I doubt that's true. there's also no way to tell until November.
though I think that's a salient point - this game is like what would happen if a JRPG tried to incorporate some Bethesda elements. it's very open-worldy. even the characters look kind of bad! I think it's good that they don't go for high fidelity though because there is no way this game could exist if it had FFXIII levels of detail. the platform actually benefits the design because this would cost a trillion dollars in HD.
