Square Enix Says "Final Fantasy XV" Video is Fake

"Final Fantasy Versus XIII" has not been renamed, either.

The alleged video of Final Fantasy XV that popped up online earlier this week is completely, 100-percent fake, according to series publisher Square-Enix. 

A video from a presentation showed footage from Final Fantasy Versus III, but started and ended with logos for the currently non-existent next entry in the series. The video also included PS3 and Wii U logos. (In retrospect, the fact that game was a multi-platform release, but not going to Xbox 360, should have been a dead giveaway.)

The video led to rumors that Versus XIII would be renamed, either globally or for western audiences. When asked about the video, Square-Enix told Kotaku; "We can confirm that the trailer is fake."

No wiggle-room there, folks.

That doesn't mean there won't be a Final Fantasy XV or even that Square-Enix isn't already working on it. The logo and the footage shown have nothing to do it.
