Indeed the release date. Was about to post this on the front page, came to check and see if anyone had mentioned it yet. It's a YouTube ad that started today. There's also some kind of pre-TGS Squenix event happening in a day or so.

The kanji there basically says "It's Announced!", I think.

Yay! I can finally get some quality info on the title in a few months hopefully.

This makes me happy in ways I can only begin to describe. :D Though as Joystiq said, there's still plenty of time to delay it. :p

I was curious about that price. Apparently thats not uncommon for Japan, where developers like to charge whatever they want. I'll bet you it wont be like that in the EU or US though, because apparently its been like this for a long time.

Well actually, it will still be around 50-60 euros in germany and 40-50 pounds in england so its really only the US which won't have to pay so much................... grrrrrrr

So I've still got time to rob some banks in order to pay for it. Cool. Glad it's being released soon though. Been looking forward to it!
