The source article from Final Fantasy Union did not indicate who exactly uttered those words, but regardless, the statement – in full or in part – is not in the least bit reassuring. The exact words of the Square Enix rep who answered the question on the release date was this: “God knows… Is the truth (laughs). I’ll try!”

The Final Fantasy XIII  demo which came out with Advent Children Complete tagged a Winter 2009 release date. But based on the statement above, prepare yourselves for a 2010 release — which could mean a much later launch for the Western world. Keep your fingers tightly crossed that this ain’t so.
