Eurogamer are reporting that Square Enix have confirmed a Winter 2009 release date for Final Fantasy XIII in Japan. The date was shown upon completion of the new FFXIII demo.
That date was pictured at the end of the PS3 FFXIII demo, which is included in the Blu-ray release of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children - due out tomorrow in Japan and in June in North America.
