Square Enix finally announces the release date for Final Fantasy XIII-2. It will be out in Japan on 15 December 2011, and overseas, 31 January 2012. A difference of 1 month plus. If you don’t know Japanese, it’s best to wait for the English release. Or not.. Just get the Japanese release!

Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 game will be at a retail price of 7,980 yen.

And yes, Square Enix knew how successful they were in their FFXIII PS3 Lightning set, so now they’re releasing a Version 2 of the Lightning set. This time it’s a black set of 320GB. Previously it was a white set. The PlayStation 3 Final Fantasy XIII-2 Lightning Edition Version 2 is priced at 37,960 yen, bundled with the Final Fantasy XIII-2 game.

No details announced as to whether the PS3 Lightning Ver.2 would be released outside of Japan. Hope they do!
