Eat your heart out fangirls, this week's cosplay feature proves that I'm not just browsing the web for good looking gals in Final Fantasy outfits (Okay, maybe I am). Anyway, back on topic. As usual, let's start off with who we've already showcased and they would be,
Yeah we're going to need a page for them cosplays eventually.
Genesis Rhapsados is the man of the week. Cosplayed by Otaru-Shirou, who has also cosplayed other characters including Squall from FFVIII and Riku from Kingdom Hearts II. Check out his killer cosplay after the jump, and more over at his deviantArt page. From the leather to the rapier and let's not forget his hair too, Otaru-Shirou makes a splendid Genesis.
Rejoice everyone, for Final Fantasy XIV actually has a concrete release date, well three actually. What's important though, is that Square Enix have delivered on their promise of a 2010 release, for the PC at least, and it's closer than many anticipated. We'll be able to get our grubby hands on Final Fantasy XIV within mere months and I for one, really can't wait!
I was a huge Final Fantasy XI fanatic, and it was actually the first and only MMO that I've played properly during my long gaming life. However, there came a point where I just didn't find the game fun any more - I'd done pretty much all there was to do and it was time for my little Tarutaru to retire. Square Enix had teased a sequel for quite some time through the guise of Codename Rapture. However, when they officially announced the game as Final Fantasy XIV at E3 last year, I couldn't have been happier.
After learning more about their plans for the game, my interest has only grown, and after playing it at E3 this year, in 3D no less, my anticipation for the game probably couldn't get any higher. Final Fantasy XI was a bit arduous, but it looks as though they're going to try to allow Final Fantasy XIV players to be more flexible with their time. No more waiting 4 hours for an EXP party, we hope. Either way, I really hope members of the Final Fantasy Union/Gaming Union community will take to the game. There's nothing better than playing an MMO with people you know and experiencing the game's story with them.

So, I'm not sure if you guys saw the news last week, but Square Enix came out and said that Final Fantasy Agito XIII was a low priority for them right now. Personally, I'm really disappointed by this news. Agito XIII is a title I'm really looking forward to, mainly because it promises to be a really different proposition to a normal Final Fantasy title, but also because of what they achieved with Dissidia: Final Fantasy and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.
Now, I'm certainly not Yoichi Wada and I'm not entirely sure if I'd want to be. But I really can't fathom what's going through his head right now and I don't think many people can fathom what's been going through his head for the last few years. Surely it'd be better to concentrate on Final Fantasy Agito XIII, a game that they announced years ago and everyone's anticipating, than an addition to the Parasite Eve franchise, a franchise that's probably as niche as they come with regards to Square Enix's library.
