Next Famitsu issue to reveal new FFXIII info; Idolmaster bits

Yep, we may hear something good about Square Enix‘ Final Fantasy XIII soon. According to the latest issue of Famitsu (which also has a nice feature on Idolm@ster‘s sequel), the Japanese magazine will have new FFXIII info come January 25. It didn’t say if we can expect any release dates or a heads up on how far Squeenix is in development, but we’re still excited. Head over to the full article for more details.

The latest issue of Famitsu is big, and not because Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Brawl made it to the list of a few titles with perfect 40/40 scores. The Japanese magazine featured Idolm@ster‘s sequel and even Star Ocean 2, but what piqued our interest the most is the promise of Square Enix‘ Sony PlayStation 3 exclusive Final Fantasy XIII news to appear in the next issue that will reach news stands on January 25.

It’s still uncertain whether anything substantial will surface or not, but Square Enix actually shedding light on what has been under tight wraps so far sounds exciting. Last time we heard of the massive PS3 exclusive was when a British magazine stated that the game will have split-screen events, though there were big revelations back in Jump Festa ’08.

The latest pages of Famitsu were also filled with details pertaining to Idolm@ster Live 4 U! According to translations of the NeoGAF member who posted scans, Namco Bandai‘s latest gig will introduce rhythm-based performances, three levels of difficulty,  and even scoring and feedback to let you know how your little girls are doing.
