I'm very excited to play the game, but I have no problems waiting for the U.S. release. I'd rather enjoy it as much as possible initially, rather then play it sooner.

I want to play it but I have no problems waiting until March 9th. After all there are a lot of good games coming out that can hold me up until FFXIII release date.

Here you go.

Just a few of the box, PS3, and game. I'll probably take some more once I transfer all my old data to it.

Ah so you know japanese then? I know abit but not enough to personally get it to understand :(. Saying that, im still debating if i should get it or wait for the english, as i prefer the japanese voices over the english and apparently the US/EU version wont be having an option to change to japanese voices.

It doesn't. My friend bought the game and he said there are none. I expected there wasn't going to be any, so I wasn't surprised.

It does make sense in a way (marketing wise)? As wouldnt it hurt some sales in the US/EU? If the game had english subs i would more than likely just go grab the Japanese version. But i know having english voice overs are good but sometimes the voice acting can be dull - cant say anything bout FFXIII as the english voice acting might be great!

I'd import it if it was completely listening to Japanese I had to worry about - but since it's a literature-heavy RPG, I decided against it for my own good.

No, I don't know Japanese at all but I import games all the time. I mainly import games that don't get a stateside release. In this case, however, I just want to play FF XIII with the Japanese dialog (Sucks that SE are not including the Japanese dialog as they were originally considering), so that's why I will probably wait until I beat the N.A. version first.

I understand Japanese and have played all FFs in Japanese since FF5. I told my cousin to get it for me so hopefully ill have it by Christmas. Already played the demo, was pretty fun,obviously it was the very beginning of the game so there wasn't much you could do in the battles.

my problem with the game (and SE) is that it went multiplatform by lying to the players (first : the game is not under development for X360 yet, then X360 development will begin after the game is released on PS3 ...).

I'll only buy the game if it's obvious the game wasn't downgraded to fit the inferior machine

It should have been a PS3 exclusive. Then we would have had it by now. But no Enix just wants to screw us. It will probably become a media core game anyway. Everyone know it was downgraded but Enix never wants to admit it.

Just crawl into a delusional fanboy hole somewhere, please. The game will be experienced by all who would like to play it, and it will make double the money.... The best possible outcome, in reality.

Oh really exclusive games also sell good what dident VIII, and XII do. I dont think you have seen the E3 2005 press confrence where Wada said they would be fully backing the PS3. But instead they screw us over. Well at least FF Versus is Exclusive that game looks amazing cant wait.

No i'm waiting till the U.S. release, very anxiously though. The only thing I ever imported was a Japanese N64 about 6 months before the U.S. release, my buds and I had fun trying to figure out what the hell to do in Mario 64 and Pilotwings:lol: but we got it.

I don't really understand that much Japanese tbh but for a game of FFXIII's standing/complexity I am pretty sure I will be alright. I've already ordered my copy and had it sent on to an address in Japan. All that is left now is for my friend to foward it on to me in the UK. Should get it around-ish Christmas, probably later though.

I'd say there's a 99.99% chance we don't get this bundle in the US. Japanese special editions never come over here.
