		<description><![CDATA[Right. There&#8217;s something on Famitsu about the Street Fighter IV arcades saving your progress on data cards and you being able to access your stats via your mobile, but if we&#8217;re being honest, we don&#8217;t really understand it.
Luckily, Kotaku has made semi-sense of it for you.

According to this NeoGaf post, which apparently comes from &#8220;an EA employee&#8221;, Final Fantasy XIII is wending its merry way towards a December release in Japan.
The poster claims that the game won&#8217;t release simultaneously worldwide, instead heading to Europe and the States in 2009.
Make of it what you will.
