Given the source and what I've heard about Japanese culture, it's almost certainly an April Fool's joke. I think it would be interesting to see his take on it if it weren't, but... that's just not going to happen.

More proof from ffxiii.net

Direct quote from there:

-_____________

I was lurking 2channel's 3rd Birthday thread - god knows why, it never bears rewards ;; - and tomorrow's issue of Famitsu says the same thing.



Nomura's also expressing his disappointment at pressure to make the game "360-friendly", and he's concerned that the company could make the decision to make it multiplat without consulting him, like they did with FFXIII.

Apparently on parts of the interview not visible above, he says that FFXIII's subtle relationship between Fang and Vanille was well noted and received by the consumers, so he decided to make Noctis gay. He's single, though, and it's not going to be shoved in the face of gamers.

I'm still skeptical

and the game COULD be made multiplat

EDIT: Well famitsu may be doing an April Fools issue too

Okay, I'll admit that my Japanese knowledge is limited at best, but I only see one reference in there to Versus 13, with it being in the same sentence as Agito, and no mention of homosexuality. I think there may be an actual FF13 article, but I'm not seeing this claim in said pic.
