Last Final Final Fantasy XIII Trailer Released

1

Square-Enix released the last Final Fantasy XIII trailer earlier today. Showcasing never before witnessed segments, this is the final trailer set to be released before the official release in Japan in just three short weeks. With everything leading up to the launch, Square-Enix certainly went out with a bang with the trailer. Some of the trailer features previous footage from older trailers, but a lot of the content is new. As with previous titles, Final Fantasy XIII should be one of the most emotional entries of the legendary saga.
