Rumor Mill: Final Fantasy XIII Heading Over To The Xbox 360 in Japan
Seven months ago, Final Fantasy XIII was all the rage in Japan and, the North American version of the game took a late turn as it was the game was recently launched last March for the PS3 and Xbox in the West. The game was not available for the Xbox 360 in Japan…until now.
Rumors have claimed that Final Fantasy XIII will become available for the Xbox 360 in Japan. As questionable as the rumor appears, the game has recently skidded from Top 50 software survey lists which, Final Fantasy XIII enjoyed a comfortable spot at the higher hierarchies of what gamers were playing last March.
The motive is not even clear.
Why would Japan, a country whose Xbox 360 market is performing poorly compared to the PS3, gambit from a game released seven months earlier this year without considering the fact that the community of Xbox 360 owners are outraged on how Final Fantasy is being treated on the console.
Hey, have you heard? We’re going back to Japan and this time, it’s going to be on the 360.
Just recently, Final Fantasy XIV has been officially canceled for the Xbox 360 because of the “maturity” that the franchise has directed and, Final Fantasy XI was the coup de grace. Square Enix and Microsoft both have production egos that signing the upcoming MMO for the PC and later this March 2011 for the PS3 has become quite the problem to a very problematic console (in Japan) called the Xbox 360.
The rumor is spreading like a virus thanks to an update by Japan’s biggest Xbox community, XNEWS, and the site has enumerated the Achievements list of Final Fantasy XIII for the 360. Will this sudden change of heart be worth it, I mean, bartering on an Xbox Achievement which, you felt you’ve already accomplished for the PS3 be that important?
If Japan would like to support and their Xbox 360 community then, this is the perfect chance to bolster the console’s fledgling reputation however, will playing the same stuff again become exciting once again.
