Well, Final Fantasy XIII remains exclusive to the PlayStation 3 in Japan, but Square-Enix is sneakily doing an end-around that agreement with Sony by releasing the Xbox 360 version in Asia, according to Kotaku.
At a recent Microsoft game exhibition in Taipei, Microsoft Taiwan’s Entertainment and Devices Division head Grace Chou announced that Final Fantasy XIII for the Xbox 360 would go on sale in Taiwan, but haven’t yet decided which localized version will be launched for the Asian territories.
We imagine that means it should be possible for Japanese Xbox 360 owners to import the Asia version and play it on their consoles — that is, unless the Asia FFXIII is region coded so that’s impossible. This version could have the original Japanese language track with Chinese/Korean/English subtitles or it might be the English language version with Chinese/Korean subtitles. According to Chou, the language hasn’t yet been decided.
Are you willing to bet it’s the former (Japanese language with subtitles)?
