We're all jealous that gets to enjoy the full version of XIII before the end of the year. That's a fact. But how long will the western world have to wait? Just ask Yoichi Wada as quoted by Kotaku.

"We've completed the master of the Japanese version, and for the and European versions we're just adding the final touches," offered Wada. "The last stage of has gone very smoothly this time."

The reports seem positive, but as we already know, any amount of time waiting for a Final Fantasy title seems like an eternity. Let's hope Square-Enix doesn't let us down.

We will update you accordingly as we come up with more.
