Wereldwijde release voor FF XIII?

Roy
Square-Enix heeft een aantal RPG's in de planning staan voor een flink aantal consoles. Twee van de grotere titels zijn The Last Remnant (360,PS3) en Final Fantasy XIII (PS3). Van The Last Remnant is al bekend dat S-E deze game tegelijkertijd in de USA en in Japan wil releasen. Voor Final Fantasy XIII hebben ze deze belofte nog niet gemaakt, maar ze gaan hun best doen. Dit blijkt uit een interview dat GamesIndustry hield met John Yamamoto:

GI: European gamers are still complaining about having to wait a long time for your titles to come out in their territory. What steps are you taking to deal with this issue?
Our major titles are RPGs, and they contain so many languages and voiceovers. We try to make the localisation of the best quality, and that takes time, but it's improving.

Recently we did Heroes of Mana, Chocobo Tales and Final Fantasy Tactics, and we shortened the time gap between Japan, the US and Europe. Our ultimate purpose is to release titles in five languages at the same time; that is our ultimate goal, and we're working on that.

For one of our biggest upcoming titles, Last Remnant, we're working to simultaneously launch in the United States and Japan - and we're aiming for Europe. We're still assessing whether that's feasible, but it's a goal.

GI: Do you mean across all of Europe? Or just English speaking territories?
It's still being considered.

GI: What about next-gen Final Fantasy? Will you try to go for a simultaneous release with that too?
We'll try our best.
