i am dying to play this game. i cannot wait. since its' announcement, way back when, i was more looking forwards to this title than i was XIII (but i had extraordinary hopes for both games [XIII was the first 'let-down' in my eyes that had been titled FF])
but come on. what the hell is the point in announcing a game 5 YEARS before it is even nearly ready? i literally cannot get my head around that. i mean, 5 YEARS. it's getting to the point where the only news we are getting is so totally insignificant, being told that there is 'no news' on the title, or being told that it won't be appearing at any of the game shows / conventions.
i'm fast losing patience with this title. i am dying to play it but come on. 5 YEARS and it still isn't on its' way. and the worst thing is, that unless they are localising it simultaneously with the Japanese version, it could be another 6 months to a year before an English version is ready. that would be 6 YEARS and that's only hypothetically speaking if the game were to go gold in the next week or two. which it obviously isn't going to.
i'm really starting to think that this game, if it does ever see the grace of light, may never make it out of Japan. and if that is the case, i will be pissed.
and if it does get the worldwide release that it boasted about on that debut trailer from 2006, this had better be a perfect game. i mean, with the years and years and years that this has spent in development, there is literally nowhere for Squenix to hide behind for this game.
fingers crossed that that was a mistranslation (as suggested above) and that we will finally get a release date the next time we hear about it. (i'm thinking maybe a late 2012 japan, early 2013 [if lucky] worldwide)
i'm annoyed.
