FFXIII demo confirms full game's release date

The end of the Japanese Final Fantasy XIII demo reveals the game's release date.

Included in the Blu-ray release of the CG animated film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is the exclusive demo of Final Fantasy XIII.

Said to be over an hour long, the demo includes quite a few surprises towards its end. The first of which being the game's Japanese release date; Winter 2009 - as can be seen by the screenshot below.

We presumed that the game would be releasing this year for the PlayStation 3 in Japan, but after reading that the demo would not be that representative of the final game, we thought that development might have fallen back.

The game will meet the rest of the world (and the Xbox 360) at some point in 2010, but if you can speak Japanese why not import the game for your PlayStation 3 this winter?

  • "Ahh I can't wait for this game!! I only wish there would be Japanese audio (with English subs of course) instead of the terrible American/English dubbing they ruin all Japanese games with.. But I know there wont be.. :( Anyway, it's gonna be 2010 before we get it so I'm just gonna have to hope my 60GB PS3 doesn't die before then lol, cuz I will die if I don't have this game on it's release day!"
