I highly doubt with all the interviews he has taken and said " We don't want to keep players waiting to long to play FFXIV" then turn around and make us wait till December of 2013. Not saying that's not possible.. but I can tell he's a sincere man and when he says he's going to do something, he does it. I still feel around March 2013 will be a nice release month for the Taxes and what not.
