Final Fantasy Versus XIII Isn't Even in Full Production

So what's new with Final Fantasy Versus XIII? Nothing really! I mean, hell, we haven't heard anything about it since it got showcased at Square Enix's "1st Production Party Premiere Event" all the way back in January. Well besides the whole tease that we got from Tetsuya Nomura in Famitsu a few days ago about a supposed Kingdom Hearts III, Nomura had shed some light about the very long awaited Versus XIII. What we got was the fact that it still isn't even in full production...wait, what?

Courtesy of Andriasang, who did the translation from this interview, here's what Nomura had said.

"Since we’re still taking on so many new development challenges, the team is still made up of the core members. Right now, we’re making preparations to go into full production."

We haven't seen anything since the Premeire Party event, as previously stated, but here's the trailer we did get to see. Some drama here and there, but about halfway through is when the gameplay really kicks in. Very reminiscent to Kingdom Heart's, no?

All that all of us really can do is wait, much like any other anticipated Square Enix title.

Kingdom Hearts III Gets Teased in Famitsu Magazine

Y'know...all Kindgom Hearts fans have been asking for this for YEARS. Today, those fans, get yourselves prepared to "Squee" just a little bit. Earlier this morning, IGN reported that Tetsuya Nomura, the man behind the much loved Kingdom Hearts franchise, most of his work for character design in a lot of the Final Fantasy games, and his much anticipated title, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, had a few things to say to Famitsu, Japan's top of the line gaming magazine.

Obviously, like most people are expecting, Nomura says that Kingdom Hearts III will the last game in the franchise that will include Xehanort. This won't mean it'll be the end for the franchise. In fact, Nomura says that it's being planned to have future titles as well with Sora still being the main character.

Nomura also states that the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (which was announced at the Square-Enix's 1st Production Department Premiere back in January), for the Nintendo 3DS, just may be the last of the many spin-offs that the franchise has has, will answer many questions that fans have wanted answers from.

Nomura has also hinted at Square-Enix looking into the tech being used for games that have been upscaled to HD...yeah, I'm pretty sure I know what you're thinking.

Anywho, it's kind of weird that after all these years, we're finally getting some hints about the 3rd installment of the game. I do find it a bit odd that after all this time, it was never mentioned that it was even in development to begin with. Oh well, at least we have something to get our hopes up!
