finalfantasypairlooking FFXIII development started on PS2, delayed launch by a year and a half

We’ve been wondering because it’s taken Square Enix so prolonged to shake out an additional monthly payment in the core Final Fantasy franchise, saying as how the final diversion came out you estimate forever ago. The answer not long ago came in the ultimate Dutch emanate of Official PlayStation Magazine, that contains the divulgence talk with Squeenix’s Yoshinori Kitase. According to a air blower interpretation of the interview, Kitase pronounced “Final Fantasy XIII was creatively meant to be the PS2 title, though you had to switch systems due to the attainment of the PS3. That price us about the single as well as the half years as well as was all the time the box of hearing as well as error.”

Considering it took Square Enix rounded off “one as well as the half years” to rise as well as recover Final Fantasy IX, that’s the flattering estimable volume of time lost. Hopefully the developer will have an simpler time when operative upon the subsequent current-gen Fantasy.
