Yoichi Wada, the global president of Square Enix, believes the US and European launch of Final Fantasy XIII is “going very steadily.” Speaking with GamesIndustry.biz, Wada said the development process for FFXIII has been the biggest undertaking in Square’s history, but the US and European versions are in the last stages of development.
“We've completed the master of the Japanese version, and for the US and European versions we're just adding the final touches," he said. "The last stage of development has gone very smoothly this time.
"It took us a tremendous amount of time to develop the software for this generation, so that's a lesson for the creators."
Speaking about the release of the PlayStation 3 Slim, he said the best scenario would have been for just one console worldwide, but since there are multiple popular platforms, the hope is for a long hardware cycle.
"The ideal situation for developers would be to have a single platform worldwide - but that's impossible, so with multi-platform, if you can expand your user base, I think we have to accept that reality."

I have lost all faith in Squenix since it was changed from Square-Soft. I'm going to have t wait and see if they are full of BS.
