But that's exactly the case according to the US PlayStation Blog, which pegs the English version of the sequel-sequel for "next winter."

Of course, this is the time of Netflix Instant Watch and Fast Food Sushi, so a year can feel like an eternity, or at least a year and several months. To help tide you over, we've got the first leaked trailer for the game after the break, but be warned: You probably shouldn't watch unless you finished Final Fantasy XIII.

During a Square Enix 1st Production Department event in Japan, producer Yoshinori Kitase revealed the direct sequel to last year's Final Fantasy XIII, which is to be directed by Motomu Toriyama.

Though we hope the "-2" in the title signifies the subtraction of Hope and Vanille, the logo highlights the addition of a new character alongside XIII's prickly leading lady, Lightning. According to a translation by RPG Site, Final Fantasy XIII-2 is set to launch in 2011, though it's unclear if that pertains to Japan only.

Update: The English version will launch "next Winter."
