[PS3, X360] Square Enix Officially Confirms Final Fantasy XIII-2

[PS3, X360] Square Enix Officially Confirms Final Fantasy XIII-2 After Square Enix registered a domain by the same name, its fate was essentially sealed. But now we have true confirmation and a picture of the logo.
Square Enix were pretty tight-lipped about any real details about Final Fantasy XIII-2, but we can deduce from the logo that Lightning will return and a new character by the looks of things. It is a direct sequel (much like Final Fantasy X-2, remember that game?) and will be directed by Motomu Toriyama (who directed Final Fantasy X-2 and Final Fantasy XIII as well as various roles on other entries).
According to a translation by RPG Site, the game is aiming for a 2011 release for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 but it is safe to assume that if this happens, it'll be Japan only (and likely in December). Expect more from E3 this year.

Are you enthused for a sequel to Final Fantasy XIII?

UPDATE - Square Enix has posted on PlayStation Europe's blog with the announcement, and slating it as a Winter release.

Note: It also contains spoilers for Final Fantasy XIII's ending.
