Square Enix Announces Lord of the Vermillion for the PLAYSTATION 3

In the latest issue of Famitsu or Dengeki Magazine (not sure which it is yet), they interview Square Enix's Yoshinori Kitase and Testusya Nomura.

Kitase: The Blue-Ray's disc space and the PS3 HDD's standards has helped us a lot in terminating (mostly, if not absolutely) loading times.

Kitase: Just like how 7 was a huge improvement from 6, the improvement between 12 and 13 may be big too.

Nomura: Our programmers were asking, "is it okay if we program it as a PS3 exclusive? If you're thinking of porting it to other consoles, we might have to change the specs to follow suit the others." And I answered, "PS3 exclusive, of course."

Nomura: The staff just showed me how it looks to fly with an airship while in the World Map. It's been awhile since I last saw something "FF-ish".

Nomura: We haven't announced who else are in the Versus team, but we've got some big names.

Nomura: Kazushige Nomura (scenario writer for Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, Kingdom Hearts II) still doesn't want to part from Cloud so we might do something with him again. Something video-like like AC would be nice.

How about a PLAYSTATION 3 remake of Final Fantasy VII, how about that Nomura? Also in this new article, Square Enix announced a new title for PLAYSTATION 3 only called Lord of the Vermillion. It doesn't seem to be related to Final Fantasy, but we will tell you when we find out more.
