Deny, Deny, Deny. Then at 11th hour surprise FFXIII is coming to X360 as well as PS3 in early 2010, Japan Xmas 09' - PS3 only. Localisation of games only takes a few months. Games are translated into other languages while they make the game.

Lost Odyssey released in Japan only two months before releasing in Europe and America. FFXIII will release in Japan a few months in front of Europe and America.

Localization for FFXIII would only be a few months...if it were still PS3 exclusive. Considering SE said they weren't even going to start DEVELOPING the 360 version until the PS3 version is done (supposedly Winter 2009), then they have to do the porting, THEN the localization. Late 2010 is my guess for getting FFXIII stateside

 

Do I really have to post the Japanese release dates of Final Fantasy titles and the western release dates AGAIN? A few months? Laughable.

Final Fantasy VII: 1/97 (JPN), 9/97 (NA), 11/97 (EUR)

Final Fantasy VIII:  1/99 (JPN), 9/99 (NA), 10/99 (EUR)

Final Fantasy IX: 7/00 (JPN), 11/00 (NA), 2/01 (EUR)

Final Fantasy X: 7/01 (JPN), 12/01 (NA), 5/02 (EUR)

Final Fantasy X-2: 3/03 (JPN), 11/03 (NA), 2/04 (EUR)

Final Fantasy XII: 3/06 (JPN) 10/06 (NA), 2/07 (EUR)

On average Final Fantasy titles hit Japan just over 6 months before their North American localizations and nearly 10 months before their European localizations. Now maybe your definition of a "few months" is different than mine.
