最终幻想13美版发售日刚公布就在北美掀起不小波澜
有人把矛头直指MS .........
最初SE公司高层暗示，FF13将在09年登陆北美。然而去年E3展后，MS和SE达成协议，同时发售的PS3和Xbox 360版。我不在乎玩PS3或360版。现在真正困扰我的是，我必须等待更长的时间，因为微软过于贪婪。SE同样要为无视玩家的耐心承担责任。
There is word trickling out of a business meeting today by Square Enix, that Final Fantasy XIII will not be hitting our shores till mid 2010. This is definitely unacceptable coming from a company known for its stellar RPG franchise. Square Enix is to blame for this mishap, but the blame also falls squarely on Microsoft.
Square Enix has mentioned in the past that the PS3 version was practically finished and going through the final touch-ups for release in Japan this year. So, why is it that the US and Europe will be getting the game one year later? Square Enix execs have made it crystal clear that the game will not hit our shores until the porting/development has finished for the Xbox 360.
In a recent meeting, Square Enix revealed that the earliest US and Europe would see Final Fantasy XIII would be in April of 2010. Originally, the execs at Square Enix hinted that the game would arrive in 2009 for the US territory. However, this all changed after last E3, where the studio heads revealed that a deal has been struck just before the conference with Microsoft, for a simultaneous release on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
When I first heard that there was going to be a delay due to the decision to port over Final Fantasy XIII to the Xbox 360, I was okay with getting a late 2009 release in time for the holidays. However, now Square Enix is telling me I won’t be getting my grubby hands on it till mid 2010 (at the earliest), which is pretty disappointing.
I really don’t care where I play Final Fantasy XIII. It could be on my Xbox 360 or PS3 as long as they are of equal quality. However, what really bothers me is that I have to wait longer because Microsoft got too greedy.
Why couldn’t the finished version just get released first and tack on some extras onto the later version? The reason is because that wasn’t part of the deal when Microsoft dropped millions into Square Enix’s lap.
Square Enix is equally to blame for this blatant disregard for the fan’s patience considering that we have been waiting for this game since 2006. I love my Xbox 360 and I have played it to death many times (literally), but I am no tool.
Folks, “it is what it is” and there is no need to sugar coat it, Microsoft messed up. The company put their greed over us, the general consumers and purposely ***blocked the release of Final Fantasy XIII. Sigh. My rant is over, time to get back to playing Gears of War 2 Horde mode.

这个网站认为是SE为了财报
FF13美版发售日公布后，人们开始指责，首当其冲就是MS。其实这是SE为了2010年度的财报考虑。
美版和欧版的利润相当高，把FF13延期到2010年，利润不会比去年同期下降。
Following Yoichi Wada's announcement that Final Fantasy XIII would be released after April 2010 in North America and Europe, people started to point fingers. The first place those fingers pointed was of course Microsoft. Despite Square Enix saying that the Xbox 360 port won't slow down the release of Final Fantasy XIII, people don't necessarily believe this and Wada's comments have opened up a can of worms.
It is more than likely that Microsoft are indeed little to do with Wada's projected release date. It's more like that it's to do with Square Enix's own business dealings. Currently, Final Fantasy XIII in Japan is set to hit during the fiscal year which starts in April 2009. This will more than likely result in Square Enix seeing an increase in profits from 2008, which will please their share holders no end; everyone likes to make a profit on the last year. However, if they were to release Final Fantasy XIII in North America and Europe in the same fiscal year, their profits would be considerably higher. It's for this reason that it makes sense for them to release Final Fantasy XIII in those territories in the fiscal year beginning April 2010, so that profits don't dip year on year.
Another factor is obviously Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII, both of which are scheduled to come out in Japan this year. It wouldn't be surprising to see them both come out after April 2010 either, as Square Enix starts to try and gain the faith of their share holders once again after what's been a less than smooth year for them.
