Original:





“We at Square Enix are delighted to let you know that the sequel to FINAL FANTASY XIII, FINAL FANTASY XIII-2, is coming next winter. We have a new story in store that stems from the previous title, a battle system that is evolved from “XIII†– and more…
We’re looking forward to sharing more details with you about this exciting new sequel in the future – in the meantime please check out the game logo and first screenshot!”







I’ll be brief… but all I want to say is, or ask is, Squenix . . . are you kidding me?! What happened to the other 2 games you guys were already working on for the XIII name? Are we not ever to see XIII-Versus? Is this game going to make me hate myself for playing it much as X-2 did? In theory, I could see where a sequel can work, but at the same time I can’t. For the sake of not spoiling anything, I won’t go deeper into why, you’ll just have to play the game yourself and find out. And before you bellyache about “how terrible” the game is, I’ve beaten it and have to say it was rather enjoyable. But still… another Final Fantasy #-2 . . . the terrible taste from X-2 still lingers in my mouth, and that was what . . . 8 years ago? Never-the-less I’ll be watching this very closely to see how things develop. Hopefully, they go in a direction I can follow.

UPDATE: Trailer posted on youtube, confirmed to be on the XBOX 360 aswell.




I’ll continue to add things as I find them.

2010… New Decade Has Started. One Year And Counting.

Posted by: Digma 2 @ 1:44 pm Share in Facebook


Well, here we are… it’s January 16th already… I have been a lifeless sack-o-s*** to Anime Courtyard the last several weeks… There haven’t been any updates, no new projects, and no ACRadio. But do not fret, I believe the start to this decade, can also be the brilliant start to Anime Courtyard. We’ve already been around for one whole year! I find it simply amazing that, despite the fact we pretty much have 0 forum users, Anime Courtyard has officially been around for a few days over one year. I, myself need to keep in mind that not ever website takes off like a rocket, and these things take time to really develop. So for now, I think our primary focus is going to be developing into a likable website for people to come and interact with one another. I think I tried to rush some things, force others, and not really do what is needed to help us get going. So, with that said, ACRadio may not be back anytime real soon, but it will be back eventually. I want to find a sure fire solution that offers us flexibility with the radio… The last host I went through, made things easy… but everything seemed so cheap. So, if anyone has any suggestions, let us know at feedback@animecourtyard.com; and really this goes for any suggestions for the site. If you think something would be a grand boost, let us know!


Now comes the part of me talking about how the holidays went for me, and how the year has been going so far! =P *I’ll post some pictures here later when I get some time that I’m not so pressed to get things done. AKA Monday.* The holidays went over rather quite well for me, nothing bad happened, but at the same time nothing that great happened either. I had this big plan to buy myself a PS3 before, or right after Christmas. Needless to say, I spent waaay too much on Christmas, much more than I had planned, and fell short of the before Christmas part. So, I banked on getting a sizable amount of money for Christmas, which to my surprise pretty much did happen, but not quite enough to purchase a PS3. Well, since I did spend so much on Christmas, I didn’t have any money to get me by until the next pay period… So, in order to eat with friends and such during like New Year’s and such, I had to… tap into the PS3 fund. Which I was somewhat saddened by that fact, but not too upset. The last paycheck I was able to hang onto, and thus yesterday went to EB Games in Bloomington, and picked up a Sony refurbished 80GB PS3. So, I completed that part, lmao. Oh, but before Christmas, I did get about the most awesome present. The MEGAHOUSE Sheryl Nome figure that I’ve been wanting for a loooong time. Good ol Cybermario got it for me for Christmas. Absolutely amazing figure. I plan to do a review on it, so maybe I can do that this week, hopefully! So uhm… kind of running out of stuff to talk about. So I think I’m going to end it for now with that. I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday season, and also hope that this new year/decade is proving to be better than then last!

Happy New Year!
