They still have to port it to 360 so they couldn't release it outside of Japan before 2010 even if they wanted to.

lol! That'd be hilarious if this is there reason.

Lol, didn't even notice.

OT: hmmm... no.....

Or maybe they are getting extra time to port it to Wii.

No.. its taking so long because they want to release both X360 and PS3 versions at the same time..


bastards..

No, the currency exchange has nothing to do with this. It's the fact that SE has no idea how to make a reasonably sized/costed project and spends years on a single game with the added bonus that they don't work with localization teams until the game is pretty much done instead of getting the script translated asap.

Also, I find it stupendously funny to see people suggesting that the delay for the western version is due to the 360 when SE has never had a simulataneous release of their new, big games in all regions.  FF12 had a 7 mo gap, 9 and 10 both had 5 months.  That's pretty common, and the US getting it ~6 mo later than Japan is exactly what we would have expected if it was still an exclusive.  I can't imagine anyone being so clueless as to believe that the 360 version is causing delays on the US release, but there seem to be plenty of those people nonetheless.

 360 version is holding back the PS3 version once again... confirmed and should I say gimp it as well?

No, it's not confirmed, and only a person who is completely clueless about past FF releases would think so. How old are you? Were you gaming when the last umpteen FF's came out and every single one of them had a half a year gap between JP and NA versions? Seriously, 360 has nothing to do with it and SE's standard business operations have everything to do with it.

so I posted a Phail thread , why the anger lol

I'm 20 btw hehe
