Sony signs as European Squaresoft publisher

[04.18.01] » The Bouncer and Final Fantasy X first on the list for trans-Atlantic releases.

   The good news for European Squaresoft fans is that the company is once again taking steps to release its games for PAL territories; the bad news is that it may take quite some time to get there. Sony is partnering with Square to bring The Bouncer and Final Fantasy X to Europe, and they'll be doing a thorough job. "Our development teams have worked very hard to get the very best quality games for PlayStation 2 and we are sure that SCEE will do a great job for us in the PAL territories." Indeed, SCEE is going so far as to localize both games into 5 new languages, which one may assume includes new voice acting. The Bouncer is due this summer, while Final Fantasy X is currently set for the middle of next year.
