Final Fantasy Versus XIII director Tetsuya Nomura has informed the folks over at Famitsu magazine that the eagerly awaited PS3 exclusive may not show its face at E3 due to recent development changes.
Apparently these changes pertain to the World Map, which originally featured a miniature version of protagonist Noctis running around in a similar vein to a previous title in the franchise. The team later changed this segment to resemble a style seen in another unknown Final Fantasy title.
As a result, the game may not make an appearance at the mammoth trade show later this year. Nomura previously commented that the game would show up at E3 providing the development team was “quick enough.”
Colour us disappointed. Still, we’ll be sure to update you on the game’s development as soon as we hear anything.
