Woohoo to this. Now all we need is some info on Final Fantasy Haeresis XIII. Fingers crossed this will be a DS release for the series and I can die happy.

Nice that it’s multi-platform, just more people get to play it.

I just hope it doesn’t play too much like FF 12 though, I really wasn’t too crazy about the pseudo MMORPG style.. Still, there’s Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant, etc to look forward to.

thanks for the info on that Jarrod.

also bigmac, its already running on the PC, and the pc and 360 are VERY CLOSE. Porting that should be relatively easy. The holdup for both will probably be translation.

What I’m worried about is that S-E mentioned they were bringing out the Japanese FF XIII for ps3 first, and that after releasing it in Japan they are going to begin localization and porting to the 360. Now, S-E also said they were going for a simultaneous 360/ps3 release in the US, right? What bothers me about this is that the PS3 version could be delayed to simply coincide with the 360 release, because porting to 360 hardware would likely take longer than the localizing itself.

UGH!

@bmp

Well, evidently the lack of a JP version is due to the low 360 install base… we’ll see if their attitude changes for International though, I suspect it’s more they just want to focus on getting the PS3 rev out the door asap.

Wada said they’re considering an Asian release though, which makes sense given 360 generally leads in other Asian territories (Korea, Taiwan, etc)

Excellent info, but I’m curious. Does anyone know if there will be an ‘international’ or ‘asian’ version?

I’m hoping for Singapore to get it, their 360 models are considered Japanese region (which is what I have) but the games have English dialouge.

Ugh, it’s going to take so long to get this game in English.

Well, I think Last Remnant heading to PC is a good sign. Plus, their building FFXIII on PC as a base according to Wada…
