Sorry for my ignorance, is this the ENglish version or Japanese? If English, I will buy the XBOX 360.

Yes, that is sad. I called and asked the game shop I usually goes to and he said that FFXIII is only for NTSC/U and not region free and the whole of Malaysia does not sell NTSC/U Xbox.

So, if I want to play, I had to buy the PS3 which is not something I am willing to spend on right now.

I called another just to confirm and the sales lady said the same. How sad.

I thought Australasia is getting on March 9, 2010. Same time with North America. If we are not playing the Australia set, then what set are we playing? Asian?

Checked in Wiki and found nothing about an Asian copy. WHY?!?!

Ok, since we are designated as Asians and has the same region settings as Japan, wouldnt that make our FF13 Japanese set? Will we never get it in English?

Sorry, I am new to this whole XBOX idea, all just for FF13. As I am aware, we are getting Singapore set, is this NTSC/? or PAL like Australia's?

Hi xxboxx,

Thanks for your explanation. It is clear. One last question;

If Asia countries are using NTSC/J, which is same region is Japan. Does that not mean that we need to be able to understand the Japanese language to be able to play FFXIII?

Guys,

Thanks for your explanation. I had thought that the XBOX will be my gateway to play FFXIII but then now it's not, it's yet another disappointment.

I will put this idea behind me now and come back later once Square Enix release this for our market. My, this whole region lock thing is terrible.
