Following some reports hinting to the the arrival of Final Fantasy XIII Xbox 360 in Japan, Square-Enix has come out with solid confirmation.
It will be an international edition version of the game known as “Final Fantasy XIII Ultimate Hits Edition”, and will release on December 16th for Â¥4,980, according to the latest issue of Famitsu.
Microsoft’s holding a press conference in Japan tomorrow, so hopefully more information will be released. We could also witness a bomb drop if the software giant comes out and announce Versus XIII as also coming to its console, the Xbox 360.
Final Fantasy XIII was released in November of 2009 in Japan as a PS3 exclusive, with a worldwide release date for the game coming a few months later for said platform and the Xbox 360 in March of 2010.
Too little too late?
one has to ask whats the point?
i mean its no secret that M$ games dont sell well in JP look at the exclusive RPGs released there they sold terribly!
$E would have to port over the region coding, implement the sound from the ps3 version of the game, it would require a fair amount of work.
and you know what, im not so sure the sales would cover the costs of porting it across.
Yeah, almost everyone who wanted that game over there has a system, so….
