PS3 Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII - New Import

From the Publisher
    The world of Gran Pulse is sinking into the sea and what remains is now called Nova Chrysalia. With only thirteen days remaining until the end of the world, Chaos reigns in a world that never ages. New life cannot be born. People need salvation. As Lightning, it is your mission to save as many souls as possible so that they may be brought to the new world. Along the journey, you will encounter familiar faces and engage new foes in all new lands. You must ultimately choose which souls to save and which to abandon and fully understand Lightning's true destiny. It all ends here.

    Several hundred years have passed since she fell into a deep slumber. The world, diseased by Chaos, is on the brink of destruction. The people, hopeless and full of despair, stand by hopelessly and watch the horror unfold in front of their eyes. As the end draws near, she awakens. She is Lightning, humanity's last hope.

    As the chosen one, Lightning battles her way through the final 13 days in an attempt to save humanity and accomplish her ultimate goal.

 "Only 13 days remain until the end of the world."

 LIGHTNING UNDER YOUR CONTROL
    Lightning will be the playable character - with a highly evolved range of techniques for battles and exploring the environment. Customise Lightning with a large range of different outfits and weapons; that affect not only the way she looks, but also her actions and abilities.

 ACTION-ORIENTED COMBAT
    A new battle system gives a level of direct control over the action unlike any FINAL FANTASY game, while having iconic elements that are known and loved throughout the series too.

 A CONSTANTLY MOVING, BEAUTIFUL WORLD
    Stunning artistic direction depicts a doomed world filled with choice and diversity. Living, expansive environments featuring a rising and setting sun provide unique experiences for every player.

 USE YOUR TIME WELL
    A world on a course for total annihilation presents unique challenges; where certain areas, missions, and people will only be available during selected periods. How will you use your remaining time?

 A CONNECTED EXPERIENCE
    Stay connected to FINAL FANTASY and its characters, with unique features that link the in-game world to the real world.

PS2 Saiyuki Reload - Import Sale US$19.90 Free Shipping

Sale Synopsis Update: November 22, 2013
   Brand new and factory sealed 'Saiyuki Reload' game for the Japanese Playstation 2 which includes a copy of the original bonus 'Saiyuki Reload Voice CD' that was given away with the software as a preorder bonus. Our inventory shows 217 copies of this game remaining in our inventory spread out over five cartons. It's unclear what compelled us to purchase that many of this particular title back in 2004 but we're assuming alcohol was involved.

NCS Product Synopsis
Update: March 18, 2004
«©NCSX» Once upon a time in the land of Tougenkyou (Shangri-la), men and demons coexisted in peace. That is, until a rogue band of demons set plans in motion to resurrect the legendary Gyumaou (King of Demons). After that point, the demons went wild and much calamity erupted across Tougenkyou. To stop the resurrection and quell the madness, a powerful monk named Genjou Sanzo is summoned by the Sanbutsushin to quest towards the West with three companions known as Son Goku, Sha Gojyou, and Cho Hakkai.

 

In Saiyuki Reload, players join the quartet and tag along as a helping hand on an original quest. Enjoy the interactive adventuring, card battling and exciting flick-action sequences which show off animated attacks upon demons.
