So first came a countdown timer on Square-Enix's Final Fantasy 13 website. Then the fruits of that countdown, a new trailers for number 13 in the INSANELY popular role-playing series. The recent announcement that the game will be released exclusively in December on Playstation 3 (well for japanese fans anyway) is of little comfort for fans of the series here in the UK and the west. The games western release is now pencilled in for the second quarter of 2011, yes 2011. I cant understand how a company with the resources of Square-Enix can't get localisation issues dealt with sooner. Then again many a Sony fanboy has cried "Its taking so long because then can't release the playstation 3 version in the west before the Xbox 360 versions ready!" long before now. Square-Enix have stated that work on the Xbox 360 version won't begin until the completion of the Playstation 3 version. In conclusion Square-Enix has no problem making many a gamer their bitch as unless they know Japanese its gonna be a long wait.P.S. Keep dreaming fans I'm sure one day the FF7 remake is on the way!
