FFXIII Producers Say Game Will Use Phoenix Down On Japanese Game Industry
FFXIII is selling pretty well in Japan, and the producers of the game have some ambitious expectations of what they think the game will do for the Japanese game industry.
When asked by the European PlayStation Blog on their feelings about the Japanese game industry, the producers responded “Some people have been saying that the Japanese game industry is dead, and all that…. I dunno. I will say that Final Fantasy XIII is one really epic title for high definition consoles. With this game, we are going to resurrect the whole thing.”
We hope that Square Enix can follow through on this resurrection. However, if they would have cast Regen they never would have ended up in this mess.
