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,

• blacklash90 as Oerba Yun Fang from Final Fantasy XIII


• Stella as Stella Nox Fleuret from Final Fantasy Versus XIII


• RainerTachibana as Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII

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.

And I'm sure the fangirls agree.

Next FFVII Compilation Title To Be Unveiled At This Year's E3?

22 February 2009 by Darryl

Today it was revealed that Square Enix would again be attending North America's premier gaming Expo E3, an event where they've had mixed reaction over the last few years. Last year they announced that Final Fantasy XIII would be coming to the Xbox 360 in North America and Europe alongside the Playstation 3 version, whereas in 2006 they announced the Fabula Nova Crystallis franchise.

In terms of Final Fantasy VII related activity at E3, they announced Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII in 2004 and they also announced Dirge of Cerberus: Lost Episode in 2006. However, other Final Fantasy VII related announcements have been scattered around other events such as the Square Enix Party, the Tokyo Game Show or even Jump Festa. Many of the western audience have become quite disillusioned with Square Enix recently, and an announcement of this magnitude would certainly help to regain some of the faith that they've previously shown Square Enix.

More after the jump.

Crisis Core is considered by many to be the best title that Square Enix have produced for a while and it's positive to see that unlike The World Ends With You, it has also seen very good sales around the globe.

Square Enix have just released their half-yearly financial report which plots the progress of its games between the 1st of April and the 30th of September. Although Crisis Core was released in both Japan and America before this period, it is still promising to see that it has still sold 620,000 units in this time period.

This brings the total sales for Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core up to 1,920,000.
