Here's a strange cross-promotion for Square Enix and Ubisoft.
The costume worn by Assassin's Creed Revelations main character Ezio Auditore will be available as an optional outfit for Final Fantasy XII-2's Noel Kreiss via DLC. Square Enix says that they'll send along release details for this DLC at a later date.
What is going on here? Ubisoft lending a costume to Square Enix? How is Ezio's getup going to even fit in the zipper and belty world of the later Final Fantasy games? I'd love to see it go the other way around. Maybe Ezio can cross dress in Serah's miniskirt.

I can't wait for Sonic Brotherhood, where Sonic becomes an assassin to battle the evil Templar badniks.
Holy fuck the mobile site is so shitty. Typos don't even have red lines under them in this one inch by one inch box you gave me to comment in.
How about finally giving us Brave Fencer Musashi? Not a fucking costume from the competition.
*badum tish*
Now, if it were a Rayman costume or the PoP 2008 Prince outfit...id probably bite, but no. XIII-2 is still an unessecary, piece of shit. Like XIII...but XIII was nessecary.
/opinions.
No, it has gone down the toilet since Sakaguchi left to start Mistwalker. The Enix bit happened shortly after that when the fall has already begun.
Honestly, FF is one of the few series where change is a bad thing. Take the gameplay of V or IX and combine it with the art style and visuals of the modern day games and you'd have GOTYAY.
Why don't they realize this?
why?
i think Ezio's attire fits as a historical person which is good since this game is all about time traveling :P
maybe Noel had picked this up in a bunch Hay somewhere in Cocoon or someplace :P
i always knew Assassin Creed series IS well known in japan, well not really that big but a good portion of people know the franchise.
heck every Assassins Creed game has been dubbed in japanese(same with Uncharted)
probably one of the few western titles that are known in japan :P
on a sidenote it seems ubisoft has been ignoring Altair lately. then again Ezio's outfit is much silkier and smooth than Altair so that's a plus :P
2. Add a bad ass assassin
3. ?
4.PROFIT!
HAAH WAAW
All I could say to answer that is, look at his Revelations uniform/get-up. Its very belty itself -and I can't even imagine the amount of zippers it'd have if it were AC was a more modern set game.
