I live in Norway, and thanks to region free games (FINALLY) I can buy them the sec they land in America. I usually buy them from www.videogamesplus.ca since they. almost half the price and they put a fake value like $10 on the package so I get away from customs (limit is about $40). FINALLY and I mean FINALLY!!!! I don't have to wait an extra year or two before games like MGS or FF come out here. I hate the period from US release to EU release, since the net is full of spoilers. Thank you Nintendo for bringing region free to handhelds and thank you Sony for bringing it to the console.

I don't remember the details, but Squaresoft (old Sqare-Enix) and Nintendo had an argument on several things included the ROM vs. Disk,but it ended with Nintendo telling Squaresoft to GTFO, so they went to Sony. Come to think of it, Enix was one of the few 1st. partyNintendo creators back in the day (Ex. Terranigma for SNES, was a great game).

Anyway, SE have never liked disk changing, but was forced to it on the FF series on PS1 and Star Ocean on PS2 because of limited storage. That won't happen again in a while I recon.

I'll give you a good reason why we'll never see this game on any other console.

Sony have given Square-Enix 50Gb of storage capacity to play around with. And after making a HUGE game like FFXII, what on earth makes people even think for a nano second that SE won't pack that Blu-Ray disk with loads of story, gameplay, insanely big areas, loads of 5.1-7.1 sound effects and the Final Fantasy music we all know and love. All in 1080p and high bitrate sound. NOW, tell me if they would even think: Hmmmm we got 50Gb of storage....... MEH! let's cap it a 8.5Gb! Final Fanasy XI online is 8Gb to this date with another expansion coming this cristmas holiday.

And to those of you who say that we can change disk mid-game, or in the case of a 50Gb game: 6 disk changes! You better save alot in case you forget toget that one-of-a-kind amazing weapon on one of the previous disks. Well 50Gb is maby a bit much, but maby 25-30Gb. That makes it 3-4 disks. You get the point.

Edit: lots of space errors.
