Since E3 began, rumors surfaced about the game 'Final Fantasy XII' being released on the upcoming Sony Playstation 3 instead of the previously planned PS2. According to Spong, Square-Enix reports that they are keeping the previous commitment of releasing the game on the PS2, and when asked about a release of a Final Fantasy game for the PS3, they said; "It is just beyond the horizon".

Final Fantasy XII will be available for gamers in the last stretch of 2005 for Japan, early to mid 2006 for North America, and there is no set date for Europe at this time.
Straight from EoFF's frontsite. There is not yet, as far as I know, any known specific title slated for the PS3. We know there will be a title, but not what it will be - and that includes XII.

I read the FF news (usually three or four articles) on a daily basis - it gets emailed to me from Google News. I'm pretty sure that XII being released on the PS3 is just that - a rumour. the news I quoted above is a lot more recent than the news that was linked to in Yahoo! News by Croyles.

In the wake of E3, confusion reigned as gamers struggled with rumour and misinformation regarding the final platform on which the long awaited Final Fantasy XII would reside. Various publications ran news claiming that the game had been shifted away from PlayStation 2 in favour of a next-gen outing alongside Sony’s new machine.

According to SE today, this isn’t the case. The firm announced, “…Final Fantasy XII will be released on the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system in fiscal year 2005 in Japan and fiscal year 2006 in North America.” No mention of a European date was made, however; strange as the press release received by SPOnG came from Square Enix Europe.

The release continues, “In addition, plans to bring a Final Fantasy title to the PlayStation 3, Sony Computer Entertainment’s next generation computer entertainment system that is currently in development, are just beyond the horizon.”

“We are extremely pleased to be able to finally announce the release timing for Final Fantasy XII and hope that our fans can wait just a little longer, as the development team is working very hard to complete our latest instalment,” said Yoichi Wada, president of Square Enix. “We were also very happy to showcase a technical demonstration of Final Fantasy VII in collaboration with Sony Computer Entertainment. Thanks to the PlayStation 3’s powerful Cell processor our acclaimed classic has never looked better.”

SPOnG contacted Square Enix for further details regarding Final Fantasy XII over here, but at time of press was unable to glean any clarifying, soothing word medicine. As soon as we hear, we’ll update this story. Keep it locked and as ever, we value your thoughts - as does Square - so let everyone know what you think in the forum below.

Be careful with rumours - unless you have a quote directly from the people at Square Enix, you can't be too sure about things in the gaming world.
