Final Fantasy Characters Showcase Prada 2012 Men's Spring/Summer Collection in Collaboration First

LONDON, April 4, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

            Square Enix(R) and Arena Homme+ play with the realms of reality in an

          exclusive CGI shoot for the Prada 2012 Men's Spring/Summer Collection

    Square Enix Ltd [http://www.square-enix.com/eu/en ]., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX(R)
interactive entertainment products in Europe and across PAL territories, today announces
that two brands from different realms: fashion and video gaming, have come together in the
latest issue of Arena Homme+ where characters from the recent game FINAL FANTASY(R) XIII-2
showcase Prada's 2012 Spring/Summer men's collection as part of the 25th Anniversary
celebration of the FINAL FANTASY series.

    In the latest issue of Arena Homme+ which goes on sale on Thursday 12th April, a cast
of characters from FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 including Lightning, Noel, Snow, Sazh and Hope are
styled for action as they step out of their usual outfits and into Prada.

    "Our Spring issue focuses on a world of direction and escapism, and having a visually
stunning videogame franchise such as FINAL FANTASY work alongside us and a leading fashion
brand like Prada to create something so unique is incredible," said Max Pearmain, Editor
of Arena Homme+. "I've always been interested by the power of videogames and their place
in society, and the amount of work that's gone into this project blows my mind. We're
incredibly pleased with the result."

    Yoshinori Kitase, Producer of FINAL FANTASY XIII-2, added, "The FINAL FANTASY series
is known for its creativity and innovation; so working with Prada, a renowned fashion
house with such beautiful clothing, was a very exciting opportunity. The images we have
been able to create together are vibrant and unique."

    The CGI (computer generated imagery) transformation was a task that was undertaken by
Square Enix's world leading Visual Works studio in Japan, working alongside the FINAL
FANTASY character designers. The 12 page feature includes key looks from Prada's S/S12
men's collection, regarded by many as one the best of the season, with key pieces
including printed silk shirts and sharp modern suiting.

    The article that accompanies the images in the magazine is written by British
journalist and author Steven Poole. Steven is a literary columnist for the Guardian and a
respected videogame industry veteran, primarily recognised for penning the well-known book
on the aesthetics of videogames called Trigger Happy, as well as his monthly column in the
UK's world-renowned videogame magazine entitled EDGE.

    FINAL FANTASY XIII-2, the latest instalment in one of the best-selling and most
critically acclaimed video game franchises of all time is now available for the
PlayStation(R)3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360(R) video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft.
