The German MTV Game Awards 2008 took place yesterday and surprisingly Final Fantasy XIII was entered into a category. It may seem so far away but the huge amount of excitement surrounding the title got it entered into the "Do believe the hype" category.

It seems that even though the game is taking forever, the anticipation for it is just as huge as it was 2 years ago. It won the award and although he couldn't attend the show, Yoshinori Kitase, the producer of Final Fantasy XIII left a video message accepting the award. The reason he said he couldn't attend was because "the development of Final Fantasy XIII is right now at a very important stage". The nominations video has been uploaded to Youtube and can be viewed below.

Update: Thanks once again to Vaios, we have the full video of the MTV award for the "Do believe the hype" category with English subtitles, including the video message from Kitase at the end. In the message he says he'd like to do a promotional tour around Europe for the launch of Final Fantasy XIII.



Thanks a lot to Vaios for sending in the tip.
