Final Fantasy Orchestral Concert “Distant Worlds” Comes to Sydney and Canada

If you're a Final Fantasy fan then you know about the brilliant Japanese video game composer Nobuo Uematsu. And if you aren't familiar with the name, then it's highly improbable that you haven't heard of the world-renowned music that he has developed for Square Enix's Final Fantasy series. Even if you haven't, his songs can be featured in multiple games and even in Japanese anime (Ah! My Goddess, anyone?). If you are an avid fan or just curious about what's so great about this guy, then you won't want to miss out on Distant Worlds.

Final Fantasy XIII Ad Banned in UK

The UK isn’t going to stand for Final Fantasy XIII—by this I meant a “misleading” televised ad. In a recent commercial aired in the UK, Square-Enix seemingly went all disingenuous on their viewership when they showcased PS3 footage in a strictly 360 ad.
