Kotaku Rumor: Final Fantasy Versus XIII dead?

Give them a break. It popped up when the weekend started for the Japanese.
Dark Cloud (both games) seemed to work out okay for Sony when collaborating with a third-party studio. White Knight Chronicles also (somewhat).

:3 I'm always amused when she's the source and we see it posted here as "news."
I was guilty of doing it in the past too.

Waste of time, it's the weekend, they'd only spur more coverage about how overdue the project is and how silent the company has been on delivery, etc.

That article's source for the game not being canceled actually is Kagari's quote from this thread. There are a lot of sites and blogs reporting on that post of hers.
Edit: Beaten by a couple people.
Sony published those games, that's very different.
Not sad for Kagari as this is just a rep booster for her. Sad for other gaming news sites hahaha.

Posting it on Friday was clearly their plan. A full weekend of hits!

SE were 100% reached out to for comment before the story was posted and declined to do so, for the record. Or so I've been told, anyway.

Yeah, I figured. Just joking around. Kotaku is always the source of conspiracy theories or something.
Conversely: That's what they wanted you to think!

Doesnt Nomura have twitters?
Eh, I wouldn't be satisfied at all. That recent demo was awesome, the thought of saddling it with ATB again, or the psx era anime cliches would be incredibly disappointing. New game, new experience. There are other jrpgs for typical stuff. FF needs to keep innovating.
Nope.

Huge blowout at TGS with a firm release date, believe.
GAF -> Internet -> GAF in full effect, love it.

Just noticed there was a Game Informer interview with Nomura in May where he makes a vague comment on Vs. Of course it falls outside the scope of time of this rumor.
Do you know which branch of S-E...?
Is this translated? Its very poorly written. I hope this isnt cancelled. Been looking forward to this game for a while, like most of us.

If it really does end up at TGS, I hope they actually show it off to the public. And not a blacked out trailer for investors or a closed theater. Anything at Sony's conference will probably be blacked out.
Wait, before that... they need to put some of that into Thi4f. If SE could bring that to consoles, lack of a decent FF would be tolerable.
Ha ha, I don't know about that. I'm afraid to get my hopes up.
Has anyone tried to contact any of the Versus XIII team outside of the well known names? Or are they relatively unknown?
It's unlikely for anybody to actually risk posting what they've heard off the record. It's best to wait for an official response.

Thats what proper journalism would have done.

This, one of the series strong points is that every game in general feels like it's own game not tied to anything else. Battle system included.
As a follow up, there will also be a thread if their statements are non-denials tomorrow (like "We can't comment on this project."), since that's at least something more solid to discuss.
However, until then this thread is becoming more of an FF discussion thread and less a rumor discussion thread, which is more appropriate for the Community thread.
