No Final Fantasy XIII this year, says Square Enix

Square Enix‘s Shinji Hashimoto once said that they wanted people to be sucked into the world of Final Fantasy XIII for at least one whole decade. That’s an awfully long time and we guess you will all agree with us when we say that it would be good to start playing the game this year.

Unfortunately, that will not happen. Square Enix President Yoichi Wada was interviewed earlier today during his company’s financial briefing in Tokyo. When asked about the release date, Wada commented, “It will still take a bit more time. At the very least, [a release] this fiscal year is definitely out of the question.”

Oh well. We’re not really in a hurry because we don’t want to get stuck inside a poorly created video game for 10 long years. For what it’s worth, it’s good to know that Square Enix is really taking its time to develop Final Fantasy XIII. Based on the president’s statements, we should be getting the title by March 2008 at the earliest.

Final Fantasy XIII follows the story of main character Lightning but no details are currently available about her past, her personality, and how she really fits in the whole Fabula Nova Crystallis universe.
