Square used the occasion to finally nail down a release date for FFXIII in Japan, slating the game for a December 17 release date. When it came to the US release, however, reported that Square-Enix CEO Yochi Wada is hoping for a quick translation turnaround for FFXIII, as he stated "In the past, it's taken a year or half a year to release our games abroad, but this time we are aiming for an international release this Spring".

With the title scheduled to come out on two consoles here (no is planned for Japan), Square's got a lot of work ahead of them to get this game out in the US. GamePro will continue to keep you updated on the game's progress.
