Nothing major, but SE's newsletter for this Month mentions the Crystal Bearers:

Looks like we'll be seeing the American site updating sometime soon.

 

[AceBandage]

Another site renewal?
Hmm.

 

[Meesh]

That logo reminds me of 80's rock bands, leotards, spandex, zebra print crop tops, neon colors, crazy huge hair,...must be a new FF

 

[ivysaur12]

With the launch of a US site, that must mean that we can't be that far away from release

Spoiler

please?

 

[BasicUAE]

Also, the soundtrack will be co-composed by Ryo Yamazaki. Note: this guy is great. By the way, those who wonder if Iwasaki is good, please listen to "Deliverance" from Front Mission 5.

Wow thank you, Sir.

For the lazy.

 

[Shadowlink]

I hope for a release date with the site renewal

Got that email too. Maybe they'll release it this year.

Earlier in the thread somebody commented on hopes of a Simultaneous worldwide release but Dragona replied:

Now now, no one has said that.

So the chances don't look good. Maybe SE is just treating this like FFXIII. They've been giving out updates on their Official Japanese, North America, and European sites for the game but its obvious FFXIII wont be coming out soon after it does in Japan.

I thought she was just replying to the "simultaneous worldwide release" bit, not that it won't come out anywhere this year...

When was the last time SE had simultaneous worldwide release?

 

[u_neek]

Infinite Undiscovery and The Last Remnant had simultaneous worldwide releases...

 

[GoldandBlue]

12 screenshots. All old but they're in English now.

[pakkit]

Please release this ye-

 

[GoldandBlue]

Oh, North America website update:

[Fuu]

Woohoo! It obviously happens when I stop checking. :lol

There's an unclickable preorder button on the layout. I'd love having a release date on E3.

 

[Fantastical]

That music is fantastic! :O
I love it!

I guess this will at least be mentioned at E3 now? I mean, it's looking like this is near completion or getting there and the website opens now. Seems like a good time for some release date news.

I'm pretty excited for this.

I think a date at E3 is expecting a little too much but I'm hoping at least for a brand new trailer.

 

[pakkit]

I'd just like to say that the music is fuck awesome.

Also, seeing as the game is still unrated, I wouldn't expect a release until Winter.

 

[GDGF]

There's gotta be something for this at E3. And I bet it will be awesome.

 

[Olaeh]

Such good music. Story sounds good too. That pre-order button raises my spirits.

 

[Fantastical]

I don't see it coming out this year...

 

[Linkhero1]

The music on the site is so good. I left the tab open for a few minutes and don't think I'll ever close it haha.

I've just been listening to it over and over again.

 

[Nicktals]

Love the design for Amidatelion. Also love the music. Very excited to see more at E3. And it'd better be there.

 

[BorkBork]

Oh my.

Music doesn't sound Final Fantasy.

I mean that in a VERY GOOD WAY.

 

[Shadowlink]

Yea the music sounds pretty good!

 

[Linkhero1]

I've just been listening to it over and over again.

Honestly I wasn't sold on this game just yet (Not really into FF franchise), but the music is so awesome. Day 1.

 

[Vinci]

Great music and fairly distinct from other FF soundtracks. Which is good - nice to see the game getting such a unique feel and personality. [Layle obvoiusly also does a lot for this.]

Also: There is a LOT of future potential for games with crystal-imbued characters as the central thrust of the narrative. Seriously, it's a nice way of allowing for superhero or supervillain style characters within a fantasy context.

 

[Deku]

I hope Kumi Tanioka is still composing some of the tracks.

[shykyoichi]

I don't see it coming before FFXIII.

 

[AceBandage]

I don't see it coming before FFXIII.

13 still has 3 years of development time left. This only has like 1.

 

[batbeg]

Wow. I wasn't expecting such a beautiful, sombre piece of music. This is utterly fantastic, easily on par with Tanioka's FFCC work. I'm not too worried if she isn't behind the reins on this one, to be honest, the music we've been hearing has all been good so far.

 

[Combine]

Alright, that truly is one of the best pieces of music I've heard recently. This game has really just been giving me such a great vibe, especially due to Layle and the setting. It's been a while since I've actually been anticipating a JRPG pre-release.

 

[ivysaur12]

That music is fantastic. Everything about this game seems incredible, I can't wait to hear more at E3.

 

[king zell]

i think that this week Jump got a new preview for the game.

 

[NetMapel]

I concur with everybody here that the website music is good.

 

[GDGF]

Please oh please oh please let this one be at E3 (and you guys are right on about the music)

 

[Feep]

I would ask someone to rip the track from the site, but it's only fifty seconds long-ish. I guess I'll just wait till a proper release. = P

[CTLance]

Thanks for the music rip.

Can't wait to hold this game in my hands. OST CD preorder bonus plz kthx.

 

[king zell]

jump scan is up and the game is looking good

 

[Fuu]

Those screens with the dragon (Bahamut?) look like another aerial battle (unless it also takes place during that one in the prologue).

 

[Sadist]

Great music indeed.

 

[APZonerunner]

That music is fantastic! :O
I love it!

It's playable on the show floor. I've also got an interview with the director of this game.

Hmmm, lovely. Small glimmer of a hope that it'll be out this year worldwide.
