English only for FFXIII on 360?
No Japanese support due to memory constraints
Memory issues may mean that the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII supports only the English language, that's the word from producer Yoshinori Kitase.
The PS3 version, meanwhile, will offer both Japanese and English support because of the extra storage space afforded to the game thanks to the Blu-ray disc format.
"Obviously, when we talk about XIII it's for PS3 and Xbox - with PS3 being on Blu-ray there would be enough memory, but on Xbox probably not," the producer explained to IGN.
"At the moment we're thinking of releasing the voice in English only. Are there many people who would like to play with Japanese voices?"
The game will only be released on the Xbox 360 (and the PS3) in the West, with Japan sticking with the PS3 exclusively.
More on all things Final Fantasy as we get it.

I think that 360 owners should be satisfied enough already due to the fact that FFXIII made it to their console. The 360's capacity can barely store one language and you guys want TWO? Good luck with that. You need to understand that you will have to get up your @$$ at least once in every battle to change discs during the game right? You wanna triple that? Perhaps it will be smart to predict that FFXIII gamers on a 360 are subject to lose weight from getting up and down so frequently. Think people, THINK!
