Well, I did some research, and the big sites still say whats posted above, plus I can't read german so that doesn't really help.

However, I found this, and its alittle awkward.

GameSpy: Final Fantasy XII
Final Fantasy 12 Trailer (05/18/05) - Direct feed from the Sony conference ... Final Release Date Announced for FFXII (08/01/05)
Now, obviously thats either incredibly outdated, or its the simple date of the article. Either way, its suposedly the "final" release date. My guess though, is its outdated, and the "final release date" for the japanese version.

Anyhow, until I see some bigger websites confirming that its being delayed, again, I'm going to keep it what it is, for now.
