Release date confirmed in Japan

[Momiji]

The latest promotional event supporting the release of long awaited PS3 (and soon after, Xbox 360) killer app Final Fantasy XIII has officially dated the game for a 2009 winter release in Japan.

If they keep to their schedule, this will mean international releases to follow in early 2010 (sadly they did not opt for a simultaneous release), as well as the Xbox 360 port (but not for Japan) thereafter.

Square has been hugely reluctant to put any date on the game prior to this, so observers are confident they will not have too much difficulty reaching the date, and do after all have a playable beta they are happy to show off.
