Apparently slated for a 2008 release?

Awesome, but if that is Japan when will we be likely to see it here in England?

Late 2009?

2010?

Please let it be soon.

If the old MGS titles were anything to go by it'll take 3-5months to get translated etc from Japan! :) Many things have simultaneous worldwide release now tho! :D

I would say summer to fall 09 in english speaking territories. I think the news is that it releases in march 09, so that probably means just japan, so we have another wait ahead of us.

lets just hope that by March 2009 its released in US / EU... too many games are being moved back to the first quarter of 2009, but so little time :)

If this lives up to the hype, and Final Fantasy XIII sticks with the horrible real-time battle system, then I think Level 5 will leapfrog Squeenix as my favourite RPG dev. If FFXIII is turn-based, I'll get it, simple as that. But XII was just horrible, the battle system was flawed (should have been turn-based), and combined with a relatively weak storyline, you get the (IMO) worst Final Fantasy yet.

Can't see WKS coming out before next summer though.

Watch a gameplay video it might change your perspective on it.

13 ia not turn based, it has already been said. WKS is also not turn based either. I can see how some would think it is with only pushing Circle to do a move from a palette. It does seem pretty cool and I hope it turns out good. Lair, Haze, and Heavenly Sword weren't what they were supposed to be, let's see if we can turn that around.

A lot of those screens are very old. Also I think the world is supposed to be very big and so you can't expect it to be super phenominal. I mean GTA 4's graphics aren't as good as some others, but it still looks great considering how big the world is. If you want a game with graphics, play motorstorm 2, Killzone 2, or MGS 4. As we have just seen with Alone in the dark, that game has a lot of issues but great graphics.

You are joking right? You obviously need to see it in motion.

They said that the japanese release will be before april 2009. I would think it takes over a year to localice a game to english based on the FFXII time... It takes a lot more time to localice an RPG than any other game (including MGS).

And yes, I am looking forward to that game too.

i liked ffxII a lot :) may be thats just me ( i dont think so though) i dont see what the problem was with it, may be the story but thats about it, i dont like random battles very much and the active combat system was good :)

I could have sworn I read that the battle system is supposed to be a hybrid of turn-based / real-time.......and there are no random battle since you will see the monsters as they roam around.

It'll be intresting because I kind of agree with you......I disliked FF12 so much I never finished it (the first time that has ever happened with a FF game).
