I would take this with a grain of salt just because Matsuno doesn't work at square enix, you would hope he would be involved in a remaster or at least know it was happening, but that's not always how these things play out

He worked with SQEX on Final Fantasy XIV and Tactics Ogre Reborn the past few years.

While it's possible they would have hidden a project from him, it's very unlikely. He has a good relationship with SQEX, and they aren't Konami.

He has, but also square enix is very the left-hand doesn't know what the right-hand is doing.

All I'm saying is that you can't derive much from this aside from he isn't working on anything to do with FFTactics

If you're developing a remaster of a game while you have the director of the original game on the payroll, that's not a breakdown in communication. That's intentionally keeping him out of the loop.

Trust me, I'd love it if you were right on this, but as far as I'm concerned, this means the leak wasn't accurate in this case or the project got axed.

Or the famously a mess of a company square enix, continued to be a mess. I'm not saying it is in development, I'm saying that we all still don't know.

I don't believe him honestly, most of the things in the Nvidia leak turned out to be true.
