Awesome catch! I haven't heard anything in particular, but it looks like Square Enix is washing the anime look out to make Star Ocean 4 look more super sci-fi or something. Wow! Awesome catch!

One odd thing I noticed is that the Japanese and English versions are different. The Japanese one has anime menu and battle portraits, faces next to dialogue, and a solid blue and yellow menu.

Most of them are pretty boring though. NY may not have subway ads, but you have Times Square for crazy video game promotions :) I try to take pictures of all the unique VG ads I spot.

Square Enix made real gold from this game's contract with MS it seems even more than the money MS already gave Square they contracted to advertise it and they will maybe advertise FF13 too ,
like Nintendo and Dragon Quest 9,10 where Iwata said they will advertise them heavily inside and outside Japan.
So they get money and free advertisement for all their upcoming big games, of course it still nothing against the 100s of millions MS invested on Bethesda RPGs advertisements.

I love it when you take photos of video game ads from all over the world. Hopefully I could travel to Japan and Hong Kong in the new few years, I would definitely visit Causeway Bay. Wonder if there will ever be a day NY has a clean subway system w/ these cool ads, that would make commute a lot more enjoyable. Very neat.
