A bounty of new Final Fantasy XIII features have appeared today, so we’re combining both articles into this one. It saves time and space, after all. First up, the controls have been detailed on Kotaku, complete with a picture of the Dual Shock 3 labelled with the actions the buttons do. Granted, that’s all in Japanese, but Kotaku have translated it all for you anyway, so go look if you really like controls or Dual Shock 3s.

Second (and last) is a lot of new gameplay footage from Gamepro, that you can go and see over at VG247. We’ve got one of the videos posted after the break. The game releases in Japan on December 17th, making a lot of Japanese people happy and a lot of non-Japanese people sightly miffed at said Japanese people. There’s still no date for release elsewhere.
