At a recent press event in London, Final Fantasy XIII producer Yoshinori Kitase has stated that it's likely Europe will recieve the game sometime late next year.

Discuss in the FFXIII forum

Square Enix hopes to release the European version of Final Fantasy XIII “sooner than a year later than the Japanese release”, producer Yoshinori Kitase has said.

Given that Final Fantasy XIII looks like it will be released this Christmas in Japan, Europeans are faced with the prospect of having to wait till Christmas 2010 before getting their hands on the stunning-looking JRPG.

    Meh. I'm just going to import it from the states anyway. Usually saves a lot of time. And money.

    Anyone know if there's any possibility that they've already included English subtitles in the Japanese version? I've heard that some PS3 games already have a lot of languages on the disc when they're released in Japan, though that may have been false rumors.
