Niente FF XIII per il 2009

Since the first teaser trailer for Final Fantasy XIII was shown back at TGS 08, complete with a promise it would be delivered in 2009, the title has been eagerly anticipated in what was set to be one of the hottest releases of the year. Unfortunately it looks like those outside of Japan will be waiting a bit longer to get their Final Fantasy fix, as the game isn't going to make it to the US and Europe until the second quarter of 2010 at the very earliest. The news emerged as Square Enix, the game's developers, reported their latest set of financial results and delivered projections for the coming year.

Square Enix President Yoichi Wada told Reuters that while the game was on track for a 2009 PS3-exclusive launch in Japan, with international launches for the Xbox 360 and PS3 coming "in the business year from April 2010 or later."

Final Fantasy has been one of the most successful franchises ever to hit the console market. Since its first incarnation on the NES the series has sold upwards of 85 million units worldwide, with numerous spin offs and even a feature length movie adding to its success.

Despite the delay in the launch of Final Fantasy, Square Enix has remained optimistic about its financial outlook for 2009 with a small dip in operating profit of 2.4 percent to 21 billion yen ($236 million) forecast for the year. The company also reported healthy sales for the tail end of 2008 and said "demand has been generally brisk," with key titles such as Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest IV and Final Fantasy VII prequel Crisis Core all hitting shelves throughout the year.

Blah,colpa della microsoft

P.S Se a qualcuno interesa la blizzard ha ufficialmente cancelato Starcraft Ghost

Ogni volta che propendo per andare a comprare una 360 arriva puntuale l'annuncio del ritardo del titolo che aspetto... Tutto mentre si fanno proclami pomposi riguardo White Knight Chronicles (il nuovo titolo dei Level 5) su Ps3. Se solo quest'ultima non costasse così maledettamente TROPPO.

Ma Starcraft Ghost non era stato cancellato nel 2006?
