A scan of Dengeki is floating around the Internet, which says the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII will be released in Japan this year. While Square Enix released Final Fantasy XIII on both platforms in North America, it was a PlayStation 3 only title for Japan.
According to the scan, the Xbox 360 version has English voice acting instead of Japanese voiceovers and a new easy mode. The first print run also includes a booklet with unseen event scenes, visual art, and a novel.
The rumored release date is December 16, 2010, almost a year after the PlayStation 3 release.
Thanks to everyone who sent in the tip!
Update: Famitsu also has the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII in their table of contents listed as Final Fantasy XIII Ultimate Hits International. A blurry scan notes this won’t be a full price game like other Ultimate Hits titles (Square Enix’s take on Greatest Hits). Final Fantasy XIII Ultimate Hits International will retail for 4,990 yen ($60).
