Some of you may notice the building as the same used to promote the latest entries in the Grand Theft Auto Series, but Square Enix have now managed to get their hands on it, erecting an enormous poster to promote Final Fantasy XIII's presence at this years E3.

The advert also goes to confirm that the game will be released in North America no sooner than 2010.

[ Discussion in the Final Fantasy XIII Forum ]

Vanille, Snow, and Lightning from FINAL FANTASY XIII! Oh yes we did. A beauty, isn't it? We've been anxiously waiting for this day for months now, and to watch it finally materialize is a great feeling to say the least. These photos were taken a few days ago, but it is now completed. If you're in the area, we suggest you go to the corner of S. Figueroa Street and Olympic Boulevard in Downtown Los Angeles, and look up. You really have to see it for yourself.

With E3 right around the corner, it's pedal-to-the-metal mode for us here at Square Enix, which means very late nights (or early mornings, depending on how you see it) and more fast food than you can imagine. There are some big things planned for you, so we're all excited about this year's E3. We've got a great lineup of products to show and word in the office is that our booth will be quite the sight. No, I take that back. It's going to be AWESOME. It's a shame that we won't be able to share it with all of you, but if you're in the Los Angeles area, you definitely have to come check us out. From familiar heroes to new villains, soul-absorbing books to majestic keys, and floating cities to devilish towers, there's something for everyone. It's a good time to be a fan.

Anyway, that's all we can share with you today. We look forward to seeing you at E3! And be sure to check out MEMBERS during the first week of June. We'll keep you close to all the action

    Isn't it a bit early to be advertising a game that won't come out for 3 years yet? =P

    I love that building. There's a different movie or game ad on it every time I pass through.

    Not a huge fan of Final Fantasy (except Tactics), but that's still pretty cool.

    So this is why Chinatown Wars didn't sell.

      Chinatown Wars didn't sell because it was a mature game on a kids console.

        Chinatown Wars didn't sell because people couldn't see pass it's over the top classic camera view.

        People are idiots. Not because it was a kiddy console.

          I believe it's this and the fact that it didn't get as much promotion as other GTA games, which is a real shame. Because it's just as good.

          On topic though, just curious, am I the only one that feels like Square Enix is jumping the gun too early for advertising the game like this?

          Square Enix always jump the gun on revealing there games. FFXII and FFXIII were advertised what 4-5 years before their release? And FXIII Versus will probably be 6-7.

        Or it could be that it was released during one of the worst economic downturns of our time.

    That's pretty sick. I'll definitely keep a lookout for the building while I'm in LA next weekend.

    Finally, i've been waiting for Final Fantasy XIII to come out. I defenitely get this game. I own so many series of Fina Fantasy. This is my favorite type of game. On my opinion, the best Role-Playing game.
