Forums - Microsoft Discussion - MS "Accidentally" Uploaded FF XIII Webpage... for JAPAN

MS Press Release:

We respectfully and categorically deny all proof of the existence of a 360 Final Fantasy XIII for the NTSC-J region, what you saw was NOT the Japanese text for FFXIII but rather the ingame text of a made-up language in Final Fantasy XIII called Japanesee which is exactly like Japanese...

...only it's not real.

That is all.

@staude
yep, I guess we have to wait and see



 

Enjoy

On second thought:

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/f/finalfantasyXIII/

The US site has the same image with the Japanese text. So this could be indeed some site error... The Japanese page image looks more like a template, maybe all automatic captions?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

1 day PS3 exclusive, and the 360 version will not only be released the day after, but will come with a free xbox360....then Microsoft will declare their victory and say how they beat Sony in their own country.

The Japanese text doesn't seem to say anything of interest either (from my limited knowledge), the logo was the only thing that confused me.

I must say, though that they are very careless to upload info to the wrong page

lol "careless"

 

It's a good marketing move for them. because it might reduce sales of the ps3 game a little for people who hopes for it to come to the 360 in japan.



Check out my game about moles ^

oo perhaps it was a simple mistake.. o.o


anyway  I find it pretty strange that on Inside Xbox japan version they also show FFXIII running on the 360 at the E3 presser I thought.. "why show this when its not being released in japan for 360.. :o








the Japanese in the text simply says final fantasy (fu-ai-na-ru fu-an-ta-shi-i).
That's pretty much standard.

It's obvious that Microsoft is trying it's hardest to make it look like FF13 is on 360 in Japan.
I can't believe there isn't legal issues with this as it's false marketing. Maybe it's just a shade in the clear of the law, because it's never actually said that it's in Japan or something.



Wow Microsoft, you've gone really low. Sad.
