Yesterday, Square-Enix has released a video revealing the release date for their upcoming flagship title, Final Fantasy XIII. The game will be released simultaneously in the US and EU for both the PS3 and the Xbox360 on March 9th 2010, and exclusively to the PS3 in Japan on December 17th 2009.
Mr. John Yamamoto, president and CEO of Square-Enix Inc. says, “…Final Fantasy XIII will exceed all expectations“. While the English version of the game would not contain both English and Japanese voices, as was expected, the English voices were actually well done. There will be upgradable weapons similar to Final Fantasy VIII and a new leveling system called the Crystalium System, which resembles the Sphere Grid from Final Fantasy X. Also new to the title is a Paradigm Shift mode which allows the player the assign roles to characters in a somewhat similar fashion to Final Fantasy XII’s Gambit system.
Final Fantasy XIII is the most eagerly anticipated title in the Final Fantasy franchise and maybe the most anticipated role playing game for the PS3. (The instant I get news that I can make Lightning weak at Thunder and powerful at Water/Ice, then its on my list for Q1 2010.)
