YK: I'd say that it's on schedule as we'd originally planned, but it certainly hasn't been easy, and it's been quite a time-consuming process. FFXIII currently functions in all the basic ways, but we're still working to polish the engine. People may be under the impression that it's a total package that only needs to be tweaked a little bit in order to port the game to 360, but that's not the case -- we still have to fix it to make it more platform-specific."

This is what will anger people that bought a PS3 for FF XIII. That it will certainly take longer to release due to a 360 port. Xmas 2010 is starting to sound optimistic.

I think it can make it to Japan next year. They will have been doing coding, they could not have had their whole team on writing the story (which better be incredible). I would expect 6 months between US and Japan release. I assume after they complete the content for XIII JP and start bug testing, they will probably start porting and localising, so that should speed up the transition
