Since it was confirmed that this game is coming out in 2008 in Japan, and the TGS trailer had English voice acting, do you think this game is getting released in 2008 outside of Japan too?
Ummm, a 2008 release date hasn't actually been confirmed or even suggested by Square. It's just many peoples prediction. Also the TGS trailer didn't have English voice acting. It just had a very Engrish narration by a Japanese woman.
The simultaneous release date was suggested by Square's president of America and Europe but it was only an idea. They were also very vague about whether it was a worldwide release or just an American and Japanese one which is most likely.
A simultaneous release is possible of course, if you think about it, it's a pretty good business move...but nothing has been confirmed yet. And the game will probably come out early 2009, considering the delays these games usually go through.

Unless the English version is being made along-side the Japanese version I seriously doubt a simultaneous release. Localisation takes a very long time with final fantasies - especially with the new entries into the series.

It takes a long time because Square are lazy bastards that just now said "We want to expand more into the Western Market." aka "We didn't care much at first but we trying now!" Better late then never.
So then it world make more sense to have both the english and japanese recordings done at about the same time for the simultaneous release I hope the do that way.
2008...summer would be high hopes, but holiday 2008 would be my guess.

It's most likely going to be around the same time as RESI 5, a 2009 bench mark isn't really that optimistic, think how much they are physically working with all that Programming and super sexy textures, hopefully the 'supposed' Real-Time render shall be a reality.
I'm defiantly setting my hopes high because it will be a visually stunning game (hopefully D
Sidderz: Importing is good, even though i imported Crisis Core and i don't understand hardly and Japanese, i enjoyed the game, but if Square are setting for a Jap/American simultaneous release then importing from America would be a good idea. I'll most likely do the same if we have to hold on another 5-9 months just so they can sort out the language barriers which are ridiculously wide around Europe. CURSE OUR STUPID ARRAY OF LANGUAGES!

Can I see that TGS trailer? Pls give me a link
I think its going out in 2008 because I they are focusing more on it than Kingdom Hearts. I heard that it will be released in the early part of 2008. Has anyone confirmed this? Am not really sure about the Jan 1 release. But they said early in 2008.

Reason: additional things to say
Bu considering the TGS 07 Trailer had English voice acting, it's a promise for a Japanese/American simultaneous release.
But now with the PS3 being region free, wouldn't you have thought they would place the UK along with America and Japan, considering America and England are virtually the same apart from a few grammer differences American and UK games don't or hardly ever differ.
I know America and Japan are large regions and are great to release games from, but aren't the UK a large region as well, ok we live on a separate island which is around 2 times smaller, but we still have a large gaming community.
I just can't understand why they wouldn't consider this, because i don't want to be paying an import tax (if necessary) just so i can have a game a few months earlier which will be exactly the same when released in the UK.
2008...
