Unfortunately, this release date was proven false when a Square Enix representative stated,

"No, that is not correct, we don't have a launch date for Kingdom Hearts yet... hopefully that will come in the next couple of months,"

and then added,

"Dissidia was announced for mid-year 2009, and also doesn't have a release date."

And so, Dissidia: Final Fantasy is still set for its Mid-Year 2009 release. Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days is still on track for a Japanese release date of May 30, 2009.

This isn't stopping Square Enix from publishing the game in Japan, however, as they were the first to jump to it after Activison discontinued it's Japanese publishing.

Many are curious as you why Square Enix was the first to pick it up, as James Bond type games aren't their typical focus. But hey, even Japan needs a little superspy action, who could deny them that?

For those interested in Japanese spy games, Quantum of Solace is set for a March 26th release.

"There are no current plans for a sequel. To be honest, I wanted to do one up until a few months ago. I even called [Mitsunori] Takahashi, the planning director, and [Ryuji] Ikeda, the lead programmer, to talk about sequel concepts -- I told them to think about what they were going to do and prepare themselves [to make a sequel]."

Dissidia: Final Fantasy is slated for a Mid 2009 release in North America, following it's December 18th release in Japan.
