The only way it hits both regions in 2009 is if it comes out in Japan Summer 2009 and North America Fall/Winter 2009.
But there hasn't been a whole of precedent set for that small of a release gap...It will probably hit NA Spring 2010. (maybe Summer)
EDIT: There was a 7 month gap between the release of FFXII in Japan and North America. (March and October)
