We've already pointed out a handful of times that there are just a few too many JRPGs boldly standing up against
Final Fantasy XIII's near-guaranteed dominance in terms of sales. It seems that at least one of those is moving out of its previously believed
same-day release date with FFXIII, with Sega telling us in a press release yesterday afternoon that the it's "happy to announce that
Resonance of Fate, the next RPG coming from tri-Ace, will be launching in North America on March 16" on both Xbox 360 and PS3.
Clearly Sega is counting on die-hard
FF fans to rush through the big release in under 168 hours, just in time for its bullet-riddled affair. We'll certainly see how it all shakes out in a few months when the sales numbers arrive, but we're betting the ground will be littered with chocobo feathers when it does.
Resonance of Fate launches March 16 (yes, one week after Final Fantasy XIII) originally appeared on Joystiq on Sat, 13 Feb 2010 19:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
