Hope you didn't want FFXIII this year...


Final Fantasy XIII
...because the next installment in everybody's favorite RPG series has been confirmed to be a Japan exclusive for 2009. Sadly, North American audiences can't expect to try the first next-gen Final Fantasy until after April 2010... and if you're in Europe, well, don't hold your breath.

Oh, well. In the meantime, why not go pick up Final Fantasy Legend II? Or Chrono Trigger? Or Dragon Quest IV? Again?

dont buy a ps 3, or any system for that matter, for only one game. research the other great ps 3 games, like the resistance series, the uncharted series, littlebigplanet, and anything else that might make you want something before buying it for FF XIII and Versus XIII

also, this is very disappointing.

ktk3 At least it gives me time to save up for a PS3.... 0.o
yelanatesComment 4: 2009-01-17 08:51
yelanates Well, this just means that I can wait to buy a PS3 till the price drops even more. (one would imagine)

Still, poo.

Tiddles Humour me: if FF13 were your primary reason for wanting a PS3, and you wanted it at a low price, why wouldn't you just buy an Eggbox 360?

I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps it's wanting to be able to play Versus as well?

Having only a 360 myself, I figure I'll get 13 for the 360 whenever it happens to come out; I'm not putting enough faith into it to think that I'll like it enough to want Versus anyway.
NealComment 7: 2009-01-17 15:04
Neal I was also considering waiting for FF13 to buy a PS3, but the secondary motivation there was to have a Blu-Ray player, since I expect it will be around for quite some time. That, and both of my roommates already have 360s.
yelanatesComment 8: 2009-01-18 02:19
yelanates I want to play 13 *and* Versus 13, of which the latter is a PS exclusive. I will never buy an XBox both on principle and because I hate Microsoft products.

The PS3 is worth it as a Blu Ray player, and since I know I will want a Blu Ray player, I may as well get the PS and get my FF fix with it. However, I don't see the need to upgrade to Blu Ray RIGHT NOW, so I can wait until FFXIII comes out.
BlitzSageComment 9: 2009-01-18 04:33
BlitzSage I think it works out for me. Since games are so pricey I'll have to save up for it now so I can buy it in a year.

Terra-FanComment 11: 2009-01-18 15:49
Terra-Fan I couldn't agree more, if square-enix pulls this stunt off...I can only imagine the amount of complaints they'll get....till 2010?! and a euro a faint hope...wtf are they thinking of?

But yeah it better be something frickin amazing to warrent another years wait
laszlowComment 12: 2009-01-18 17:27
laszlow I see what you were trying to do with that last sentence, Karabeth, but we're probably getting FF XIII before we get FF Legend II DS. I mean, we don't even know if we're getting the latter.

But sure, while I wait for FF XIII, I'm going to be playing Dragon Quest V. Again.

I bet you a nickel that you're wrong about that. wink.gif This is only the first delay, and it's more of an official release window than a delay--we haven't even started the delays yet.
Death PenaltyComment 14: 2009-01-18 19:38
Death Penalty Ouch, sad news. More waiting... even though we could've guessed this anway. I suppose this means Versus won't be ready until 2011 sad.gif
yelanatesComment 15: 2009-01-19 16:26
yelanates I would like to point out that gaps between games are always longer when jumping to a new system/gen. For example, the gap between 6 and 7. So this is for me, at least, expected.
