Final Fantasy XII dated

PS2 News | This year or next year?
Square Enix dropped something of a bombshell during the Square Enix Party 2005 earlier today, announcing that Final Fantasy XII won’t be hitting stores until March 16, 2006 in Japan.

The release date comes as a surprise considering that Sony plan to release their PlayStation 3 console in the same year. Whether this is an indication that the PS3 won’t be released until late 2006 is obviously yet to be seen, but it would be a certainty that Sony wouldn’t want to affect the sales of one of their most treasured franchises by for the sake of their next home console.

Unfortunately, no official date was revealed for other countries. However, Square Enix did comment that the game would follow a similar trend in release dates as previous Final Fantasy titles, meaning that we might not see Final Fantasy XII until December 2006, at the earliest.

While there isn’t a lot of satisfying news to be drawn from this, we do have several new screenshots courtesy of Square Enix, so a quick visit to the Media Panel is recommended.

How dissapointing.

Aw well at least I have time to save up for it, especially since I just spent most of my cash on my Ipod.

wouldn't be the first time they've released a FF game the same time as a new console... FF9 wasn't that much before the PS2 was released...

I'm not holding my breath . . . as much as I love FF, I can't handle the anticipation of their next title so I pretend it doesn't exist and when it does get released I'm like "Oh, look, it's the next FF, isn't that nice." icon_razz.gif

I take it with a grain of salt. Its not like I'm clamouring like a zombie over it. Just get on with everyday life and it'll come.

Yes, absolutely. I mean why release so close to the PS3 and then not release it for the PS2

Yeah, think and read before you post:
probably going to be PS3, or as SEnix and MSoft are allies then it might be a 360 title to combat the PS3s launch.
