In celebration of the release of FINAL FANTASY XIII, Square Enix is hosting two special events on March 8, 2010 in San Francisco.

At the FINAL FANTASY XIII EXPERIENCE–a fan-focused, daytime event which will take place across two sessions of two hours each–attendees will enjoy the game first hand, browse a gallery of stunning artwork, view trailers and meet the development staff. Some lucky fans will also win fantastic raffle prizes at the event.

A select group of guests will also be invited to the FINAL FANTASY XIII LAUNCH PARTY to take place later in the evening. Industry luminaries such as Gas Powered Games' Chris Taylor (Supreme Commander), Microsoft Game Studios' Corrinne Yu (Halo), and FINAL FANTASY XIII director Motomu Toriyama will celebrate the FINAL FANTASY series and its latest iteration.

SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS is offering an opportunity to win one of 200 invitations for two to the FINAL FANTASY XIII EXPERIENCE. Additionally, Bronze members and above have a chance to win one of 50 invitations for two to the FINAL FANTASY XIII LAUNCH PARTY as part of our biggest sweepstakes yet.
