According to an ad that is set to run on YouTube in Japan, December 17, 2009 is the date that Final Fantasy 13 is going to be released. Thus officially starts the countdown to an international release.
The Tokyo Game Show is in a few weeks, and even before that Square-Enix is having a special event, so we can expect even more details from that.
