Fancy another countdown? Square-Enix is happy to oblige. The official European Final Fantasy XIII website now features a ticking clock which promises to end on January 28th at 4pm GMT. What happens then? Apparently "a new vision will soon be revealed to the world." If you don't want to risk relying on your memory you can register your details and Square-Enix will email you a reminder when the countdown ends.
We've no clue what this could be. We already know the game won't be out in Europe or the US until 2010, so this seems a little early to start hyping the game up. More than likely it'll be the same info that's been revealed in Famitsu over the last month. We'll find out what it is for sure next Thursday.
Update: America also has its own countdown page. Square Enix says it's "the first of many countdowns to come."

"A new vision"... sounds like it could be some more gamplay footage or footage of some sort. Although, that isn't really that big of a deal to have a countdown for.

Well, except that FF is a Square-side carry-over, not one of Enix's franchises.
Anyway, love RSS feeds, and almost sent this in (maybe I should speed up the frequency of the ConsoleFanboys feeds). Glad to see they've got something set up, and hope to get more ofikly translated infos from them, or at least some shnazzy wallpapers (maybe themes for the PS3s and 360s?).
Also: Snow = Seifer + Azul

Perhaps it will be the announcement of a new character. I'm sure there will be more than 4.

YAY!I think they're... promising... demo? footage? hopefully SOMETHING to keep us drooling for a little longer. The hype is lasting so long I'm wondering if they can hold up to it at all. It's like spore - good game but doesn't match the hype. Fable 1 - TONS of hype, and comparatively a disappointment. Promising this much is rarely a good thing.

In the American countdown site, I right-clicked the countdown and clicked the play button and it brought me to an unplayable video. Does that mean anything?

The Annoucement will be: " We decided that Sazh Kalzroy is an awful name and will be changed. Thank you for your time." *new count down to Sazh's new name appears*

Thanks to their VP: Covenant of the Plume blog post, I thing they mean that there will be many SEPERATE countdowns, for the myriad of games that'll be comin' out. Seems there's at least one more that'll start runnin', and then the slew of updates.
