By Brian Ashcraft There isn't a "Final" Final Fantasy. Square Enix keeps going, churning those FF games out — endlessly! The first Final Fantasy was apparently named so because of Square Soft's financial troubles. The game was a smash hit, and Square Soft (and later, Square Enix) continued to make Final Fan...

By TheDoctor Sure the demo is 90 minutes long, but exactly how much will SquareEnix charge for this mini-morsel of Final Fantasy XIII? I'm going to set my limit at around ten dollars, but it'd better include some making of videos, or interviews, or a release date for the actual game.
