They already said it would be out this year and 99% of the people in the stress test love it and think there is enough to release it NOW. In 2 month it can be only better. This game will definatly make it out this year, they've even said it. Probably December, possibly November.
99% of fans for the game are also rabid fanboys. There are a LOT of obvious bugs in the game (two off the top of my head are that mobs COMMONLY get stuck in walls and are impossible to attack, and the throwing animation bug) and it would not be ready to release NOW. Within the end of the year is still possible though, but doesn't look likely to me. Other than the bugs though, the game itself is great, and will probably cause me to drop FFXI (which I'd hate to do... so many good times in that game
).
Here's hoping for a very, very, very, VERY long open beta period
