Square Enix: No PS3 games (Final Fantasy XIII) until after April 2008
According to German gaming site Gamefront, the Japanese publication Nihon Keizai Shimbun is reporting that Square Enix will not release any games for the PlayStation 3 until the start of the new fiscal year, April 1, 2008. In other words, keep waiting for Final Fantasy XIII. This is backed-up by an earlier statement from the company's president Yoichi Wada that FFXIII would not be released this fiscal year. Assuming the game hits Japan shortly thereafter, factor in translation, localization, and the hiring of bad voice actors, and we could be facing a North American and European launch in 2009 ... or later (cue spooky noises).

According to Nomura... yeah, it is. But it's unknown if that's a gameplay scene or a cinematic scene.

Smart move for Square - better install base with the PS2. Bad for Sony.

"Too bad they couldn't pronounce "Marquis.""
Check the dictionary. Most will show both pronunciations as being correct. I suppose it depends on what region of the world you live in, and therefore, what dialect of the English language you are using.
The choice to pronounce it as "markwiss" as opposed to "markee" or "mahkee" was intentional.

"The only good game is Gears of War." Spoken like a true Sony fan. On the other hand, if your console had *any* fun games on it, we could have a discussion here, but Resistance and Motorsprinkle aren't really console movers, as we've all seen. Of course, you can also fall back on the whole Blu-Ray kicking HD-DVD's butt tactic as well, which never gets old. Especially when the majority of movie watchers are still enjoying the regular DVD format and couldn't give a crap less for the new formats.
It's OK, man. You bought a niche product. People also bought the CD-i at the time, too.

Triforceowner: "I'm trying to decide if I want to buy The Darkness, Overlord, or Shadowrun this week. In a few weeks Two Worlds will pass July by. BioShock, Blue Dragon, and Too Human are all slated for August. September shows Halo 3 and Mass Effect for us 360 users. October has Half-Life 2 and Naruto: Rise of a Ninja. And for those oh-so-cold winter months we have an awesome line-up of multiplatform and exclusive titles flowing in via the holidays. Suck it, man. I hate this level of post of bragging about game lists, but suck it, 360 is just as good as PS3. This doesn't even include the already amazing list of games on the system and some games I missed like Eternal Sonata."
BulletToothTony: "oooooohhh look at them trolls get all cranky"
Am I really the troll? I hope you are not saying that.

Your either clueless or a troll, or maybe both.
I think the demo footage of Mass Effect alone is causing a worldwide epidemic of manic depression among Sony fanboys. BioShock footage is the nail in the coffin, suicide hotlines are now packed to the max with Sony crybabys.

Good, I can feel your anger. I am unarmed. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the 360 side will be complete.

Because instead it'll be - FALL 2008 - FINAL FANTASY XIII for the XBOX 360.

People don't need these comments not to buy a PS3. They just need to look at the cost of entry.

" oooooohhh look at them trolls get all cranky like someone put salt on them.. lol"
The irony of this statement simply astounds me. Your are, without a doubt, one of the biggest PS3 trolls/fanboys on the joystiq cadre of blogs. Certainly not the most intelligent, nor informed, but definately one of the most verbose.

"I like the PS3 and hate the 360 and Wii, sue me"
First, somebody would have to give a shit what you like and/or hate.

If it goes both ways FFV13 will be for xbox 360, and FF13 will be for PS3. All of this is IMO (IN MY OPPINION) so don't aim your flamethrowers at me.
