No Final Fantasy XIII This Year

Sony struggling for exclusives

Square Enix has revealed that we won't be seeing Final Fantasy XIII this year.

While fielding questions at a financial briefing, the company's president, Yoichi Wada, said of the game, "It will still take a bit more time. At the very least, [a release] this fiscal year is definitely out of the question.”

So, at the earliest, it'll be April 2008 before we see the sequel make its PS3-only appearance.

The PS3's looking increasingly starved of platform exclusives. As SPOnG told you last week, it's looking increasingly likely that Metal Gear Solid 4 won't arrive until 2008, either. Throw in the loss of GTA IV as a PS3 exclusive and Sony's looking pushed for a big hitter to contend with Halo 3 this year.

Whoever things Final Fantasy is crap is crazy. Its probably the only one-player
game others enjoy watching you play. The storylines have always been excelent,
even back to final fantasy 5. There have been some cheesy moments in the series of games, but to call it crap....that's wrong.
