Square Enix, apparently, is all about the cosplay. Just today, the publisher announced that it'll be rewarding the first 50 people dressed in "Final Fantasy costumes" who arrive at the March 9 launch event for Final Fantasy XIII with a free copy of the game's soundtrack. Oh, and also, Square Enix producer Yoshinori Kitase and art director Isamu Kamikokuryo will be there, signing whatever you want.
The release further entices attendees with "high-profile DJ and TV presenter Alex Zane," who'll no doubt be spitting hot fire into a mic all evening. The event kicks off at 5:30PM at the Oxford Street HMV in London and runs until the sun comes up -- or 7:30PM, whichever comes first.

I'd never heard of him (for a minute I thought I knew who it was but then I realised, no that's Zane Lowe - now that I do know, this doesn't particularly seem like an improvement), so yeah, you learn something new every day.
You'd think they could pick somebody more relevant to games, or to, errr, fantasy, or even, um, finals? ('This is [whoever], and he was in the team that won the Cup *Final* last year, now he's presenting our *Final* Fantasy event... do you see what we did there?')

Wish I could be there... A signed copy of a Final Fantasy game would probably we worth some moneis. I would definitely bring my copies of VII and VIII.

Not only that, but Alex Zane is "high profile".
Why can't these publishers pick good hosts? Modern Warfare 2 had Vernon Kay, FFXIII has Alex Zane.
Britain has better talent offer than these morons...no, honestly, we do! No, really!

DJ's usually aren't the ones 'spitting hot fire into a mic' that's usually the MC

I have a bad feeling that it's also co-sponsored by Microsoft.

I wish this game would hurry up and come out already! Not so I can buy it but so I don't have to read about it anymore.
/how about making an old-school FF game Square??!?!?! See Capcom for advice.
