Final Fantasy Versus XIII May Be Dead

Get ready to put on your "I Told you So" hats, because if rumors are to believed, it looks like Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be going nowhere.

After six years since announcement, and subsequent accusations of being vaporware, the Final Fantasy XIII spin-off is rumored to be losing its resources to the upcoming Final Fantasy XV.

Square Enix, when contacted by Eurogamer, gave the often damning "could not comment on rumours or speculation" line. Square-Enix is supposedly avoiding public acknowledgement as to avoid getting hit in their stocks. Plausible enough, but it tastes better with a grain of salt.

Of course, even were the rumors true, this isn't the curtain call for Final Fantasy XIII. Square Enix has already made it clear that additional Final Fantasy XIII content would be coming out, especially with the "Final Fantasy 13 Lightning Saga: New Developments Presentation" presentation ready for the first of September. This presentation comes in honor of the 25th Anniversary for the series... the Final Fantasy series, that is, not the Final Fantasy XIII series.

Without confirmation from Square Enix, this is a big pile of maybe, but really, would anyone be surprised?
