FFXIII still on track for 2009 release

[Gingerbread Lesbian]

Final Fantasy XIII director and writer Motomu Toriyama has said "development is going favourably for a 2009 launch".

That puts the PS3 role-playing game back on track after Square Enix boss Yoichi Wada said the Dragon Quest IX delay may have a knock-on effect.
Toriyama's words spill from the pages of Japanese magazine Famitsu, read and translated by bookworm Kotaku.

Toriyama added that the FXIII demo - due April 16th as part of the Advent Children Complete Blu-ray - will be over an hour long, and designed to be played over and over again.

The content, he said, doesn't reach up to when heroine Lightning meets Snow, the bandana-wearing blonde one with a cheesy grin.
Final Fantasy XIII won't be released here until after April 2010. Europe and North America will also gain an Xbox 360 version, although Square Enix won't start working on that until the PS3 game is on the way to shops in Japan.

Well it's good to see that glitch thingy didn't seem to effect XIII's release date. It's still a little annoying that we have to wait until 2010 but hey, what can you do?

I'd like to get my hands on a copy of the demo, I hope that it will eventually be released on the PSN so I don't have to buy Advent Children Complete, but I doubt it will.

After April 2010 omg that freakin sucks. When will the demo come out in North america? Oh and is there a chance that It will be exactly somewhere in 2010 or only April 2010?

Who says it won't be released after April? All we know is that it will be released sometime after April 2010 which I think is Square Enix's fiscal year.

As for a North American or even European demo, I reckon we won't get one until maybe the beginning of 2010.

Keep on topic please guys.

Even if FFXIII gets released in Japan in 2009, we won't see it until 2010 in Europe / America anyway. With America getting it a few months before Europe too =/

Not buying any of this. That's all lies. LIES!

I still say we'll be getting this game by 2015.
