Yoichi Wada, head of Square Enix, has denied the rumors of Final Fantasy Versus XIII been canceled on Twitter. He said that this rumor is a hoax and that he just has returned from a staff meeting about the progress of the game and that fans will be surprised how the game is shaping up; he specifically mentioned the city setting.

Hopefully new information will be revealed at the Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary event taking place on 1 September where the future of the Fabula Nova Crystallis project will be revealed.

Big news on the second day of VanaFest: Hiromichi Tanaka, the current producer of Final Fantasy XI, is stepping down and will leave Square Enix mostly due to health problems.

Hiromichi Tanaka started his work at Square in 1983 and was one of the earliest members and eventually headed up  Square Enix's 3rd development division. Later he became Corporate Executive Online Business.

At Square he worked on games like Final Fantasy, II and III, Secret of Mana, Xenogears and Chrono Cross. Besides producer of Final Fantasy XI he was also producer of Final Fantasy XIV till December 2010 (which was badly received by the fans causing him to step down).

Akihiko Matsui will take over his spot as producer of Final Fantasy XI.

After the closure of the E3 show floor last night for that day, Square Enix has shared an impressive over three-minute Final Fantasy realtime tech demo of Luminous Studio, their new game engine for the next generation. 

The trailer that you've just seen, which is called Agni’s Philosophy, is all in realtime, no pre-rendered footage. Yoshihisa Hashimoto, chief technology officer for Square Enix proved that by manipulating scenes in the trailer and showing it again.

This trailer is very impressive and makes me excited what's in store for the Final Fantasy series in the future. Time will tell.

Square Enix has announced that unknown parties has gained unauthorized access to a server related to Square Enix Members and therefore they have taken down the service in Japan and North America. Europe is not affected by the hack.

They said that it might take a few days to look into the matter and fix the security holes.

You can read the full statement below.

We have reason to believe that unknown parties may have gained unauthorized access to a particular Square Enix server related to the free SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS service offered in North America and Japan. In response, Square Enix, Inc. has temporarily suspended operation of the SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS service starting at 10PM (PST) on December 12, 2011.

We are assessing the full extent of this potential breach to determine what data, if any, was compromised and will provide more details as soon as possible. While some personal information may have been accessed, we can confirm that there is no possibility of any credit card information leak from this incident, since the server in question stores no credit card information. We estimate that the suspension will continue for a few days until we complete our investigation and counter-measures. We will update you as we learn more.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the temporary suspension of the SQUARE ENIX MEMBERS service. We take data security extremely seriously and we regret any inconvenience this may have caused our customers and fans. We appreciate your patience and support at this time.

Under the lead of producer Ryutaro Ichimura, Square Enix is developing a new (unique) action RPG which will be using the Unreal Engine 3. The only thing we know is that the game will not be a new Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts game and that they are currently looking for staff members.

Here's a scan from the latest Famitsu magazine showing some artwork from the game.
