It is now looking more likely that a worldwide simultaneous release might just happen for Final Fantasy 13 and Final Fantasy Versus 13. The Square Enix president, Yoichi Wada, has said that he wishes simultaneous releases of Square Enix games to become the standard.
He added to this by saying the western market is much more interested in the Japanese style games Square Enix is famous for and now provides them more business than Japan alone.
Wada now wishes to join together the two stages of creating the Japanese release and then translating it.
The above was translated from

The game software, overseas shift - - game software each company such as スク ENI and simultaneous sale スクウェア エニックス strengthens overseas business in the world. Taste of service and the foreign country of the European-American bases (it does and like this) it develops the software which is and raises the gross sales ratio of the foreign country.
The domestic game software company so far designated the Japanese market as the main battlefield, but market scale North America and Europe exceeds Japan largely. Domestic each company 訴 seeking does the brand of the "Japanese make game" in the overseas market which continues growth, opposes to the European-American major companies. As for スクウェア エニックス translating the game software which was developed so far in Japan in local language, the example which sells several months later was many.
In the future "simultaneous sale is designated as standard", (President Yoichi Wada). Besides the fact that you aim for the improvement of efficiency of the advertisement and sale, it keeps examining also the development base establishment in the foreign country and the sale etc. of the overseas make software.

Hopefully they follow through with this, I for one, would be really happy
