Well I just got an e-mail from Square Enix earlier today regarding the release of Final Fantasy XIII for PS3 and X-box 360. Which is.... March 9, 2010 I know this is more than likely old news but I personally find this wonderful news to share. --- Here's what the e-mail said, Influential and always pushing new boundaries, FINAL FANTASY has transcended generations and cultures for over 20 years. Behind each entry in the series is a team of the most talented minds devoting years of their craft to create. Now, the creative minds that brought you FINAL FANTASY VII and FINAL FANTASY X take the acclaimed series into an entirely new realm with FINAL FANTASY XIII, an entry that touts the series' most impressive cinematic experience, once again setting the new standard in RPG gaming. Square Enix is truly excited to announce that FINAL FANTASY XIII will be released on March 9, 2010. The much anticipated FINAL FANTASY XIII is the first FINAL FANTASY title developed specifically for high-definition consoles, and also marks the beginning of a brand new chapter in the franchise, FABULA NOVA CRYSTALLIS FINAL FANTASY XIII. Dealt a fate that marks them a threat to Cocoon—humankind's floating haven in the sky—Lightning, Snow and the others must find the strength within themselves to break free of their curse and fight for what they believe in. An immersive story of destiny, decisions and faith is about to unravel. The date has been set. The rest is up to you.
Theres also a new video uploaded on Xbox Live, That states the date, As well as having a new " Never before seen " Battle scene, just thought i might post to help backup the info
Finally put a release date on this huh. I shouldn't have any issues getting enough money by that point at least. It looks like it handles better than XII at least. Maybe I'll actually finish it instead of stopping half-way through.
I downloaded a trailer on my PS3 it looks good, but I find minimal complaints towards a Final Fantasy game.
