Final Fantasy XII slips beyond March 2005
And grazes its knee, probably.
Final Fantasy XII won't be out before the end of March 2005, according to comments attributed to Square Enix president Yoichi Wada in the Japanese Asahi Shimbun, although it should be out before the end of 2005.
Said Wada: "there are no plans to release the game within the current fiscal year," which ends on March 31st 2005. This despite the game's fairly strong showing at E3 this year, where it was equally praised and cursed for its art style reminiscent of PlayStation 1 underachiever Vagrant Story.
The PS2 game, the first original single-player Final Fantasy adventure since 2002's Final Fantasy X (we're not counting X-2, obviously), had been set for release in "winter of 2004 to spring of 2005," but no longer. We'll let you know when it gets a firmer release date.

And why don't you count FFX-2 exactly? It was fine. I hear people bitch about that game all the time and they never have any solid reasons for doing so. Most FF fans need to learn to appreciate what they're given and not be such whining little fanboy arses all the time!
FF R0XX0R! SQUENIX SUXX0R!

(We actually liked FFX-2. Gave it 8/10 in fact.)

Basically, FFX-2 HAD everything you could really expect from a 'proper' numbered FF game, not like all those... 'odd' spinoffs like the awful Crystal Chronicles and the 'Just okay' FF Tactics. It was FF as FF is meant to be, and I for one feel it SHOULD be counted amongst the rest of them like it deserves.
So there!

I didn't like CC, and Tactics was okay, but a bit boring. IMO! Just IMO! Shirty bast.

I'm sure the reason behind this delay is to allow them to "Optimize" the game for PAL territories.
