Major bummer. Square Enix prez Yoichi Wada has just announced that the delay of Dragon Quest IX for the DS may affect the release of Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, 360).

Well, frak.

Final Fantasy XIII It may be affected by Dragon Quest IX‘s delay. We’d like to work towards (a release) within fiscal 2009.

We’ve yet to finalize our plans for the next term, so I cannot say for sure if there will or will not be an effect, but Dragon Quest’s release being March or July changes the premise. I can’t say that there won’t be an influence.

Apparently, the reason for Dragon Quest IX‘s delay was caused by a bug they didn’t catch in time. Oh well. It’s not like we already had a definite release date for FFXIII to look forward to anyway. It’s not like we lost anything.
