Yoshinori Kitase knows things about the North American and European versions of Final Fantasy XIII that we don’t. And he should -- he’s the producer for the title. The man is making the rounds in Cologne, teasing release windows and dropping statistics and other tiny tidbits about the upcoming release.
In a 1UP interview, Kitase said that the North American Xbox 360 version of the game is 70 percent finished. He also noted that all the voice-work is recorded.
Sounds like solid progress, right? It is. And that means we’ll be getting the game sooner rather than later. As in next year sooner, that is. At a recent gamescom gathering, Kitase said that the NA and European localisations of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game would ship simultaneously in Spring 2010 while the Japanese versions will hit winter 2010. Riveting!
FFXIII this spring? We'll take that. How about you?

No wai!
Anyway this is a day one purchase for me. glad to know I won't have to wait that long
Star Ocean IV, was also on three discs; for some reason I thought FFXIII was going to have at least one more. Anyway, it wasn't a bother at all with Star Ocean nor do I expect it to be with FF.
Yeah, I doubt they ever make the western markets a priority over their local market.
I'm from Australia so our Spring is in September to November. When is Spring in America? I am hoping it is Q1 :)
However, if they stick to their plan for FFXIV, it will be only 6 months between XIII and XIV. :P
