Rare Japanese Weekly Famitsu No.999, published on February 15, 2008, shortly before the magazine’s landmark 1000th issue.

This issue is especially collectible for its early coverage of Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII, Square Enix’s ambitious multimedia project.

Featured content includes:

• Final Fantasy XIII
• Final Fantasy Versus XIII
• Early material related to the project that later became Final Fantasy XV
• Lightning
• Noctis
• Early character, battle, and world information
• Fabula Nova Crystallis project overview
• Special No.999 commemorative content
• Historical Famitsu features leading into issue No.1000

The Final Fantasy Versus XIII material is particularly interesting because the project remained in development for many years before eventually being reworked and released as Final Fantasy XV.

This is an excellent historical reference piece for collectors of Final Fantasy, Square Enix, Japanese gaming magazines, and early-development video game material.

The magazine is entirely in Japanese.

Only the magazine shown in the photos is included.
