Japanese publisher responds to reports claiming RPG will not arrive in Europe until 2010
Japanese developer and publisher Square Enix has told MCV that the European release date for Final Fantasy FXIII has yet to be decided.
The comments come after a Forbes interview with Square Enix president Yoichi Wada in which it is claimed that the exec stated that the game would be released in 2009 in Japan but would not see light of day in Europe until “the business year from April 2010 or later”.
However, a spokesperson from the European arm of Square Enix has told MCV: “The launch dates of FFXIII are still to be determined and will be revealed in due course. Please wait for future announcements.”
Square Enix rocked the world last year when it confirmed at E3 that Final Fantasy XIII would be released on Xbox 360 alongside PS3 in all territories outside of Japan – the first time a numbered FF title has not been a PlayStation exclusive at launch.

Actually.......
If FF XIII is going to launch in Japan before any other territories then it WILL be a Playstation exclusive at launch.
Are you kidding?
It better flipping not be, they better be kidding, thats like 16 months, are they taking the mick, this better be the best game in the series, oh well back to playing FF12 (again)
Re: What is the fuss???
what is the big fuss about this game can anyone tell me? I have never understood why this game is so overly hyped
lol
lol i was going to get a ps3 soon but now ive changed my mind since ff is not out till 2010
Re: lol
to be honest I'd rather they remade FF7 with the advent children style than any more of these.
Re: Re: lol
yeah, a re-make of ff7 would definately topple the gaming world. i say it would probably be the best seller (again). but, i would definately hope that ffverses13 would beat ff7. i think you all will know why after you've seen the trailer...
ffvii remake
dont get me wrong i loved ff12 but they get more and more out of whack with the newer story lines i agree remake FFVII and we will all be happy
