I got the E-mail as well. Just can't wait to finally get a copy of a real deal instead of a demo. Now... question is, will it all live up to the hype or... will we be denied such pleasure. All shall be prevailed on the final date. Now... countdown... begins... NOW!

MWAHAHA ^_^

Finnaly a release date......what took them so long!!!!

I'm definitely going for the Collector's Edition. Its just 10 more bucks and that price point doesn't surprise me at all since X360 games are that same price. I just hope that its a worthy Final Fantasy, I hope its a masterpiece, I'm expecting it to be a good game just to lower my expectations. Definitely a 40/40 from Famitsu (I don't care if people say there was some money involved, I'm blind like that sometimes) must mean somethimg, right?

Yeah I heard this from the neighbor next to me at work today, has me excited and disappointed. Means I have to wait until the very last day of October to actually start playing the game. I loved the demo and I do not think they will be able to make it worse, simply because I love the battle system. I will admit the special edition is tempting.

I just read about it now, it may be a bit longer to reach here (Still haven't got Kingdom Hearts 2 yet ). But its been ages since I've played a new RPG so I am looking foward to see how much they've improved and the new story. I remember the same feeling before FFX.

Yay! An actual date to obsess over! Halloween, bitches.

Oh my day hath attained an even brighter tone.

i don't care about the US, just give me the date when it comes out in the UK, it said it would be out now but i avn't seen it anywhere. someone just plz tell me!!!!!!!!!

Same Odin still no KHII. and I want that before FFXII, shame i hoped they'd scrap the combat and go turn based again, but maybe that's just me. Nice to have an American release date, seems that 2007 is a viable date of Europe now, It'll be a wait but a new FF is worth it, even if im not sold on the battle system is employs =/

Cool. Can't wait.

Now... I really enjoyed the demo, but of course I will be curious abour ertain things. Of course Airships and Chocobos will be implimited into the title, but will they be atleast a bit better than that of X? I sure hope so.

[Drake Teglen]

Well Hooray for the last FF game I'll get to play for a long time. I don't see a PS3 anywhere in my future, unless the price cuts in half. Hopefully this one will be good enough to replay, and I'll have to go back and play all the old ones again.

Here I was thinking that EB games was telling the truth to me when they said it would come out August 5th
