Greetings, citizens! ROBOGEEK here helping hold down the fort with a cool tidbit to pass along.
You may have already heard from Dark Horizons or Gamespot, but in case you haven't, Sony's FINAL FANTASY web site is shifting into high gear (and sporting an excellent use of Flash). Even though the groundbreaking computer-animated film (featuring the voices of Ming-Na, Alec Baldwin, James Woods, Donald Sutherland, Ving Rhames, Steve Buscemi, and Peri Gilpin) doesn't come out until next year, the site now features two new (but short) clips of footage from the film in QuickTime 4 format that will be regularly replaced. The site also features some pretty groovy designs.
Sony knows what it's doing here -- mostly. My biggest critique of the site is that the body copy is set in a type way too small to read if your monitor resolution is 1024x768 or higher (like mine). I mean, think about it: a.) this is the 21st century, and b.) anyone who has this movie on their radar this early is probably technologically inclined (and has a 17" or larger monitor). The other thing the site could use are desktop pictures and screensavers, which I assume are coming. And if I were Sony, I'd go ahead and start offering merchandise on the site, too.
