According to an article and a few other sites, all of us Final Fantasy fans are going to have to wait a wee bit longer to get our grubby hands on Final Fantasy XIII.
"Fielding questions at a Square Enix financial briefing in Tokyo today, president Yoichi Wada said this about Final Fantasy XIII: "It will still take a bit more time. At the very least, [a release] this fiscal year is definitely out of the question."
Japanese is known for being a pretty vague language, but Wada"s words were pretty clear. No FFXIII in Japan until some time after March 2008.
Let"s hope Square Enix starts the translation before development finishes up.
