Final Fantasy XIII to release world wide before 2010?

Japan’s Famitsu magazine has let slip that gamers can expect Square’s Final Fantasy XIII to receive a global release date before the end of the year.

While we're not exactly fluent in Japanese, RPGfan.com has translated the latest Final Fantasy article from the publication, which appears to confirm a pre-2010 release window for the hotly anticipated RPG:

Final Fantasy XIII is set to hit retail store shelves on both sides of the Pacific sometime later this year.

Hopefully there’s some truth to this statement for fans of the long running franchise – we’ll keep you updated.

     Seeing how SE likes to keep pushing things back, I'd be surprised if this actually happens.

    PSU staff,  don't use the term "global release date" since this is obviously not possible because as they said, it will be 1st released on Playstation 3 Japan, then they will develop the X Box 360 version, and when they finish it, both versions (Playstation 3 & X Box 360 versions) will be launched for EE UU & USA. So a global release date is simply not possible.

    The heck with SE.  I don't want the game.  Making us wait for the PS3 version in the US until the 360 version is a slap in the face.  That is how you treat loyal fans that made your company???

    They finish ps3 version first, port it to 360. Then release both at the same time.

    Square enix could always change their mind and just first release the ps3 version world wide

    I mean this isn't all good.. It's good because we might get to play it ASAP but it could be bad because this might cause them to rush development and not make as good as of a game.....It'll still be amazing anyway!
