\nMSNBC has a list “Top 5 most anticipated games of 2009”<\/a> and Final Fantasy XIII<\/i><\/a> somehow makes the list. I’d love to hope that it will come out in 2009, but I’m pretty skeptical.<\/p>\n

I’ve been a fan of Final Fantasy<\/i> games since I first started playing the original Final Fantasy<\/i><\/a> during elementary school. I got a Playstation just so I could play FF7<\/i>, FF8<\/i>, and FF9<\/i> (and then the re-releases of FF4<\/i> and FF6<\/i>), then I got a Playstation 3 so I could play the PS2-only FF10<\/i> and FF12<\/i> and since I knew FF13<\/i> would eventually come out on PS3, and finally I got a Nintendo DS last month just so I could re-play the updated FF4<\/i>. So needless to say, when it comes to video games, I’m a Final Fantasy<\/i> fanatic. It’s basically the only video game series that I really play regularly and repeatedly.<\/p>\n

So I’ve been following the latest news on FF13<\/i>. And just last week I read news that there isn’t going to be a FF13<\/i> demo for North America<\/a>. Additionally, since FF13<\/i> is going to be PS3 and Xbox 306 over here (and contrary to MSNBC’s statement that “Widely regarded as the most influential role-playing franchise on consoles, the latest “Final Fantasy” is scheduled to arrive on PS3 this year (and later on Xbox 360),” I’ve heard\/read that it will be a simultaneous release), it won’t be released here for quite a while after it comes out in Japan. And considering there isn’t even an official Japanese release date, I really doubt I’ll get to see it in 2009.<\/p>\n

Thank you, MSNBC<\/a>, for being optimistic… but I’m afraid you anticipation might be for nothing… but there is always 2010.<\/p>\n

Update<\/b><\/i>: Pretty much right after I posted this, PS3 Fanboy<\/a> confirmed: “Final Fantasy XIII won’t hit global market until at least April 2010.”<\/a> That sucks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
