The 3rd Birthday? Hajime Tabata and his team are done with that game. Over Twitter, the director of The 3rd Birthday, said Final Fantasy Agito XIII is keeping him busy now. Even though the team didn’t get a vacation, Tabata says morale is high.



He also mentioned some of Final Fantasy Agito XIII’s concepts. The world view is a fantasy conflict between four sides. Battles are deadly clashes between weapons and magic. The game also looks at the two sides of reality, the ordinary and extraordinary.



Square Enix will start promoting Final Fantasy Agito XIII with new information next year. While fans are waiting, Tabata encourages them to try The 3rd Birthday. The style of both games differ, but The 3rd Birthday, according to Tabata, demonstrates what kind of game his team can make for PSP.

Probably in our case, 2012. Happy 2011 Japan, I salute my finger to you.

Translations happen faster than they used to. It'll happen over here within 3 months of JP release. Since production on it was decent before they moved everyone to XIII's team, it should get completed soon.

It depends on the popularity of the game. In Final Fantasy's case, it is a close time frame with one another. Took us a year to get Dragon Quest 9, 7 months for KH: BBS, and almost a year for Dissidia.

But anyways, I am willing to bet that Agito comes out before Versus.

I'm fairly certain Agito is further along in production than Versus..
Perhaps Versus started earlier, but given the nature of the game and the platform is on, Agito probably ends up being a smaller project than Versus... at least thats what i think

Localization should be pretty fast. I expect this partly because its an FF title and in recent times the average release date delay is like 3 months, which either means that localization is starting earlier, or they're just getting better at it, or both...
Agito shares some mythos with XIII so I'd assume the same localization team (or at least a continuity director) is managing that already.. It should move quicker than an average game...
