The Koalitions Final Fantasy XIII Launch Party Official Footage

Gary A Swaby — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:30:57 +0000

This past Tuesday, Final Fantasy XIII was released simultaneously in the western world. To celebrate the release of the game, HMV held an exclusive launch party in London (Oxford Circus). The producer (Yoshinori Kitase) and the art director (Isamu Kamikokuryo) of the game came all the way to London to sign autographs for all their hardcore fans in the UK. Of course I had to go there, to get you guys some exclusive coverage from the event.

In this video you’ll see interviews with fans, cheer’s and boo’s and the full show hosted by popular UK personally Alex Zane. I have also attached some pictures from the event. There wasn’t too much cosplay, but there was some. So right after you see all this footage make sure you go check out my colleague Jowin’s music video Cosplay Girl.

I would like to give a shout out to Marty, who was a fan at the party. We interviewed him, and we even helped him get some extra stuff signed. It felt great to do something for the fans. Thanks also to Liam Mcmahon (from HMV) for all the help and support.
