A while back, Square Enix released a CG gallery for the iPhone called Final Fantasy XIII Larger Than Life which brought high resolution images of Final Fantasy XIII to its users. An iPad version was also released which included some 3D images with it.

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete has now got its own Larger Than Life gallery app with 83 images included. These images are a mixture of 3D rendered artwork and stills from the Blu-Ray Advent Children Complete which can be zoomed in and out and can also be used as backgrounds in the app’s calendar mode.

There are several characters featured from the Final Fantasy VII Compilation such as Cloud, Tifa, Aerith and Sephiroth. The app costs 700 Yen and is available now on the Apple app store.

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.

We're back again with yet another chapter of our lovely misadventures. Last we left off, we had a bit of a run in with the local creatures of Midgar. Surely many of you recognize that evil house.

Now the duo's made their way towards the Wall Market and come across one of the more "popular" locales. In an attempt to find more information on what they could possibly take on next, the two push forward…and always remember, what happens in the HoneyBee Inn, stays in the HoneyBee Inn.

See this week's chapter after the jump.

The Misadventures Of Final Fantasy Union: Beware The Random Battles

Remember ye old days of running through the overworld, lacking potions and phoenix downs, your health is down to but a teeny slice of the health bar and dreading that one random battle that would send you packing back to the save point you reached about five hours before?

Yeah, those were the good days.

Well, it doesn't happen so much anymore since battles since Final Fantasy XII have not featured random assaults on your party. Instead, we've had the luxury of picking our fights, granted that introduces some sense of strategy - ie, he's too tough, let's go around - and it's true that there's only been two main entries into the franchise since then, XII and XIII, but let's not forget about all those spinoff games that Square Enix probably made a ton of cash from.

ANYWAY, I digress, it's Wednesday and I've miraculously not torn my hair out worrying about finishing the comic on time since, well, it's finished on time! Hooray, let's hope it stays that way. Last week we finally found Kyle and decided to make our way North, unfortunately we don't have a compass and so we follow the group of singing black cloaked dudes instead. They seem to know the way.

Despite no E3 showing, Final Fantasy Versus XIII has finally broken cover with an assortment of gameplay details. All that, and discussion of pirated versions of Dissidia, Final Fantasy Agito XIII hitting the development back burner, and Final Fantasy XIV not hitting the Xbox 360 at all, on this episode of Final Fantasy Union.

It's just Kyle and David this episode, also tackling questions about Final Fantasy XV (yes, XV), and the seemingly dropped sequel to Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII. Will we ever see Genesis Rhapsodos again?

Aromatic Candles Now On Sale For Advent Children

No, I swear this isn't a joke. Square Enix really have added aromatic candles to their line-up of wacky merchandising. You'd have thought the Advent Children hype train might have died down by now, but Square Enix are apparently still keen to promote the movie and Cloud/Sephiroth candles seems to, in their minds, be the best way to do that.

This follows of course, the release of Cloud and Sephiroth Eau de Toilette a few weeks back and to be honest, you have to wonder what they're going to be adding next. Perhaps they'll start selling a working version of the Fenrir?

For those who're interested, and if you are, you probably already pre-ordered them anyway, the candles will retail for 2,200 Yen and will be available Fall 2010.

Of course, after the countless amounts of teasing coming from Square-Enix, the response on their official twitter was huge!
