Final Fantasy XIII 2009 Japan Release Date Confirmed

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.

And now I know for certain this game will be bland. Hideo Kojima stated that it was impossible to transfer MGS4 to the 3.6.0. because of not only its size, but what was done within the software. Perhaps that's debatable, but the news that this game will be showing up on the RRoD bods real doubt in me for any true technological breakthru in regards to the company.
I'm sick of characters being melded into one for traveling, I'm tired of three team battles, and I'm wore out by emo thick narratives and over done "End of the World" climatic crescendos. I want characters to change by my actions and have the story reflect it. I want a little western influence and mix it up a bit of Fallout 1~2 into it and be allowed to make a moronic tank flub up or save the world from evil whatevers! Maybe a devilish politician with and teleprompter ghost to amaze the masses before destroying them all! A rock star who delved into the occult of (insert here) and spew stupid dribble about how the man created crystal power sources of the land is robbing us of trees and little club seals!
That's what I want now and this little preety bubble of a bubble gum just doesn't feel like it'll do it now.
enjoy your mass effect.
also XBOX FUCKING SUCKS
theyre going to delay it.
fucking enix
FFXIV will probably come out before this one.
It's awhile off. I'll need to get a ps3 before it comes out. Anyway I just found out that Dissidia is coming out at the end of august in america. That should keep me busy till i can get my hands on xiii.
Don't know why...but I hate the red head...she looks ugly...no, fugly.
I think they should stop calling this final fantasy and just start giving it their own names.
well all that's good with square-enix is now mistwalker so the new name is "lost odyssey". honestly i doubt that will get a sequel. so they'll have different names from now. if this ff fails then im not going to se for games anymore. it so isnt square-enix that did anything good but everything was sakakguchi after all he hasn't been with square since what ffx. then he ran off and made mistwalker and lost odyssey beat ffxii hands down after all.
I miss 2D. The world is Square, not cube.
man... i really miss the old FF series's gameplay (i.e. FF-FF9. FF10 and onwards are getting off track). and this FFXIII is getting worst, i actually stopped playing FF from X-2 because of the new stupid fighting/battle system.
anyone out there feels the same?
in what dimension is the gameplay in FFVII/VIII even nearly the same as FF-FFIV/FFIX?
plus FFX-2 used a system much like FFV... heck, even FFX used some kind of modification/amalgamation of a FFIII/IV system
huh? i have no clue what u're talking about. FF-FF10 all have similar "traditional" RPG fighting system. i.e., not those action/moving types in FF11 or FF12...
FFX and onwards can't wander around the world map. which sucks
hey, how come you're lumping FF10 together with FF9 now? Make up your damn mind...
And no, FFVIII in particular is nothing like the others...
Ono Daisuke as Snow = WANT!
Can't wait for this! :D
This game made use wait for so long that i didn't even give a damn anymore! 2010? Like i care! Square Enix can't innovate anymore like 20 years ago.
Well I hope at least the main character is not a bitch like Vann was in XII, he was so annoying.
oooo i can't wait for this to come out i am so getting this for the ps3 cuz i have one :P this game looks good!! but not just good but AWWEESSOOMMEE!!!!
the girl at the top looks like a new rendition of rikku from ff x-2, however i love the look of this game and the winter 09 will mean that it will be out in japan around the 21st to 31st of december as they have had succecful slaes from this time before, and as for the rest of the world on ps3 we should get it around this time next year then a little while after that for the xbox probably.
lol, another FF. All I see in the games now and days is "Ooooh, look at the pretty graghics". Meh, don't care.
At least it isn't a PS3 exclusive.
looking forward on this one =3
Wait, that was a woman in the video?
I wonder what it would be like if they did a 360 beta like for Tales of Vesperia XD
FF9 was the last real FF, 10 was handicaped 12 gets some things right but equipment is bland and skills broken... I hope 13 finally gets some new DNA of it...being a bastard child of rich siblings dose not make for a good FF game....
Oh and wait till winter of 010 to release it world wide...non of this non beta release in the form of "FF international "......
i wish they would put out some actual gameplay footage instead of the cg trailers.

