Final Fantasy has in recent years been a very PlayStation orientated franchise, but when Square Enix announced it would be coming to the Xbox 360, many were curious as to how it would sell.
Well, we have some information, for the UK at least, where Chart-Track have disclosed that the PlayStation 3 version of Final Fantasy XIII contributed 54 percent of total sales. Considering the amount of marketing Microsoft has been doing, with the Xbox 360 bundle, and Xbox 360 exclusive TV ads, some might actually see this is something of a failure. However, they have still managed to take a huge chunk out of Sony's profits, so from that perspective it was still a result.
For anyone still holding out in Europe for the downloadable version of Dissidia: Final Fantasy, today is your day. Square Enix has announced that as of now, the Final Fantasy fighter is available for download on the PlayStation Network via PS3 or PSP, for £24.99.
The game was previously released in Europe on disc around the same time as it did in North America, but for whatever reason North America received the PSN version of the game way back in November, leaving Europe and other PAL regions out in the cold.
Up until now, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers only had a release date in Japan and North America, and fans in Europe were starting to get worried that the game wouldn't be seen in their territory. However, a release has now been confirmed, along with a prospective release window.
Following the merger between Square Enix and Eidos, it was unclear how publishing would work, but it's now been revealed that Eidos will be publishing the title in Europe. According to Eidos France the game will actually be arriving on the Nintendo Wii in February of 2010.
This is great news for fans of the spin-off series, as they won't have to wait that long to play the game.
Up until now, gamers in PAL territories had been left in the dark about when Dissidia: Final Fantasy would be released. While many online retailers had produced estimates based off of the North American release date, nothing official had ever been announced by Square Enix until now.
They are pleased to announce that Dissidia: Final Fantasy will be released on the 4th of September, 2009, which is only a week after the North American release. This quashes any fears gamers had about having to wait months for a localised version, and really sets a precedence for Square Enix moving forward.
Following on from the announcement of Dissidia: Final Fantasy's release in PAL regions, Square Enix have also unveiled the box art which will feature on the Limited Edition version of the game, scheduled to come out on the same day.

It was announced a while back that Dissidia: Final Fantasy would be released in North America, but Square Enix kept their European audiences wanting to find out if the game would also be released in their territory. Well, the news has now been made official that Dissidia: Final Fantasy will be released in Europe.
No concrete date has been set by Square Enix yet, but the official press release stated that it would arrive at some point during the Autumn period of 2009, which sounds roughly about the same time as the North American release date. Who knows, perhaps they might even be released on the same date?
