Tetsuya Nomura was a special guest on Square Enix Merchandise Radio this week and he was questioned about the status of Final Fantasy Versus XIII. As expected, he stated:
Even within the company it’s a very delicate problem. The date when we can concretely lift the ban has been decided and we are preparing for that moment. Maybe the details as to why information couldn’t be released might be touched upon at the next information announcement. I’m sorry it’s already overdue, but please wait just a little more.
He made another apology to the fans and he ask for more time. How many times have we heard this? I lost count. Anyway, some of us just can't lose our faith in this game! We must be tenacious.
We may hear more about the game when E3 2013 comes this June. So, FXN will definitely be on the look out.

It's no secret that Square Enix is struggling financially at the moment. Last month the company announced that its President and CEO of the last decade, Yoichi Wada, was stepping down after the company revised its full year financial forecast down by 16.5 billion yen. At the time Square Enix pinned the blame on poor console game sales, particularly for Sleeping Dogs, Tomb Raider and Hitman Absolution. Now they have provided us with further details on the matter in a recent financial briefing. Hit 'Read More' for details.

Siliconera is claiming that Square Enix's 3DS turn-based RPG, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy, will definitely see a localization for the west after being able to confirm the news with "multiple trusted sources" at last week's Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. This news comes only one month after the game's official Twitter account teased a potential western localization for the game.
While this still isn't an official confirmation, it makes it hard to imagine that the game won't be seeing the light of day in the west sometime in the future.

Square Enix's new president-in-waiting, Yosuke Matsuda, has given us a brief glimpse of his intentions once he becomes company president following the expected resignation of Yoichi Wada in June.
According to his statements in a recent Square Enix Holdings briefing session, Matsuda plans to review "all Square Enix duties, business and assets on a zero-based budgeting standpoint", he also states that he intends to "fundamentally review what works and what doesn’t work for our company, then cast all of our resources towards extending what makes us successful and thoroughly squeezing out what doesn’t".
Furthermore, he mentioned that he plans to make the current CEO of Square Enix Europe, Phil Rogers, the new director of Square Enix Holdings. The intention is for the two of them to act as renovating pillars for Square Enix as it tries to recover from its expected net income loss of 13 billion yen.
Outgoing president Yoichi Wada has also confirmed that he will remain with the company after his resignation as president, stating that “As an employee, I believe it is my duty to help the company and give proper results from it. I will be retiring from the line of management, but I plan to work on site as a way to pay my debt to the company”.
