In conjuction with Squaresoft, Sony and their last great bask of consumerism the Sony Metreon in San Francisco, California, has organized for gamers to get a taste of Square's upcoming Final Fantasy Chronicles. The event, which runs from 5 pm to 10 pm on Tuesday, July 10, 2001, at the Sony Metreon, features several opportunities for fans and gamers to show off some of their costume-making skills and to ham it up in a costume contest, and to play the Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy Chronicles at dozens of kiosks. For those who love collectibles, rare FF artifacts, autographed art, and other Final Fantasy goodies will be auctioned off, with proceeds going to The Academy of Art College in San Francisco. Also, a raffle will be held to give away 125 free tickets to see Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within at 11 pm that same night. Other raffle prizes include T-shirts, lunchboxes, skateboards and posters.

If you are in the area, please make a point to stop by and get the goods.
