...Don't tell me you were expecting an 08 release when Square hasn't even shown gameplay yet and are overcoming a huge hurdle with the White Engine, resulting in a slow, painful production.

I don't expect it until 2010 in the US and Winter 2009 in Japan.

9 months, eh? That's because whenever a Final Fantasy is released, the staff celebrates by having sex with many American women. They then release the games later, so the babies can be as confused as the people playing it :P.

You never know,

Theres two Final Fantasy XIII projects being developed for the PS3 and we don't know which one will be released first. Im just saying that with Square-Enix you never know. I feel there planning something big.

But then you have other titles to take our time with while we wait. Last Remanant and Star Ocean 4

And if the majority of PS3 owners outside Japan were fluent in Japanese that would actually mean something.

% of US gamers that can read japanese would be increadably low. Also the % of those people who could make out the cultural gaps in the meaning of certain words and expesions when reading japanse would be even less

I never thought this game would make an 08 release, honestly how many people really did, I havent seen a lick of gameplay or anything other than cgi trailers. This game will probably be coming mid to late 09, I also don't think RE5 will be making an 08 showing either for the same reasons as FF13, only 1 major exclusive for ps3 is guarunteed this year(MGS4), not even GT5 is guarunteed for this year.

All those numbers don't average out to 9 months. The longest it has taken a game is 9 months though. But I don't expect to see it this year in states for sure.

JUST WAIT till 2010, THEN it'll come out and the PS3 will PWN. On another note, the next year after that the next generation will begin.

You won't see either FF's until at least fall 09 in NA, and for Europe it will most probably be 2010.:(

Then why develop it in the first place? If I were on that team, I would probably quit.

I'm starting to understand why they dropped Dragon Quest IX in favor of the DS.

There will be many PS3 games moved to 2009 considering the majority of them have a TBA time frame.

Whats the point of waiting two years to play a game? By the time it's released the next generation will be here (xbox 540, Wii 2 etc.)

And its kinda karma. You guys didn't like Nintendo, so they set the standard of making games come out late for you :P.

There is like 10% chances of it comming this year. And thats if they announce the game in march in Japan, you might get a chance of having it end 2008. But thats unlikely to happen. We would be lucky to get the game in march next year.

We haven't even seen it in motion, details are still sparse, and SE is known to take their sweet time.

Would be cool if they could just put all languages into the 1 blu-ray disc and release it simultaneously worldwide since it will be region free.

That's what I was thinking. How do you know they aren't working on both the Japanese and English languages at the same time? The game could have a worldwide release. I still think the game isn't coming until '09 though.
