According to a post on 2ch, Final Fantasy XIII will be released in Japan in winter 2009. The release date is said to be shown at the end of the Final Fantasy XIII playable demo included on the Blu-ray release of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete.

The post-demo message reportedly states: "Thank You For Playing! Coming Winter 2009".
