FFXII release date
« on: August 02, 2005, 09:58:41 AM »
Square Enix has confirmed a final Japanese release date for the long-delayed Final Fantasy XII, first announced in 2003. The game has only recently shown up again in playable form at the Square Enix Party in Tokyo; previously, a playable build debuted at E3 2004, but a lengthy gap where only prerendered video footage was displayed followed, leading to widespread rumors about the health of the project.

The reasons for the delay are partially explained in a statement released by Square Enix on the Japanese website: as translated by consumer site 1UP.com, the explanation says that "FFXII producer, Yasumi Matsuno is recovering from sickness, and is currently involved with the project as a consultant." Matsuno's previous work for Square Enix has included the Final Fantasy Tactics games as well as Vagrant Story.

Matsuno will remain on as a consultant, while the game will be guided to completion by co-directors Hiroyuki Ito and Hiroshi Minagawa. The game also is listed as being executive-produced by Akitoshi Kawazu, father of the SaGa series; previously, all Final Fantasy games gave the executive producer nod to series founder Hironobu Sakaguchi, but with Sakaguchi now overseeing his own studio in Mistwalker, the mantle has passed to Kawazu.

The new Japanese release date is March 16, 2006, which ensures that the release will fall within Square Enix's Japanese fiscal year. The American release has been slated for an unspecified "later in 2006."

Or probably SONY's sole reason to try to keep people from anticipating the late release of the PS3.

In gamspots coverage of the FFXII demo that was shown at square-enix party thing, they said something about how they had official reports that the english recording of the game, alot of progress was being made, I cant find it now cause im in a net cafe in trincinty mall, but im sure if  you go and look for it you would find it.

to me this is good news, cause the jap date means nothing to me, i mean, i cant speak nor understand japanese so it doesnt matter.
