yikes + Squareenix is quickly descending into this weird arse company who don't know what their brand value is.

and trashing trashing trashing the FF brand if true.

 

[Cwarrior]

of course they wanta get a lot of mileage out of ff13 assets by rehashing them to make more games.


FF13,ff13 versus, ff13-2 and more ff13-3

 

[dvolovets]

While it is definitely fun to speculate about Square's next moves w/ the XIII set of FF games, perhaps this is just a preemptive domain name registration?

 

[SykoTech]

....I need a good twitch gif.

 

[echoshifting]

 

[Mindlog]

XIII-2 will be more profitable than Deus Ex.

Even with a significant portion of the development funded by Canadian Taxpayers?

ps Thank you Canada.

 

[jett]

The triology nobody asked for.

 

[Foffy]

Oh come the fuck on...the sequel to XIII isn't even out yet.

 

[jediyoshi]

Wat.

XIII-2 isn't even out.

Wat.

Another game with the old cast?

It's very common place for publishers to whole sale register a bunch of different domains, if only to just reserve it for themselves. Otherwise you have cases like modernwarfare3.com

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Dat assets

 

[RDreamer]

To be fair, they could be just grabbing it just in case they ever made it in the future, or so that no one else gets it and makes things confusing for their customers.











...But we all know that's not why they did it.

Ah, I forgot about that

 

[Kyoufu]

And now what I imagine the Squenix office is like.. in English.

"We just made a CRAPLOAD of cash off Deus Ex. What should we do?"
"Final Fantasy XIII-3?"
"Fund it."

lol, if only Deus Ex made them "A CRAPLOAD" of cash.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

We never asked for this Square!

 

[neptunes]

Maybe it's for Vita

would that make it better?

 

[BoilersFan23]

I enjoyed FFXIII a lot. If I enjoy FFXIII-2 just as much, I'd surely be interested in a FFXIII-3.

 

[Ellis Kim]

Versus renamed? lol

Toriyama's team hasn't finished XIII-2.

This has to be some other team. Versus renamed is my bet.

no, and I will take on your bet.

 

[xion4360]

Only possible explanation

Versus XIII = XIII-3

 

[mintypixel]

Might this be a mobile game?

 

[Narcosis]

WTF Square, really?

 

[LiK]

[Angry Fork]

I'd buy this for sure. I hope Square considers doing this for future big console titles.

 

[Zwei]

Only, the Double Down is undeniably delicious. The prospect of a FFXIII-3 is undeniably ridiculous.

 

[Drkirby]

Well, it could simply be they don't want some fan to take the site. Domain names are dirt cheap.

 

[Emitan]

It was a huge typo. It's supposed to be XII-2 for Vita.

Spoiler

In my dreams

 

[Seda]

So it's the Final Fantasy Thirteen Trilogy now?

Sounds so weird to say.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Looks like SE was thinking "How does Activision make so much money off COD?, Oh sequels I get it"

Final Fantasy = COD
Final Fantasy XIII = CODMW
Final Fantasy XIII-2 - CODMW2
Final Fantasy XIII-3 - CODMW3

Final Fantasy Versus XIII = That canceled Action Adventure COD
(Don't ban me Kagari ; ; =3 <3)

 

[JWong]

They don't want to pull an Activision.

 

[Kyoufu]

Maybe it's for Vita

You play as Lightning the whole game? Bought!

 

[echoshifting]

Well, there's no denying that. They share nothing more than an idiom. Indeed, one might say FFXIII is the polar opposite of a double down [sandwich], which consists of virtually nothing but meat.

 

[Lebron]

Probably still will release before Versus XIII

 

[Chiave]

FFXIII-3 will be out before versus.

I thought that was a joke

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Problem with square is they have no other HD assets so they need to keep reusing the same ones, lol. Guess it would take too long to create new ones that this point.

Final Fantasy XIII-3: Online

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Is there no accurate Japanese translation for the phrase franchise fatigue?

 

[rataven]

I don't get it. I just don't get it. Why? Does Japan really dig the XIII universe or something?

 

[x3r0123]

lolololololol
ff13-3 = lightning with customizable clothes and dancing (like ffx-2)

 

[Dark Schala]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

No words.

dat asset recycling

 

[strem]

It is going to be a MMO exclusive to Wii

 

[inky]

Well, they did say FF XIII was going to be their "Star Wars" or something along those lines, didn't they? Might as well make as many games out of it as they can.

 

[Seven Force]

Er... wait.

Didn't S-E do a similar thing with FF Type-0? (By trademarking Type-1, Type-2 and Type-3)

 

[Kagari]

http://fusible.com/2011/09/square-e...rk-application-for-final-fantasy-versus-xiii/

They retrademarked Versus, so it isn't that.

 

[LiK]

FFXIII-3, Serah is naked and has another new face.

 

[Calcaneus]

If XIII-2 turns out good, then why not.

Its not like we have many Final Fantasy games to look forward to. I doubt work will start on XV until Versus is out, so...lol.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Damn, who the fuck is in charge of management at SE? There should be NO reason a game should take more than 3 and a half years to develop for with all the resources they have at their disposal.

If Nomura could take the Kingdom Hearts IP with him, I'd say he should leave square and join Sony.
