Hot the heels of announcing a Japanese release date for Final Fantasy XIII yesterday, it now appears that Square Enix is aiming to nail down a European date for the console RPG in the not too distant future.

Speaking to the chaps at VG247, a company representative stated, “We plan to announce the PAL release timing of Final Fantasy XIII in the very near future.”

The developer previously confirmed that the game would receive a European launch alongside its North American counterpart around spring 2010, though a solid release date has yet to be revealed. Here’s hoping they don’t keep us waiting too long.

Final Fantasy XIII launches in Japan on December 17.

    a lot of people should make it a point not to read too many reviews or judge before ACTUALLY playing it yourself.

    Don't worry, i've also done this many times, and i've learned from it. Times i've sat and said, would i have really thought this or felt this if i wasnt told about it before hand? Happened to me a lot with movies and other things too.

    Just give it a proper go, and go from there. Your opinion could be different. Don't blindy follow others :)
