FINAL FANTASY versus XIII isn’t cancelled

For the last several days rumors had been swirling about a possible cancellation of Final Fantasy Versus XIII that stemmed from a Kotaku report. For several days fans were left wondering about the status of the project as new information has been sparse this year. Today, president and CEO of Square Enix — Yoichi Wada — casually and succinctly commented on the situation through his personal Twitter:

ヴェルサスがキャンセルされたってデマ流してるやつがいるらしい。ﾌﾌ..たった今ヴェルサス定例会議が終わったとこ。今日プレゼンされた街なんぞ見たら腰抜かすでぇ～w

“It seems someone is spreading a false rumor about Versus being canceled. Heh, just a few moments ago a regularly scheduled meeting for Versus ended. If you were to see the city etc. presented today, you’d wouldn’t be able to stand from surprise, lol.”

For now, it seems we’ll have to take Tetsuya Nomura’s endearing advice to “please continue to look forward to it.”
