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

[Abriael]

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

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.

Official statements from a publicly traded company are legally binding.

You're saying it like a random pole on twitter holds more credibility than an official source. Which of course he doesn't.

It's utterly amusing how some people are bending over twice to make this farce of a rumor believable. Have an agenda?

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.

Elexia, I will just come to the conclusion that you can't understand what myself and some people are saying, so I will leave you to debate with other people. Good day.

[Abriael]

Oh look, Elexia's so desperate that now he's resorting to put words in people's mouth. Amusing.

Sorry, but English is English.

There's a LARGE difference betweeen "moving all staff" and "moving resources", and a statement that says that work on a game is continuing completely contrasts with a rumor that says that work is "on hold" because all staff has been "moved" (not working on both projects at the same time, "moving" implies transitioning from a place to another, there's no sharing involved in the word).

What's this noise? must be Elexia's card castle collapsing.

He's just in denial, with an obvious agenda to push people to believe a ludicrous rumor, What can you do.

No, that is how you're taking it.

I don't give a damn about trying to make a rumor credible or not, but you and others need to realize that the possibility that this game will have a summer release is higher than you want. There have been delays and no dates given for anything, fact.

You are trying to disprove whats being said here with hope.

If hope contributed to ARR's release, we'd have it when it was announced.
