Final Fantasy XIII Release Date Confirmed

Square Enix confirmed tonight at a Japanese press event that Final Fantasy XIII will indeed be out on December 17. Least, that's when it'll be out in Japan.

The date isn't a surprise - not after it was accidentally leaked by Square on the company's YouTube site - but still, it's nice to get confirmation.

It's priced at ¥8800 (¥9240 with tax), which works out to be USD$95 (USD$100). So, yeah, expensive.

As for a Western release date, sadly all Square Enix would say was "Spring". Which we knew already. Ah well! Stay tuned for more news throughout the evening.
