Future Final Fantasy Games Will Be Developed Quicker
*UPDATED – Final Fantasy XIII is CONFIRMED to be released in Japan on December 17, 2009.
I’m sure everybody is getting really sick and tired of waiting for Final Fantasy XIII to be released. But according to Square Enix, games after FFXIII (I’m not sure about FFXIV or FF Versus XIII) will be developed faster. This is a quote by Square Enix producers Yoshi Kitase and Motomu Toriyama from 1Up.com:
“For FFXIII there are a lot of firsts, and because it’s a new console that the teams are working on, it took a little time for the team to get used to everything,” said Kitase and Toriyama through a translator. “Now that they have the engine built for it the basics are covered, so the development time for future projects should be shortened.”
Well if they put it that way, then I can’t blame them for all the delays. If I am a Final Fantasy fan, I will be really happy that they are putting in so much effort to ensure that players will experience quality gameplay. I will be disappointed by the delays, but I’m sure everybody will get over it sooner or later =).
Final Fantasy XIII will be released in Japan during Winter 2009, and in North America around Q2 2010.
