Ever since the very first Final Fantasy was released on the Nintendo Entertainment System in Japan by Square Enix, formerly known as Square, fans have been lining up to buy the next installments. In total, Square Enix has released 12 stand-alone games on various consoles and a few direct sequels to some of the more popular games. (ex. FFVII Dirge of Cerberus, FFX-2) Currently in development, among other things, is the highly anticipated Final Fantasy XIII.
I've been looking forward to Final Fantasy XIII coming out since I finished FFXII over 2 years ago. Since it has been announced, it has been confirmed that it will be released not only on the PS3, but on the XBOX 360 as well. However, it was said that it would be released later this year in Japan and in December of this year here in the US at the earliest. I just recently learned that it will be released in April of 2010 here, but Square Enix is still planning to release the game in Japan this year.
I have to say even with the US release being pushed, I'm still looking forward to playing it. Until it comes out though, I'll just have to settle for a few other games that come out this year. (Halo Wars and Halo 3 ODST for example)...I think I'll live.
