Square-Enix speaks out about Releases
Over the past couple of weeks, there has been a lot of rumors about release dates, including 1UP.com reporting a delayed release date of November. Prior contact with Square-Enix advised of no previous US release date being announced. Finally, a confirmation from Square-Enix has been given to check the latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly for information on the release. Which is the source that 1UP.com had previously reported. So it looks like our clarification has now come. They advise that no collectors edition or special features have yet to be decided on.
