Hey everyone,

During Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference, Yōichi Wada made it clear that Final Fantasy XIII would be coming to the Xbox 360 in North America and Europe. During a live question and answer session with Kotaku, Yōichi Wada confirmed that the title would remain exclusive to the PlayStation 3 in Japan; and that it would only be going multi-platform in the two fore-mentioned territories.

I guess you could say that Yōichi Wada wasn’t been completed honest when he said that Final Fantasy XIII would remain a PlayStation 3 exclusive elsewhere, as during a recent Microsoft game exhibition in Taipei; Microsoft announced that Final Fantasy XIII on the Xbox 360 would be hitting Taiwan shelves in the near future.

Microsoft continued to say that they hadn’t decided which localized version would be launched in the Asian territories. This means that the game could go one of either two ways, keeping the original Japanese language track with Chinese/Korean/English subtitles; or it could be in English with Chinese/Korean subtitles. This is good news for Japanese Xbox 360 owners, as if the Asian version of the game keeps the original Japanese language track; it will be possible for Japanese Xbox 360 owners to import the game.
