Finally, some commentary on Final Fantasy Versus XIII!
Wrote Nomura, "Versus has had many difficulties, and past method of production have been completely inapplicable, but these are the difficulties of birth, so we are working hard. We have a lot to announce, but because we're going in order, I can't say too much yet."
By "order," Nomura is referring to what appears to be Square Enix's policy since last year's Tokyo Game Show to promote games in the order of their release. Nomura has commented on this in past interviews.
He continued, "There have been many questions regarding fields. It's not a completely open world. It's like the 2D FF games in HD. Although, in terms of looks, it's not a top-down view, it's like the screenshots that have been released. You'll move through the world from that view."
In case you haven't seen the screenshots (I believe they have yet to appear outside of print), the game has a behind-the-back viewpoint.
