Why No Special Edition for FFXIII?

Final Fantasy XIII debuted back at E3 2006. XIII and Gran Turismo 5 were the two big games shown for the Playstation 3 at the time. I bought a PS3 back in 2007 to play Final Fantasy XIII when it came out. I love the franchise. Now 4 years later, after much waiting and aggervation. The game is finally coming out, and Square Enix messes up again…

I hate to appear immature but NAAAA NAAAA NANA NAAAAAAA! haha lol got my special edition pre-oredered ;) sorry US peoples just had to.

That IS terrible though, i wonder why they are leaving you guys out? What they playing at?

ClownBelt5919d ago

This is one of the two rare cases(one being the FFX international one)where I really envy European gamers.

Most of the time, they get really screwed by the industry though. Good for them.

Michael-Jackson5919d ago (Edited 5919d ago )

US gamers can always import it because the PS3 is region free.

PirateNinjaBunny5919d ago

I shouldn't have to. It's not like the artbook/soundtrack have to be specially localized for the US since EU is getting it. I was going to shell out for a CE if there was one but that's cool, helps take the burden off of my GoW CE. Also if the 360 bundle is only bare console + game whoever buys that has to be crazy unless they already have a massive 360 library and its a replacement unit. If you're going to be buying a console to play this game (no offense guys) but it needs to be PS3.

Myst5919d ago (Edited 5919d ago )

Yeah of the few people that I have talked to in EU and other places in which they can get the special Edition, I just wanted to give them a good luck at my middle finger...

[edit]

At least we all get the same guide I suppose...Or do we...:p?

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle18d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde25d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy26d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga27d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199226d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga26d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman26d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box27d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion26d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7227d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7526d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit26d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14927d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7727d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
