FFXIII dev “going favourably” for 2009 launch, says Square

By Patrick Garratt

FFXIII director and writer Motomu Toriyama has told Famitsu that, “Development is going favourably for a 2009 launch.”

The comment comes after company boss Yoichi Wada warned that the quadruple-A project may be pushed back thanks to Dragon Quest IX’s now-confirmed slip.

The RPG is slated only for Japanese release – and only for PS3 – this year. Versions for other territories, including the 360 SKU, will follow later.

Thanks, Kotaku.
