In a recent interview with French magazine Japan Vibes, acclaimed character designer Yoshitaka Amano made mention of his current work on a few different projects, including Final Fantasy XIII. This is one of the first real acknowledgements of the game's development, though no official announcements have been made regarding it.

Amano did not discuss his exact role in its development, nor did he mention any details concerning the game's format or platform choice. With E3 only weeks away, Square Enix will likely reserve any further information for the upcoming event.
