Final Fantasy XIII confirmed for next spring!

Yoshinori Kitase, the producer of Final Fantasy XIII, has announced today at Gamescom that the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 version will be released simultaneously next spring in North America and Europe.

“We don’t have the actual month down yet, but in Japan it’s scheduled for a winter release, and in Europe and North American territories it’s spring 2010,” said the developer.

He also said that the team has made significant headway in cutting down the wait for North America and Europe.

“For previous titles it took usually about a year to localise each version and bring it over to Europe, but for this title there should be a considerably shorter gap and [we'll] bring it to European territories as close to the North American release as possible,” he said.
