A2 Japanese release

Lately we've been posting nothing at all, but that's because there's nothing happening in the world of Square Enix, but we'll drop you this little piece of greatness for the NDS.

Since it's release date on Japan, the most anticipated Final Fantasy serie for the NDS, Grimoire of the Rift has been dominating the sales charts.

Rated 34/40 from Famitsu, marks the era of NDS titles. It wasn't the story that attracted most of the fans and players, but the many jobs and customization options.

While Japan is flourishing with this game, North America and Europe is still waiting for a release day.
