Final Fantasy Versus XIII has been temporarily suspended and its programming team transitioned into assist mode. Versus director Tetsuya Nomura explained that Square Enix's top priority is completing work on Final Fantasy XIII, which means the Versus team has placed its project on ice and headed across the hall to lend a hand. A few remaining designers are still working on conceptual art for Versus, and the story is supposedly complete.

"Reports that development for Final Fantasy Versus XIII is on hold are false," the publisher said in a statement passed on to Eurogamer. "The truth of the situation is that when free, some staff from the Versus team have been helping with the XIII team on development of Final Fantasy XIII. Development for both titles is continuing as originally scheduled."

The two scans of the faces are CG and the other two scans (see gallery below) are real-time. Looking at this, it hit home for the first time that I am about to experience Final Fantasy in a way I never have before on the PS3. I only hope as it appears there it can live up to the quality of experience set by its predecessors.
