[Rumor] FFvsXIII team moved on FFXIV + Release date in...!

[Elexia]

On the topic of delays. I don't know where your arguments come up here. I don't know if a delay will happen as much as you do, but the only thing that can be said about it is that "It is possible".

So, how can XIV affect other projects for SE if..it's just "the XIV team" working on it and no one else in SE is bothering with it? Resources being moved to XIV also includes team members. Even outsourcing work could mean they put work loads on other teams that are within SE's subsidiaries.

all links on first post broke, there any others?

Can look around a bit, since the twitter links were actually reposts to begin with.

none of those links says we are adding more people but are also delaying the game further.

Except the rumor also stated people were moved from other teams onto XIV.

Too bad that all the interested parties went officially on record stating that work on FFvXIII is continuing. Ooops.

Too bad there's a difference between cancelling a project and something being affected. Oops. I also don't recall stating something was scrapped or stopped because of the move. Oops.

Nope. That farce of a rumor stated that an entire other team was disbanded and entirely moved to XIV, thing that completely contrasts with several official statements from different areas of the company.

Except, Wada and Yoshida both stated they moved resources to XIV, not disbanded the teams.

The rumor states:

FF Versus XIII is on hold and all staff have been moved to FFXIV: A Realm Reborn until it gets released.

Yet official word states they moved resources, not cancelled anything. So there is validity to the rumor as we had official word of this long before that rumor even popped up. The only rumor specifically regarding versus XIII was the one about it being cancelled, which they officially debunked.

The rumor doesn't say they moved resources. It says they moved the whole team, which not only isn't realistic, but also contrasts with official statements regarding the fact that work on Final Fantasy Versus XIII is continuing.

Sorry, but trying to twist the rumor to make it fit doesn't really work.

You're saying this as if official statements have never been contradicted at a later point in time.

I don't think we need to bring up their XIV 2.0 pdf again.

So in other words..you realize you were wrong. Glad we came to an agreement. I mean, rumor or not, you have to be drowning in denial to call BS on an official SE report. Here, I'll post it again for you:

So what's being twisted? Nothing but confirming:

FF Versus XIII is on hold and all staff have been moved to FFXIV: A Realm Reborn until it gets released.

Is true. For someone who pulled the "if you know game development" card, you sure don't seem to know what resources are.

Protip: Resources can mean people too.

Btw, dd you know? Akihiko Matsui worked on both FFXI and FFXIV at the same time? It's pretty shocking that there's people working on multiple projects at once...

Especially when SE releases a report stating specifically why things got affected..but eh, let's ignore the reports. "Work continues on Versus XIII"..yet they're still working on XIV as well...how did that debunk the fact they moved resources, per Square Enix's words? Something the rumor basically reflected?

That's exactly why the "cancellation" rumor even started, because of the moving of resources to XIV lol. They debunked that Vs XIII was cancelled, but they ADMITTED they did pool resources towards ARR.

So there remains validity, whether you want to admit it or not.
