PS3 exclusive has been in development for over six years
Square Enix has apparently canceled the development of Final Fantasy Versus XIII.
The game has been in development for over six years, but unnamed sources have suggested developer Square Enix has ceased development of the PlayStation 3 exclusive. A public statement on the game's cancelation won't apparently be made, with the firm believing that could negatively impact stock price.
Resources stemming from the project have been transferred over to the next Final Fantasy title, Final Fantasy 15.
Announced during the May of 2006, the action RPG has been shielded from the spotlight for years, with only several rare glimpses emerging in the form of screenshots and trailers.

Versus can't be XV, it doesn't fit the Main Series Formula Square's internal teams have. Mainly because it's an action RPG.
...but this is the only one =S
Plus, action rpgs sells, A LOT.
We can leave that to Activision.... and Capcom. But if this were true... goddamn, the rage will be enough to ignite World War III and will make Mega Man Legends 3 cancellation look like a G-rated affair.
