Forums - Gaming - FFXIII: Not till May 2008?

"in Tokyo today, president Yoichi Wada said this about Final Fantasy XIII: "It will still take a bit more time. At the very least, [a release] this fiscal year is definitely out of the question.""

That doesn't surprise me one bit.

ouch. this and Devil May Cry now. I had to sell my PS3 in april (owed some tax money to big brother) and so far im ok with that. The only game that is coming out this year for it that i'm interested in is Assasin's Creed, and even that isn't something that i have to have right away i can wait a year or so if i have to. That just bites hard for people who grabbed the system right away. not only do they have little to play right now they have to wait a substantial amount of time to play some high quality software.



well first of all it bites sony.

I do want to point out its been known since the release of the PS3 that it was going to be a 2008 release. This does push even that back because it was thought to be a early 2008 game but it was not planned for 2007 at all. The thing is this is the release in Japan. It always takes Square Enix a few months to get their games translated and released it used to be thought that FF XIII was going to be a Christmas 2008 release in the US but now I am not sure if it will make it in 2008 in the US at all.

I had heard for awhile that FF13 was a 2007 title in Japan, 2008 title in America. Guess thats not the case anymore.



If we are lucky this will hit the states during Christmas 2008.



I called this a while ago. It will be a mid year release in Japan, and hopefully a holiday season release in the US. FFXII just came out six months ago here, and square it working on a ton of Final Fantasy offshoots and remakes. I don't think the PS3 lack of success is really what caused this so called delay, it's just that Square has a lot of projects they're working on right now.

not surprised. some places even list it as dec 2008 for japan and tbd 2008 US. and ff13 versus says dec 2008 japan, and tbd 2009 in US. Does anyone know when their fiscal year ends? I think most of them are around or after summer time. i suspect the release in japan gotta be fall/winter 2008 around the holidays. maybe they'll do a worldwide launch?
