Final Fantasy XIII only 13 percent complete, 2009-2010 release date likely?

Over eight months ago we reported that Final Fantasy XIII was estimated to be 3% complete. This week Square Enix said at the Tokyo PlayStation Premiere press conference that the PS3-exclusive RPG sequel is currently 13% complete.

Meanwhile the PS3 spin-off, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, only jumped from 1% completion last year to 1.3% this year.

At this rate it’ll take them six years to finish FFXIII, of course development isn’t that slow, so an expected late 2008 release in Japan would suggests a 2009 release worldwide. All guesses of course, but the above screenshot from the trailer last year is all you’re going to see for a while. IGN is hopeful to see more from both games at the Tokyo Game Show in September 2007.

Update: Now that a Final Fantasy XIII demo won’t be out in Japan until March 2009, the game will likely not see a release date worldwide until the 2009-2010 period.

Final Fantasy changed my life….might sound corny to some.
And mcjake hahaha, hillarious.
The ps controller pwns xbox anyday. But all in all, everyone should be able to play ff- without having to buy another console…
I love the people making ff and I don’t love easily.
I really really love you guys….I really do….
The day you stop making ff that’ll be the day I lose my soul.
