Unlike most of the others titles in the Final Fantasy series, we have known about XIII for an incredibly large amount of time. Japanese game developers always keep tight lipped about their important projects, only releasing a bit more information once or twice a year. As we near the Japanese release for the game, things are changing as the minds of the people are swept up by Final Fantasy XIII.
At a Tokyo Q & A session Square Enix president, Yoichi Wada, said that the release date for Final Fantasy XIII will be announced in “a few weeks”. Although no specific indication was given by Wada in this direction, the announcement could happen at the Tokyo Game Show near the end of September.
Wada also went on to say that the game would be present in some form in September at the Tokyo Game Show, although that could be taken in several directions.
Final Fantasy XIII is currently set to release in Japan near the end of 2009, while North America will wait on Spring 2010.

I just love announcements of announcements, don’t you guys?
I will comment on this article “in a few seconds.”
And here it is:
This is coming out on both PS3 and 360, right? Time to see if achievements really sell a game better than FFVII fanboy-mania after the re-release of VII on PSN.
It’ll have trophies on PS3 though, so it’s not really a comparison.
