Is Noctus secretly a woman? Here is some strange Versus XIII news

You're probably going to want to get the full scoop but needless to say, the rumor of Noctis becoming a woman being a possibility was not what I expected to hear. Either that or Nomura is the greatest troll who ever lived.
After last week's rumour of Versus XIII turned Final Fantasy XV-PS4 exclusive, we may have finally gotten a reason why development has been taking so long: According to Tetsuya Nomura, Noctis is secretly a woman!
May I ask one question: Just why?
Seeing how there's a Noctis perfume (no, i'm not kidding) I could see this happening... but it's probably not true given the grammar used like calling Noctis "Noct" and "u" or "til" without the ' at the end like it's a Facebook post, unless it's some mid-game sex change that happens from Noctis misusing the crystal's powers or some random mystical force that desires more X chromosomes. Come to think of it, how many games actually have tried that?
Noctis Night Shade. Comes in three fabulous flavors!
If this is true... then we have a reason why it's been taking so long, they're trying to make another Lightning because she's hip with the kids (and getting another sequel I might add) which must mean Noctis has to be a female right? Either way, I sincerely hope this is an April Fool's joke come early from Japan (Time zones and all that) but we'll have to hold our breath until E3 to find out. *Gulp*.
Feel free to disagree, what do you think of Noctis possibly having a pair of "Noct-ers"? See what I did there? Ok fine, i'll go stand in the corner...

This is an article posted on March 4th but I have missed it and thought I would post it here.
Nomura hasnt responded on his typo. What do you guys think would it be nice to see Noctisia? Female protagonists ftw all power to them. Im a fan of good female protagonists like from the New Tombraider game (I absolutely loved that game) but this is messed up imo if SE will push this through.
Cause it will mean Noctis was a lie all along. Well people still think Versus itself is still a lie. The guy that wrote that article is pretty funny imo.

This whole tweet could be fabricated btw, but the perfume will hopefully keep you enticed.
There's no harm in discussing this wonderful rumour right? Will you buy the perfume? If you preorder Versus you'll get one for free. Nice incentive.
I guess we will have to wait for E3 just to hear an announcement.
In other news FFXIV PS3 Beta will soon be available. Lightning returns is releasing this year and there has been no news about the Localization of Type0. Will Lightning returns redeem SE? Will FFXIV change the tide? Will FFXHD and FFX-2HD keep us occupied in the meantime while we wait for a possible KH3?
I feel SE is trolling us to the fullest.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Nomura
Swazoo March 9, 2013 Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Type-0, Project Cystallis 8 Comments
We’ve been waiting a long time for new information on Final Fantasy Versus XIII. But has Nomura been waiting along with us?
Some people claim Nomura’s the one behind the info drought. He is known for withholding info until what he is working on is finished. However, maybe he’s ready to share news with us, but that decision really isn’t up to him.
He has stated that he is eager to talk about the progress of Versus, but was not at liberty to devulge any news:Before you get all excited, Nomura also said “totally unrelated” circumstances are preventing him from sharing the information, but that he’s in discussions to move plans forward.Another time, he goes on to explain he would appreciate our patience as we wait:
http://www.computerandvideogames.co...us-xiii-info-is-ready-but-i-cant-show-anyone/
“We would like to ask for your patience on an official announcement for this title,” said Nomura. “It always takes time when tackling the challenge of doing something completely new, but we are doing our best to bring information to the fans as quickly as we can. Your patience is greatly appreciated.”The “Lightning Saga” has been getting a lot of attention lately, with Final Fantasy XIII-2 and now Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Two sequels to a title in a series that usually does not see direct sequels to its main titles, with some exceptions. All before Versus XIII could be released, or even be displayed properly to the public.
http://gematsu.com/2012/05/nomura-o...iii-it-takes-time-when-tackling-something-new
Why is this? Could it be that Nomura is in an “NDA”, or “non-disclosure agreement”? Yoichi Wada, president of Square Enix, has repeated many times that he does not wish for people to be distracted from Lightning Returns. Nomura is under a contract, after all.
It may not be a stretch of the imagination to think that these two sequels of Final Fantasy XIII arose from wanting to make the desired amount of money out of the first game’s engine, as it may not have produced the profits they had originally wanted.
But no one was really expecting a sequel to XIII, let alone two of them. People were interested in Versus XIII, and Agito XIII (renamed Type-0 later), and other titles. How could they generate enough interest in these sequels when the fans’ attention was transfixed on the other two Fabula Nova Crystallis entries and other games?
As for Type-0, circumstances with the PSP system over in other regions had a major role in its localization halting. Certain copyright issues may have also played a part, but that’s a story for another time.
As stated officially, Lightning Returns is taking assests from Versus XIII, so it will most likely feature some of the content that Versus will. Here is what grand_kaizer from GameFAQs.com had to say on the matter:“It is extremely suspicious that all of a sudden FFXIII is claiming that now it’s more like Versus. It’s more ‘realistic’ and it involves a semi-realtime battle system, it’s trying to be darker and less shallow…Let us take a look at this:
“It’s almost like they’re trying to overshadow Versus before it comes out. All of a sudden anything Versus does is just an evolution of something FFXIII already did. It will either be remembered as something that took what FFXIII did right and used their foundation to go off, or it will be known as something that saw things fans didn’t like about FFXIII’s direction and pushed them harder.
“No matter what Versus does now, FFXIII will look like the jumping platform that brought it here, because nobody cares what the dev time was, all that matters to the general populace is that FFXIII came out before Versus, ergo Versus is the one copying.”

In this week’s Dengeki Final Fantasy Versus XIII producer Tetsuya Nomura gave a brief update on the game saying that with Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Type-0 now complete and out of the way, it will finally be time to focus on Versus XIII. He also says with a laugh that he’s a bit nervous now.But then Lightning Returns was announced. And now Square Enix may not want to market two big games at once. This may very well be the reason we’ve been kept in the dark. They may want to maximize sales of Lightning Returns before releasing Versus XIII. But the long wait generated from this is not all that fair to Nomura and his team.
http://www.hypeup.net/index.php/site/news/nomura_its_time_for_final_fantasy_versus_xiii_now
When it comes to the new Noctis perfume, perhaps it’s the first step in marketing Versus after Lightning Returns is over. It’s a good sign.
In the end, we probably won’t ever truly know what has been going on these past seven years, but Nomura isn’t to blame for the lack of coverage on Versus, when it might not even be up to him in the first place. For all we know, he’s been waiting just as long for the day new information is revealed about Final Fantasy Versus XIII as the rest of us.

LOL at the questions at the end. This would be an interesting move, that's for sure. I don't think it would be too bad though. It would be kinda different (not really), and it'll damn sure be interesting. Like you said, this could be why it's taking so long to be released. If they recorded voices already and they did him as a dude, they'd have to do all those lines again. Ehh.... Maybe I should get my Mom that perfume for Mother's Day.
