Dissida: Final Fanasy - Image 1


Though this is just an announcement of a release window for just one major region, it's still one step closer to a retail release! At long last, we finally have something official on Dissidia: Final Fantasy's release in Europe and across other PAL territories.

Announcing to the press, Square Enix has scheduled their not-just-a-fighting-game FF brawlfest for autumn of this year. Yes, that's the window. No concrete month or date set just yet, but we'll take what we can.

See, back in February, they said they'll be making an announcement about this at the end of that month, however, now some three weeks late, I suppose that's fine nonetheless.

Now the weird thing here is that when the press release uses the words "autumn" and "PAL" in the same sentence, that's a bit confusing. Some PAL territories (like Australia) have their fall season as early as March, while everyone else in the northern hemisphere have it August! Hmm...

Meanwhile, North America's release date for Dissidia is still on "some time mid-2009" status.

WTF is wrong with them. Do they really think people are going to wait months for such a high profile game??



All potential buyers have already pirated it.

» true...

but even so, many people will still buy it on UMD because on the mem stick, it's a space hog.

even as a CSO, you don't save much space at all...

Same reason I bought Crisis Core. Some games deserve their rightful spot in the UMD tray.

...still going to buy the English version.



Fine, people have pirated it off the Japanese version. But can you tell me for a fact that all 100percent of those "potential buyers who already pirated it" have fully understood and actually *enjoyed* Dissidia in its Japanese version?

» autumn and PAL... lol

They could've just announce a month. I guess there will be lots of possibilities that this game will get postponed. Well, I'm just going to wait for an official month or exact date announcement. PAL/EUR or NTSC-US version is fine. Whichever, releases early then I'll just grab that one of course as long as it's english obviously.

let's just hope for a PAL release in southern hemisphere autumn, that way we can get our games earlier (plus i'm living in Ausie as well) ... probably buy it, then rip it to memstik just to reduce the loading times...

Since its japanese, there will be people who'll buy the english version anyway. But consider other games like Patapon 2, GoW, etc. WTF. All the region UMDs have English.
