Although the Final Fantasy XIII Premiere was last week, Gametrailers has just uploaded footage of the announcements made at the event. Almost all of the information shown in the videos was covered by the livebloggers at the event but they serve as official confirmation.

One of the major announcements Kitase confirms in the video is that Final Fantasy XIII should hopefully be released overseas 3 months after the Japanese release. They don't mention specifically which region they mean but we should expect to see it released outside of Japan in March 2010. This upgrades the liveblogger's impression that it was coming out 6-8 months from now to a more specific timeframe. If you want to view the videos of the event, follow the links below.
