Final Fantasy XIII scheduled for March 2010 EU/NA simultaneous release

16 09 2009

4  videos of the Final Fantasy XIII’s Premiere Party speeches have been posted on Gametrailers.com: the release date announcement, the Final Fantasy XIII elixir announcement and the 2 speeches of  Kaz Hirai and Yoshinori Kitase/Motomu Toriyama. Sadly the videos don’t include any new footage but they include a rather surprising announcement that was misunderstood by several gaming sites:

Yoshinori Kitase:

In the past it would be six months to almost a year after the initial release in Japan, so we’re hoping to narrow the margin down. We hope it will only be three months after the Japanese release.

 Unfortunately it isn’t possible to embedd Gametrailers or Youtube videos so I will have to post the link instead. The 4 speeches/announcements could be found here (Under the “Newest” tab)

With English translations and voice acting as well as French and German translation already completed, I think this is highly possible.  Of course Square Enix said in the past that the game needs to be released after April 2010 to fit in their fiscal year but for such a big tittle they might make an exception isn’t it?

"Hope" it will be 3 months......so its POSSIBLE for it to be a march 2010 release!

i said april... lets wait and see

Or perhaps Final Fantasy will march in May?

March 2010 screws up my whole game buying schedule, I would have to reconfigure. Next spring is fat with games.

IF S-E manage to do this

SONY will make their 13 Million PS3's SHIPPEd predictions blindfolded

FF13 + GOW 3 in ONE MONTH = retailer console stuffing to the max!

I just hope us Europeans don't get the bad end of the deal as usual. We have to wait almost another 6 months after the NA release of every FF game, so that means we usually get the game a year after the game is released in Japan, so if they can narrow that margin to 3 months would be the best move for S-E towards us EU FF lovers xD, hell, even 6 months would be good as well.

I hope the sooner the better. I'd want to play and fully complete the game before I like go on vacation for the summer 2010.

*Drools*

Oh stop it Darth :P I swear if I could, I would GIVE you all 1400 of my vg$.
