Square-Enix officially announced today the release date for their upcoming epic RPG, Final Fantasy XII.  All Chocobo loving fans should mark their calendars on March 9th, 2010 as being the day this current generation of consoles to finally get a new Final Fantasy title.

Final Fantasy XIII will feature a new battle system (which has been the recent trend of new Final Fantasy games), summon system, HD graphics, and a storyline that’s promised to be an “emotional experience”.

The title will be made available on both the PS3 & Xbox 360, which is one of the first times a Final Fantasy title is being launched on multiple platforms on the same day.  During Microsoft E3 2008 press conference, it was revealed Final Fantasy XIII would be making its way to the Xbox 360.  No details yet on how many discs the Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII will be packaged as its expected the PS3 version will simply take up 1 Blu-Ray disc.
