I'd rather them take a long time with a game and work on it as much as they can, rather than rush it to the public without proper testing, polish and so on.
I mean, it's not even coming out in Japan until the end of this year. The average lead time on an FF game being localized for the US is about 6 months. Also keep in mind that they have to do the 360 version of it.
Summer-fall next year is when we'll likely get it. I wouldn't count on it being any earlier than May 2010. I'd personally guess August or September.
Haha, I honestly enjoyed X-2. I didn't take it as a serious game to begin with, and bought it for $3 bucks, so I didn't lose much. A lot could've been improved in that game in my opinion, but it was alright.
Hahahaha, I hear that a lot. It wasn't that bad of a game, but I know what you mean, haha. I still don't understand the ending, but the boss fights were fun, and I was able to kill them all. Unlike FF 12 which had still bears bosses a casual gamer like myself can't even topple.
I don't like WRPGs, either. I grew up on turn-based JRPGs. They're what I prefer. WRPGs and by extent, action-RPGs are extremely boring to me - I simply cannot stand that style of gameplay.
(10:57:38 AM): Infinity Ward and Activision will release 2 MW2 map packs first on XBL. Toriyama, director of FFXIII and Yoshinori Kitase, producer on FFXIII now on stage.
(10:58:02 AM): Toriyama, director of FFXIII and Yoshinori Kitase, producer on FFXIII now on stage. Speaking in Japanese through a translator.
(10:59:01 AM): Giving a brief history of Final Fantasy, tracing FF from when it first started 20 years ago. Last year he says he shocked the world with the FFXIII to Xbox 360 announcement. Today they're premiering the game running on Xbox 360.
(10:59:40 AM): It's part of the demo desquence we saw on PS3. English voices are in. Framerate appears to be staying steady.
(11:00:26 AM): Lightning is fighing the large scorpion robot from the demo. Sazh is also in the fight. Talking about how the game has four active time gauges to power up attacks. Conjuring the Odin summon.
(11:01:24 AM): Lighting tosses a red ball in the air and he appears behind her in battle. Will then partake in the fight. Normally you would not be able to use him that early in the game, he appeared much larger than other other characters covered in spiky black armor. Targeting a spring 2010 release.

I have a feeling it'll be the best Final Fantasy since IX. Though weirdly I'm no longer as hyped about this game as I used to be. Looking way more forward to Golden Sun DS, Sands of Destruction and Arc Rise Fantasia.