that honestly looks like what they did with lost odyssey. shit was so awesome at the opening battle but, after the first battle it went straight back to the whole my line vs. your line gig. most likely its combat is going to be sick the first ten minutes then fall back to what 12 looked like.
What the hell was so awesome about the first battle?! You get a really cool FMV that segues into a fight (while everybody takes a break to watch it seems) with one of the silliest robots I've ever seen, and of which I beat by ATTACK.. DEFEND.. ATTACK.. DEFEND.. SUPER ATTACK.. DEFEND.. ad nauseuming it to fall apart.
Wee.....
That's awesome?! Dang, that you've got some low..low.. Low expectations for casual entertainment.
i meant apearence you idiot not the battle itself the who cutscene thing they had going on
I enjoyed Lost odyssey. The first battle was awesome, but then it slowed for a bit. It was more of a roller coaster with it's ups and downs.

No more news about the PC version we heard rumors about? ='(
theres rumors about everything. expecially games.
(lol bungee quit microsuck now ps3 iz gonna get teh haloz) yeah right... the honest truth bungee cant make halo because they quit.
ya i really dont like Final Fantasy i just like the girls there hot
lol the girls yeah right we all know you fapped to barret
haha, and he will probably fap to the new black guy on FF13, that's why he's exited.
id fap to him dudes fucking awesome. you dont make fun of a man who keeps a bird in his hair.
Release The Last Remnant first? Then we should talk about the new FF.
i hope it wont fail like 12 did.
i think thats just because no one was paying attention to the ps2 at the time if they made it a ps3 release then it would have sold better. or if they did what theyre doing noweveryone has this"ZOMG MULTICONSOLE RELEASE" "LOL ECKSBAWKS IS SO GETTING TROLLED" and realy just a bunch of nonsenseical buzz going on around it. most likly a top seller now sense everyone has either or console as well.
why sell a game with PS2 graphics as a PS3 game?
Don't you think all the fans of FF probably had PS2 but most still didn't have PS3 when 12 came out? The day the special edition FF13 PS3 comes out will be the day I buy a PS3!
i had a ps3 when 12 came out. id have rather played it on ps3 than a ps2 and could honestly care less about the ps2.
i hope 13 fails because 12 was really fun
lol @ troll..
in before ffrandomnumber against ffrandomothernumber war ?
Also, is it just me, or the girl in the picture doesn't have that much of a sex appeal ?
FFVII > you
Also... she's cute, but that's it. I really see what you mean. she's a bit dull looking.
FF VI > FF VII
FF IV > FF I II III V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII
The fur, not much boobage, and beads ruin it.
It's the hair, it contrasts with her face in a =/ way.
I'd yuri her.
Glad to hear that. If, by any chances, we'll find ourselves going to hit on girls, we won't have any troubles about wanting to hit the same one, having different needs.
I'd yuri you too(^O^).
So i finally found out your gender sista!
lol she's let it slip a little while ago, I can't remember which topic it was but it seemed to me apparent that only a woman would have said something like what was said about gender.
She looks like a really unoriginal design, is my problem, like someone just took Yuna and gave her a dye job.
Also in before the fairly realistic render leads to 3D IS YUCK PIG DISGUSTING.
The girl in the OP looks like Pippi Longstocking, no matter how much I squint at her.
yes!! thank you.
and why do all FF characters have to be festooned with 150 meaningless accessories these days? like on-screen advertisements for hot topic.
i wouldn't call that a pig. disgusting maybe. or rather, unappealing 3d thing.
or like a Rikku with new tan and hair.
The design for this one doesnt look as good as the previous ones.. though I guess it's still alright ^^
Welcome to 3D world my friend.
it's not like nia and nono had sex appeal until later ;3
