Last year, Square Enix claimed that Final Fantasy XIV would be released in 2010, but since then they've been pretty quiet about the game's release. However, in an interview with RPGSite.net, they have reaffirmed their statement.

Hiromichi Tanaka, the producer of Final Fantasy XIV said "Yes, that (2010 release) is the plan. In fact, we were planning to bring the Director, Komoto-san to this interview as well, but he had to remain in Japan to work on the game, so it is really at a critical finishing stage at the moment. We hope you and your readers will enjoy the game when it arrives later this year!"

Hopefully things go as planned, because Final Fantasy XIV is shaping up to be a great title - one that MMO fans, and fans of Final Fantasy should definitely check out.
