Those of us die hard Final Fantasy players apparently will have to wait a while before getting our hands on the newest installation, Final Fantasy XIII. Square Enix said that they won’t be releasing it until next April, by next April they mean April 2010.
As Square Enix said, the game wont be released until the next fiscal year which begins in April of 2010 putting the game at the earliest release 15 months from now. I can think back to the first time the game was revealed at E3 back in 3006, this is some major time that they are taking to refine such a highly anticipated game.
Final Fantast XIII still wont be appearing on Microsoft’s Xbox 360 until the Japanese PS3 version has been fully completed. Look at the bright side, if still have plenty of time to play every other Final fantasy through a few times before this one makes it to store shelves.

Whooooa! Talk about late. There are plenty of games right now and in between the date of release so, no big deal. I haven’t even finished XII yet. For any PS3 RPGers out there I recommend Valkyria Chronicles and FallOut 3 among others. Xbox’ers got plenty.

Well, I guess that means I can wait even longer before I buy my ps3, 1+ years, im sure they will go through at least 2 price drops by then. Top of the line ps3 for $250 would be nice…
+1but seriously, this game is taking way to long for release.

Not sure. The first Final Fantasy was meant to be the final game that the developers who created it were to make, but it became such a huge hit that they kept going and for that I am glad.
