Yesterday we posted a rumor about Final Fantasy XIII’s release date, well now we can confirm that it was indeed true. Yoichi Wada announced that Fina Fantasy XIII will be releasing on December 17 in Japan and will retail for 8,800 yen, or $95 in USD. After the announcement, Kaz Hirai took the stage and went on to confirm a PS3 hardware bundle, though no price or details were listed.
It’s safe to assume that in it’s efforts to be “fair,” Square-Enix won’t be releasing a PS3 bundle here in the States, but still, with a release date finally confirmed for Japan, it brings us one step closer to seeing it in English and on our store shelves.
