Umm...This doesn't provide any new information from what was reported by Square Enix, so why are we commenting on old news? Anyway, you making a big asssumption that they aren't translating the game right now and including multiple languages on a single disc. It's no more of a stretch than your 2009 release date that really comes from nowhere. They seem to plan on releasing MGS4 in the same time frame in Japan and NA, so it isn't so far fetch.

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

An so it continues. The PS3 will sit in japanese stores until 2008. The japanese are waiting for this game. They will not buy a PS3, until this game is released. Sorry Sony :(
Well at least they have Crisis Core for the PSP this sept 07.

That is assuredly not gameplay footage! Why else have an extreme close-up save for a cut-scene?
And is that Cate Blancett from LOTR? Or is it one of those infamous androgenous males that make me question my sexuality preference? I can never tell until its too late... :-[

@7: yeah it is in game that screen will be followed by a press X bit to continue onto the next part of the game which will be a bit more of those hard core exciting 4D graphics we all have come to expect from a PS3....

I work at a video game store and I got my PS3 from a customer for $300 but it isn't even worth that to me. Sony has fallen. They will never, ever enjoy the lead they had with the PS2. I personally tell customers not to buy it and recommend a Wii or Xbox 360 or both.

Nothing you've seen of FF13 so far is in-game. They're all renders. If you believe the final game will look like the image in this blog you're about as stupid as the people thinking the recent Ivy image (from SC4) is real-time. And Square sucks balls. They haven't released a good game in 7 years.

"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.

SeeD is right. This was the game that was supposed to come out in March-ish of next year to start the PS3 selling systems. Late summer or holiday season (do they have that in Japan) will find this game, and it won't be too late (it will never be too late for Final Fantasy in Japan).

The Final Fantasy games I like are FFV, FFVI, FFIX, FFCC, FFTA, and FFIII. I hate all the main series starting from 7 except 9 which is a throwback to the older styled FF's. Too much cinema not enough story.

Oh Tony, you're so funny with the things you say. You don't seriously think everyone's going to suddenly rush out and buy a PS3 just for MGS4, do you? But hey, by that time your camp will have undoubtedly taken over with the awe-inspiring Home and Little Big Turd, so you won't even need Geritol Snake to save the day.
"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.

BulletToothTony, shut the puck-man up. 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.

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.

No surprise, FFXIII will probably launch in 2009. That will really hurt the PS3, especially in Japan, since they don't have Dragon Quest anymore.

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.

This whole delay thing is simply a race. If last remnant, lost oddysey, blue dragon, and eternal sonata sell well on the 360, and vastly increases the user base of rpg gamers on the 360 then we WILL see FF13 with a big fat "only for brakebox 360" logo looming above it. If the failstation 3 picks up a larger user base in order for them to make a profit by mid 2008 then it will remain exclusive 2 ps3.
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.
