori Kitase and art director Isamu Kamikokuryo. According to HMV's Tim Ellis the event was their biggest yet.
Today's FINAL FANTASY XIII signing at HMV's flagship store on Oxford Street was the biggest game launch the store has ever seen. With thousands of fans queuing up round the block it even beats our store's previous best game launch event which was for World of Warcraft.
Thousands of FINAL FANTASY fans came from all over the UK to HMV on Oxford Street to pick up their copy of the brand new FINAL FANTASY XIII game.
Final Fantasy XIII is a console role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix and is the thirteenth installment in the Final Fantasy series. It was released for the PlayStation 3 entertainment system in Japan on December 17, 2009 and in North America and PAL regions on March 9, 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
First appearing at E3 2006, Final Fantasy XIII is the flagship title of the Fabula Nova Crystallis collection of Final Fantasy games and is the first game to utilize Square-Enix's Crystal Tools engine. The game features both futuristic and natural elements; it is set between a land of wilderness and the high-tech world above it. Following the story of Lightning, Square-Enix describes the theme of the game as "those who resist the world". Final Fantasy XIII was generally well received on release, with a Metacritic average score of 82 for both platforms.
