Tetsuya Nomura was interviewed in this week’s Famitsu issue. Although most of the interview is about Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, he also discussed Final Fantasy Versus XIII for a little bit.

According to the interview, the world map in the upcoming game has changed. Originally, a miniature version of Noctics would have run around the world map. Because it looked a little bit odd, however, Square Enix decided to change it to resemble another Final Fantasy title (Famitsu blocked the number off).

Due to changes like that, the original plan to reveal the Final Fantasy Versus XIII at this year’s E3 is in jeopardy, according to Tetsuya Nomura. He is currently talking with other producers at Square Enix to make sure that they balance the game unveiling with other upcoming Square Enix titles.

Damn! It looks we have to wait long but I somewhat hope this will not affect the schedule of their release and unveiling.

Ohh, I really hope they unveil it at E3.

I WANT TO SEE MORE OF VERSUS!!!

E3 PLZ!!!

It looks like they are making some progress! Maybe they might get it released in Japan this year, though it almost certainly won't get outside this year

So how did versus get it's name exactly? did one team say," Hey i bet you we could do a better 13 that will go against yours?"

Oh NO Nomura，you have said there would be more details about FFV 13 this E3...i only expecte a trailer for V13 on E3...creeping

I'm getting sick of waiting...

This is not good , the game appears to be far from over from what he said, and I was hoping for a 2010 release date.

they said it wont be show on E3, sounds like end of the year title, dec at earliest in japan.

well, at least there IS a world map.
hopefully.
I have a feeling the FF Famitsu blocked off was X.
I'm kinda hoping it was IX they blocked off, i liked that.
