Why I don't put up rumors: Final Fantasy Versus XIII NOT Cancelled

Final Fantasy Versus XIII has been rumored to have been quietly cancelled by Square Enix. Which is false, a quote from twitter from the Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada says the opposite.

The quote is:
“There’s someone making a false rumor that Versus was cancelled. Haha…Just a minute ago, the regular Versus meeting ended. If you saw the presentation of the city, it’d knock you off your feet~lol”

Here is a trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII in case some people haven't seen any videos for it before:
