No FFXIII This Year

Fielding questions at a Square Enix financial briefing in Tokyo today, president Yoichi Wada said this about Final Fantasy XIII: "It will still take a bit more time. At the very least, [a release] this fiscal year is definitely out of the question."

Japanese is known for being a pretty vague language, but Wada's words were pretty clear. No FFXIII in Japan until some time after May 2008.
