The other day, someone acquired a copy of the moonspeak Japanese build of Final Fantasy XIII, and through the magic of the internets, broadcast a live stream of about 20 minutes of gameplay online. Approximately 10 seconds after the stream went down, the footage appeared on YouTube for all the world to see. And now it’s here.

The footage is pretty much what you should expect- a lot of shooting and jumping and real-time RPG fighting, but it looks really good. It’s almost exactly like the trailer we saw at E3 eons ago, which is a great thing. The best thing about this gameplay is that it confirms that the game is on the right track to be released later this year on the PS3, and sometime in the future for the Xbox 360.

I'm pretty sure they didn't make that up, not to mention that that was supposed to be crossed out in the post. My bad. And even if 4chan did make it up, one word will never turn us into 4chan.
