Final Fantasy XIII Arrives In North America On March 9

This announcement is big. So big, you may need to step back just to take it all in. Square Enix will release Final Fantasy XIII in North America on March 9, a mere three months after it launches in Japan. Past Final Fantasy games took six months or more to localize.

The video has a brand new clip of the paradigm shift and announced the English theme song, “My Hands” from Leona Lewis. In Japan, Sayuri Sugawara sings a different theme, “Kimi ga Iru Kara.”

Hey, that script… sounded pretty familiar.
