Final Fantasy XIII represents multiple firsts for Square Enix. It’s the first entry in the Final Fantasy game developed for the current generation of consoles. It’s the first Final Fantasy to be released on two consoles at once. It breaks the PlayStation-exclusive precident that started with Final Fantasy VII. And now, it will be the first Final Fantasy game to be translated into Chinese.

Square Enix’s Shinji Hashimoto appeared at the 2010 Taipei Game Show in China to make the announcement. The PS3 version of Final Fantasy XIII will be translated, localized and released in 2010. A more specific release window is mentioned by the Chinese version of PlayStation.com, which states FFXIII will be out in May, 2010.

So, good news for people living in China, or who have an easier time reading and understanding Chinese than English or Japanese! Since the PS3 is region free, you could even import a copy of the Chinese version. Unfortunately, it’ll be a PS3 exclusive in China, just like in Japan.
