Final Fantasy Versus XIII

Whilst this post doesn't have a specific purpose (how does this make it different from all of your other posts? you may well ask), one of its many vague purposes is to create an environment suitable for using my new user-pic. Another purpose is to point people in the direction of the trailer from which this screenshot came. I know quite a lot of people on my flist are not particularly into FF as much as I am, but I do think (and I really hope this isn't just my bias affecting my judgement) that the new trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII is one of the most beautiful trailers I have ever seen. Put quite simply, I think it's a work of art. And I know that until the PS3 is a few years old, or I suddenly come into large sums of money, I won't be playing this game, but that doesn't really matter. So, where can you find this excellent example of how well the marketing people at Square Enix know their customer base? Well, I found it here, and you'll be wanting the low or medium quality TGS 2006 trailer.

Just as an aside, I wondered whether people would be interested in seeing Stardust and Beowulf this term at the cinemas. Both have Neil Gaiman involved (which can only be a good thing), and whilst I'm not too sure about Beowulf, I've heard pretty good things about Stardust.
