Rumor: FFXV Details have been leaked.

[Jessweeee♪]

FFXII is great. It's the new FFIX.

[Wolf Kanno]

The interesting thing here that gives me hope that this rumor may be true is that Ito hasn't done anything since FFXII International back in 2007 except direct a recent iOS title. That's five years of not working on anything significant projects, which would fit into the timeline given in the rumor.

There is apparently going to be a 25th Anniversary Event held by Squenix in September, maybe we'll hear something then.

[Fynn]

I really hope this is true, but at the same time, I am very doubtful. I mean, it all sounds too good to be true. It's like an answer to everything (well, at least most of the things) the people here were complaining about... Unless you just filtered out the interesting bits, Wolf

[ShinGundam]

Wellll I hate to be a buzzkiller but this is fake.

As GamesMaster's Dep Ed I can safely say this is utter BS. Tracked down the source - a forum user on GameFAQS and Gamespot - who claims to have read this in our latest issue at the supermarket. There's no such thing in there at all.

Beware FF fans almost everything now is rumor especially from fans and bloggers.

[Del Murder]

Oh well. At least Wada's gloating was probably true.

Also I like how Carlos and I said the exact same thing.

Because Galvanization (dude makes constant misinformation about itou's FF) takes any information even from Wada or Nomura and reword them into " Ito's next epic game will rival X and feature that cool thing that X have and makes it even better".

[Wolf Kanno]

I figured it was fake, but I can't help but feel like it would all be cool if Ito was directing the next installment. Well, SE is doing some announcements for their 25th Anniversary Event in September. Maybe we'll find out Versus XIII became FFXV.

[Del Murder]

Ugh, please no more FFXIII games.

[maybee]

Ugh, please no more FFXIII games.

You know that is going to happen. XIII-3 is right around the very glooming corner.

[Freya]

Man if they gave me something like dragon's dogma in a FF where I can climb whatever giant baddie i'm fighting and stab them in the eye or they can knock me off, THAT WOULD BE SO COOL.

[Jinx]

I think if turning FFvXIII into FFXV is extremely lazy.

[ShinGundam]

I think if turning FFvXIII into FFXV is extremely lazy.

Why? FFIX was originally going to be a side game, but Square rebranded it as IX later. Name or brand don't really matter in this case imo.

[Wolf Kanno]

Yeah, except no one knew of IX's existence before it got re-branded. Whereas Versus XIII has been in a very public development hell for six years.

Still, though this particular rumor is false, I still feel it's very plausible that Ito is in fact woking on FFXV (unless the other rumor of Versus XIII getting a name change becomes true) since he has been largely silent in the background of SE since FFXII. He's got one iOS game coming out, but I hardly believe that took six years to make.
