WOAH, who told you August 24, 2004? That's so ridiculous, it's ridiculous. Square-Enix is hoping to have it come out some time next year, along with Kingdom Hearts 2. I think the August 24 date you're talking about is the release date for Advent Children. I'm not sure. Oh, wait, August 24 is the release date for Star Ocean 3.... I think.
:monster2: One, AH! AH! Two, AH AH! Three, AH AH!
My guess is they will say it's early next year, then delay it till the end of the year. Just like any other FF really. =\
Last I heard it was coming out some time in February. SE wanted to spread out their three major releases: Star Ocean, FFXII and Kingdom Hearts II. Star Ocean is coming out this fall I believe, they said FFXII would be somewhere in February and KHII could be pushed back all the way to summer or even fall 2005.
I can't wait for XII. It looks like it's going to be one of the gems of the series.
Oooo, FF12 and Xenosaga 2 are gonna duke it out something fierce!

As much as I liked the first Xenosaga, I don't think there's going to be any competition between the two.
Haha, yeah. I don't think there'll be any debates on whether or not Xenosaga II can even come within 200 feet of comparison range with FFXII.
Wow, KHII coming out during the summer of 2005? That's burning mad.
:monster2: One, AH! AH! Two, AH AH! Three, AH AH!
KH II comes out sometime next year...but who cares about Kingdom Hearts anways?

Why do you even care about Xenosaga series? Neither Xenogears nor Xenosaga have been released in Europe, and the chances are that we aren't getting Xenosaga 2 either, so you probably aren't getting those games anyway. As for FFXII, I've heard Summer 2005 in Japan although it could come out later. So I guess Christmas 2005 or early 2006 would be the time for the US release, and late 2006 for Europeans.Originally Posted by Silent Warrior

Alots of people (me included)! However FFXII is ofcourse even more important.
Does anybody know the European release date?
I don't think we can even decided on a Japanese release date.
What?! That's bloody insane! This could be the game that redeems Square after giving us FFX.So I guess Christmas 2005 or early 2006 would be the time for the US release, and late 2006 for Europeans.
Anyone know the exact release date of Star Ocean 3?
:monster2: One, AH! AH! Two, AH AH! Three, AH AH!
As far as I know, there are no set release dates for any of SE's new games. From what I've heard though, Star Ocean 3 should be the first one out, so maybe sometime late fall or winter? Could be later than that, but I doubt it.
Oh, well at least Star Ocean can keep us occupied until FFXII comes out. I know I will be occupied, since I don't play video-games on school days and I'll probably get my very first job soon. Congrats me.

Sephiroth1999AD: *whisper* Mod-chip r teh win!The first one was pretty much everything I could want from a console-RPG. If a bit too Japanese, but that is another game, another forum, blah. But that's why I care.
Well, That's all for me in this topic.

Seriously if this game comes out before 2006 i owe somebody $5 U.S.
If it comes out before 2006 then I WON'T have to hunt down SE people, strap them to their chairs, and make them work!
Why do we always get games late anyways? Excuse my ignorance, but isn't the only thing that's different the language? They don't seem to change the graphics to make `em match...
while i am waiting for FFXII will be mostly buying Fable and KOTOR2.(befor you ask i am not a star wars fan but the first game was exellent.

They make changes. For one thing, translation takes a while. For another thing, you can't directly translate Japanese to English, it doesn't make any sense. This is why things get localized. Not only that, but a lot of the FF games have had BIG changes made to the US releases. Ignoring all the messes caused by pre-Sony FF games, FFVII had several bosses added and as a result, FMVs had to be changed. This is why there was an "international version". Also, the gap between a game's Japanese release and a game's US release has been getting MUCH shorter. Usually what we have to wait around for is for the game to be finished up and released in Japan. Then it's usually only around 3 months before the US gets it.
True, but bringing the games to Europe takes a lot longer. The translation is the same as in the US version, and pretty much all Square has to do is change the game from NTSC to PAL (shouldn't be too hard as far as I know) and make a European game covers and manuals. But still that takes forever. FF7 was the first FF that made it to Europe, and it came out almost a year after the Japanese version. FF8 came to Europe almost 20 months after the Japanese release and over a year after the US release. FF9 was faster, but Square Europe put an overly large price tag for it, about $70-80. FFX came out here when FFXI had already been released in Japan, and FFX-2 came out at early 2004. Square Enix still hasn't announced the European release for FFXI, let alone a release date. As for FFXII, as I said before, it can easily take until the year 2006 that the game becomes available in English.

Don't they also have to translate it to certain Europe languages?

Early 2006 in the US?
An Aphrodite for mortal souls
Playing hide and seek in lecherous roles
Their erotic hour, my tearless weep
Their saticfaction, my infinite sleep
Naked limbs reflecting fron the moon
I'll be there for you soon
First wish for this night:
Let me be your delight
Body of a virgin
Soul to the Devil's kin
Your God is me
In all that you see
There a few more issues I forgot to mention. The first is actually deciding to release a game. On big name games it's usually a no brainer (who DOESN'T love Mario?), but from what I understand gaming in Europe is a different scene. I hear that gaming isn't quite as engrained in the culture. There's also the issue of content legality. Then the game has to be reviewed for rating. On top of that, there's copyrights. Would you like to know why Dragon Warrior got called Dragon Quest in the US?
In Japan it comes out Fall 2004
In USA it comes out Early 2005
and in Europe Late 2005
