I attended both nights of the Distant Worlds Concert. The first night I was sitting in the First Tier, and the second night I was in the front row Orchestra Level.
I remember telling my friends that if any anime or video game related concert came to San Francisco again, I was definitely going to go.
Yes, it’s finally here – for those of us that can understand Japanese. Final Fantasy XIII was released in Japan on the 17th of this month.
I was debating whether or not to order a copy from Play-Asia and play through the Japanese version, but I opted not to after watching a stream of the game. I didn’t want to miss out on the dialogue and plot, but too bad the North American version won’t include the Japanese voices.
The battle system looks like fun, with a lot of customization and paradigm shifts. Anyone here already playing the game?
March 9th couldn’t come any sooner.

Final Fantasy 13 is coming out this year in Japan for the PS3 on December 17.
The game is a PS3 exclusive in Japan, but the same isn’t true for the international release. I’m curious as to how or why Sony lost the FF13 exclusive for international release. If it were exclusive, this game alone would considerably drive PS3 console sales up.
As further stated in the Sankaku Complex post, it has been suggested that the delayed 2010 international release could be in part due to the Xbox 360 port. It is fairly obvious that porting a game to another console takes time, but I thought the PS3 version was going to be released first anyways?
I’m definitely looking forward to this game and will get it on release day. Another related game that I’m even more anticipating is FF13 Versus; the dark setting seems more appealing to me. Too bad my Japanese skills are at newbie level or else I would be getting this game on December 17.
