I simply can not understand their strategy. GT5, GoW3, FF13, Heavy rain - all in March? seems like not a good idea to bring all AAA titles in one month.

They could have just announced the date instead of announcing an announcement about an announcement. On the bright side it is coming out after White Knight Chronicles. Both games will probably keep me going on my PS3 until Final Fantasy Versus XIII comes out.

I need to save up for..

Mass Effect 2
Bioshock 2 (X360)
Splinter Cell Conviction
Battlefield 2 (X360)
GOW3
Alan Wake
And now FF13(PS3)

Also you have other games like Bayonetta, Darksiders, Alpha Protocol, Heavy Rain that Lost Planet 2 that also could be on my buy list as well. Q1 2010 will be crazy.

Unfortunately that is the X360 version as well^^
I am still betting the EU date gets delayed, come on WKC I am more interested to see what can happen if you come out.

Yea, unfortunately, X360 only owners can play a great RPG franchise on the same date. That is sooo bad for gaming. That is the worst fanboyish comment ever.

13 - Only the PS3 logo appeared at the end of the video..
Does that mean Sony cut the same deal with SE that Microsoft cut with IW and MW2?

I was thinking the same exact thing.

I think that just might be the case.

Who knows, North American and EU might end up seeing a FFXIII edition PS3, just like the MW2 360 Elite package

God of War 3, FF13, possibly Heavy Rain and possibly Gran Turismo if it's a world wide release. I think there's another one or two games due that month also.

it does seem like the series after FF9 kinda went a little girlie....

That is my very uneducated and inexperienced Final Fantasy opinion though..

I love 7 and 8

Same month as GoW III

Not a smart move, I'm not saying that GoW will be a bigger seller, just saying that it'll take some sales from FF.

It would sound nice to play this game in March. But I would not be surprised if the game does not get pushed back a couple of months. I have preordered alot of Square games in the past and was disappointed to find out it was pushed back.

BIG announcement huh.. I get the feeling they were prepared to release the PS3 version early, then MS legal got involved.

SE is pretty stupid, people are going to tear this game apart like there's no tomorrow, see what happened to tekken, no one gives a crap anymore. Multi-platform is not the way to go. The 360 fans don't like it that much to begin with, the PS3 fans will feel betrayed and thought 12 was a letdown already, no one's going to like it. Without a doubt it will be the worst final fantasy and a huge failure (considering it's budget.) You have to have positive buzz for a game.

when you say people are going to tear this apart who are you referring to? The retards at Eurogamer and LoT or the overall media? FF XIII is going to be huge, like all the other FF games. I think it will be good, that's one of the main reason why I bought the PS3.

SquareEnix, really are shooting themselves in the foot with this one, first they gimp the game to get it on the xbox...push back the release date forever to complete it on the xbox. then the Leona Lewis very misplaced song (sure shes never played a FF game evar)

MS secret gift should be $60 check in the mail after you buy the game...hahhaha!
