Square Enix confirms FFXIII date News
PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Update: The date has been confirmed. The price, with tax, is ¥9240 (£60.54).
Square Enix is expected to confirm a 17th December Japanese release for Final Fantasy XIII today at a special Tokyo Premiere Party that starts at 7pm JST (11am UK).
The announcement was pre-emptively spoiled by an online advertising campaign on YouTube Japan which, when its URL was changed to contain "After", displayed the December date. Oops. Fansite FinalFantasy-XIII.net had the scoop.
Final Fantasy XIII won't appear in Europe until next year, of course, when an Xbox 360 version will be added to the inventory. That's a work-in-progress at the moment, but will eventualy launch simultaneously with the PS3 game when the bunnies arrive in spring.
Head over to our Final Fantasy XIII gamepage to find out much more.

if the date is correct it seems that xmas could be wrapped up in JAPAN by the ps3. in surveys FF13 is the most anticapited release and if you combine this with ps3 slims sucess,sony have a very good chance of keeping the ps3 sales figures high. i also think japans 150,000 3 day figure may be partly fueled by FF13 as much as the price cut/size reduction.

There's no chance of this having an English option, so stop hoping.
And this is one of the few games where £60 is actually justifiable, give it's been in development since the second World War and has cost about as much as the second World War to develop. Plus it's a game that will have at least 60 hours worth of gameplay in, so £60 doesn't seem so bad. It won't be that much when it comes out over here anyway, so don't fret. |

Not fussed if it's £60 although I'm sure you'll be able to get it for less even if that ends up being the RRP.
Same with Modern Warfare 2 for me, I won't bother unless I can get it for £30. The first one is a good game but nothing special apart from the graphics - the fact that it featured in the top 10 of anything in the last 10 years is laughable... oops off topic... |

Final Fantasy games are for girly men who like crying and dressing up as women.

@ZuluHero
Dont bother wondering that. Way too many tards and kiddos checking the comments and get even in the articles to rate ppl from, what THEY SEE AS, opposing team etc so the comment ratings shouldnt bother you just as much easily your post hads nothing offensive, nothing naive, nothing supporting a consile in a misserable way ( fannboism ) nor , lets just plainly say "stupid". So dont even worry about the ratings :) If you get sucked to it itw ill make the comment part of the website worthless and pointless for the casuals ;) So yeah, pretty clamsy the spoiler with the advert on the vid. Hope the gme is as much fun as it should for a FF title is all i care about when it ends up in my console :p |

Yes, the main Final Fantasy games have always retailed at a larger price in Japan than most games. It very rarely leads to an increased western price.
Plus as others have said exchange rates are a factor. Currently thinking this one over, I'm hoping for a Japanese language track in the UK/US PS3 version but if there isn't I'm quite tempted by the idea of importing. |

Well i've been looking forward to this. I played a lot of FFVII and VIII at a friend's house (had no consoles between MegaDrive and GameCube).
Glad that it's not too long after Japan for a western release. Just remind yourselves how bad these things used to be. However if they're asking for £60 then I can wait. I won't pay that. As an aside, it's a shame they don't seem to want to release Yakuza 3 here. Oh well |

"Mid-December for 60 quid."
if this is released at a 'premium price' (wtf)... they can suck my hairy under-regions. £30-£35 is the most I will pay for a game these days. Even if I sometimes secretly contemplate traveling to Japan and selling my extra internal organs for a chance to play FF13 on launch day :S CoDMW2 will stay out of my machine until I find a decent priced pre-owned copy -> so that none of my money ever makes its way back to Actifuckers. |
