When?

[Ouch!]

I highly doubt it's coming on in late December. If it was just over a month away, we would have heard something official from SE. I think that a early 2005 release is a lot more realistic.

I also doubt that it will be released in '06. Sony announced that they'll have a playable version of the PS3 at E3 of '05. That means that system will be out in 2006. I don't think they want to push the release of FFXII too close to the PS3 release. If they can, they'll probably try to move on and get FFXIII out for the PS3 as close as they can and make it an early title for the system. Financially, it just makes sense.

Square recently announced that the game would NOT be released in Japan in this Fiscal year therefore it will be released in Japan after March 05. Most likely it will be released around June-August there and we probably won't get our hands on it until November or so.

Yeah, it sucks, but I'd rather they just take all the time they need than rush things and cut things due to time constraints.

Well, I just re-looked it up. From what I discovered (and I dunno if this is Japan or America, either way it's being released, lol) that it is being released February 14, 2005.

Square-Enix has just announced that FFXII won't be released during their current fiscal year, wich ends on March 31, 2005.

The announcement was made during SE's midterm financial meeting.

Looking back at the last "Spring 2005" date, this delay could push the game at least another month away (or more) from it's expected earlier release date. Well, at least this officially kills that February 14 rumor.

After FFX and X-2 I'm not really looking forward to FFXII, I hope it isnt another disaster...

[velvet.fireball]

im looking forward to it. id expect it to be released around xmas time 2005 in america or uk (im in uk so im hoping sooner than expected). however i think it will probably be march-may next year.

im hoping, however, that a spring release in japan will mean a late summer release in america and a winter release in the uk.

either way us poor brits have drawn the short end of the straw yet again.

I really think it's stupid how long Europe has to wait to get a game!
I read soemthign on www.hmv.co.uk that said Final Fantasy 12 was coming out on the 25th March 2005! I was so excited!
I also read in thye Summer Edition of GAME that Final Fantasy 12 had just been released in Japan!
I'm confused!

Well, PSM magazine says April, the tenth I believe, but I'm not going to take anything seriously. Not even from SE themselves---I'm just going to wait till it actually comes out.

[negareboshi]

I read on some random site that ff12 was gonna be released in may 05, in japan anyway... SE keeps delaying 12 n AC...they better be good!
