Nearing its release of August 23rd, TV commercials for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates began broadcasting across Japan today.
The first one showcases the multiplayer mode, or how an actress and marketers have fun on the weekends, getting together to play DS, 'cos we're all gamers now in this day and age! See that look of amazement on the woman's face at the start? She ain't looking at the game - she's checking out her bank statement after this commercial aired.
The second commercial showcases gameplay in the single-player mode, and has less propaganda. The lack of marketing push-push in this one seems even...unnerving. As if Square-Enix just knows you'll go out and buy it, pretty woman or not.
Without further ado, check them out, and don't hesitate to post a comment! The lonely comments section needs a good ol' troll right about now...

Final Fantasy VII Party Like It's 1997
According to +D Games, Square-Enix will hold a special event commemorating the 10th Anniversary of Final Fantasy VII, from August 31st to September 3rd.
It will be held at "Spiral Garden" in Aoyama, Tokyo (a trendy area where a gaming otaku would probably not step into...zing!), and will showcase concept artwork and illustrations from FFVII as well as its milk-offs, err, spin-offs Before Crisis - Final Fantasy VII (for cellphones), Final Fantasy Advent Children, otherwise known as What Spirits Within Should Have Been, Dirge of Cerberus - Final Fantasy VII (known in some circles as Vincent Fanservice), and finally the upcoming PSP title Crisis Core - Final Fantasy VII, slated for a September 13th release.
Square-Enix will also be showing off promotional videos of each title, catering to the nostalgic crowd, thus making the ever-hopeful clamor even more for a Final Fantasy VII remake.

Square-Enix Creates Chocobo Portal Site...More Games To Follow?
Square-Enix has just opened up a portal site for all things chocobo. Currently only a bare-bones website, it hosts two separate sections: "Game" and "History." The History page has a listing of all past Chocobo games, such as the Nintendo DS title (known outside of Japan as Final Fantasy: Chocobo Fables), as well as older Mysterious Dungeon games on the original PlayStation.
The "Game" section takes you to the official site of the upcoming Wii game, Chocobo's Mysterious Dungeon: Labyrinth of Forgetting. The page features only two sections so far (Story and Specs), and everything else displays a "Coming Soon" animation.
Opening up a portal site for chocobo games? That only means one thing - more and more chocobo games to milk, err, follow. Keep an eye on this site!
