Yeah, they stated it was originally TBA 2010 and potentially into 2011 or later given the dual development of FFXI's Wings of the Goddess. Given enough time they would have realized using the crystal tools engine as well was a bad decision, since it was still early enough to develop a custom engine or switch over to say unreal at that point, or even XI's engine with modifications.
