Final Fantasy XIII has to be one of the most anticipated gaming titles of all time. Just the mention of ‘Final Fantasy’ brings huge interest, as one the of biggest RPG franchises has a massive following all over the world. For those of you living outside of Japan, Square-Enix has put an April 2010 timeframe on the game. Question is though, can you really wait that long, or are you tempted to import a Japanese version of the game?
North American and especially European gamers are used to getting games later, especially when it comes to titles from video game giants, Square Enix. With an exclusive Final Fantasy XIII demo on the way to Japanese gamers who purchase the Advent Children Complete Blu-Ray, this will only be sure to frustrate fans who are unable to get their hands on it.
Back to the main focus though, importing games is usually a great and easy way to play games that are released first over in asia with sometimes being an Asia-only release anyway. With all the hype and media attention that Final Fantasy XIII has recieved over the past few years, I’m sure there will be a great number of die hard FF fans out there who will not care about the Japanese voiceovers and will import regardless.
Are you going to import this game when it gets released in Japan? Or are you prepared to wait untill April 2010 at the soonest for a local version. Let us know your thoughts on this.

I would import if it were only japanese voices. I actually prefer japanese over english voices (as do all the other anime watchers out there). But if I can’t read or understand the story (no subtitles) then that’s a no go. Who would play a game where they don’t know how to equip items and what the story is. FINAL FANTASY IS ALL ABOUT THE STORY!!!!!!
