No, you didn't just miss the release of "Final Fantasy XIII." Square Enix is just sorta jumping the gun a bit, and 1UP captured some gameplay of "Final Fantasy XIV" running on the show floor at GamesCom 2009.
You'll have to excuse the German (unless you're German), but the video does give you a good sense of, well, running around and fighting monsters. Good to hear they've got that tricky part down. People had some issues with the steep learning curve in "Final Fantasy 11," so here's hoping this one's a bit more kind to newbies. The video doesn't seem to imply that it will be, but hey, ya never know!
