It's been a while but we have a small development update on Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Kitase, speaking to Kotaku at GamesCom last week, has said that the development of Final Fantasy Versus XIII is coming along "comparatively faster” than the development of Final Fantasy XIII.

Although several members of the Versus team were taken of the project temporarily to help with the development of FFXIII, Kitase says that the “knowledge and experience” from working on the main title will help ensure Versus is completed sooner. Concerning Final Fantasy XIII, Kitase also mentioned that character and enemy modelling is only taking a 1/3 of the time to finish compared to the when the project began. If this applies to Versus as well, we could maybe hope for a 2011 release. Don’t hold out on that though.
