Storage is not the reason for the delayed localized releases. Blame the French, the German and the Spanish. But donīt think Blu-ray has anything to do with it.

"Naturally, in a perfect world, we would also love to have the game released simultaneously worldwide," Kawazu concedes. "Realistically speaking, there are a lot of reasons that make that impractical. One of those is of course the sheer volume of the content in the game - it's very huge.

taken from the man himself, i think PS3 can read upto 200GB Blu-ray discs max, so personally they have no excuse on the PS3.

He isnīt talking about file sizes though, heīs talking about how much there is to translate content wise.

200 GB Blu-ray discs are highly experimental and I doubt very much that even a firmware upgrade would allow the PS3 to handle these in the future as the laser probably isnīt cut out to handle them. Iīm hoping it can read 50 GB discs though but these are very new to the market so who knows.

Yeah, it can do 50GB discs. They haven't talked about anything beyond 50GB though so I doubt it'll go past that.

I think it's more to do with getting money back sooner

I get it! I get jokes! /Taps boss music on desk

He says "very much" too often. Other than that, it was a good read ;-)

I don't think simultaneous launches will ever happen with games with as much localized content as FF, unless they withhold the release in Japan for a while. Which wouldn't make much sense. I guess simultaneous US/UK launches will be possible though in the next generation, since the refresh rates will be the same (I think?).

Cool interview. Was it done in Japanese or does he speak English?
