i mean i prefer no whoring, but whatever the case and even if one LIKED FFXIII, one must admit it'd be nicer if they mixed the cycle up then just staying in FFXIII because it's just the most easily accessible HD asset game for them.

I hope Square isn't just trying to intentionally run all its properties into the ground though. DQ and FF have been real sloppy on the surface of it, but maybe these games will be genuine attempts to evolve the formula and they'll be great. Here's hoping... the time travel thing has my ear perked for FFXIII distantly at least.

Well I don't think even the most hardcore XIII lover would want XIII-3 over something new like a XV, even less so we we haven't tried XIII-2 yet.

 

[jimmypython]

they just want to make a trilogy........................-_-

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Sadly I've got to a point where I'm passed caring about what SE does anymore

If they release a game that peaks my interest, then great, I'll buy it, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Outside of that however, I no longer anticipate anything with their name on it, nor do I follow anything they've involved in with any excitement like I did in the past

They've completely lost their prestige this generation

Quoting my post from bottom of the last page. Anyone feel the same?

 

[RaijinFY]

Doesnt this give us an idea of when the next gen consoles will start then? Meaning 2014?

EDIT:

Personally, I would be for a trilogy but not with that FF...

 

[TomcatTheLion]

Final Fantasy Versus XIII pushed back to 2015?

2017?

Ever?

There's nothing stopping FFXIII-3 from being a next generation or cross generational title.

 

[RaijinFY]

Well that would be a first then...

 

[Beth Cyra]

Quoting my post from bottom of the last page. Anyone feel the same?

I completely disagree.

SE as a whole has put out some amazing content this generation.

XIII and XIV had sever issues, but no more so when it comes to spliting the fan base then XI and XII before them.

As for the rest of their content it's been good to great. Some stand out titles on both DS and PSP and Type-0 is looking brilliant, KH 3DS will hopefully folllow the trend set by BBS as well as XIII-2 looking far better then XIII in alot of areas.

SE hasn't figured out this gen. It won't figure out the next. FFXIII-3, really?

 

[Seda]

Quoting my post from bottom of the last page. Anyone feel the same?

SE gave us The Last Remnant, which is my favorite JRPG this gen. BBS is also (perhaps) the best KH game to date, so they are still on my radar.

Generally you only register a domain when you're at least thinking about using it.


Please don't speak for other people. This is really annoying.

Sir yes sir /salute

 

[Rahxephon91]

Quoting my post from bottom of the last page. Anyone feel the same?

Nope.

I mean they are far from the glory days, but thier games are still on average better then most. At least the ones I chose to play. Less FF games would be nice though.

 

[Nirolak]

Thinking about this some more, the timing of this registration is rather interesting.

1.) They just re-registered Versus XIII.
2.) They're about to finish development on FFXIII-2, which means they should already be planning their next game.

Sir yes sir /salute

I didn't mean to single you out, but I've been noticing this lately and wanted to put a stop to it in general, since I get accused of like... wanting to buy so many random things just for updating news threads. :lol

[StuBurns]

I can't believe that team aren't moving on the PS480 after XIII-2. XV could take them five years very easily.

 

[BlueTsunami]

There's nothing stopping FFXIII-3 from being a next generation or cross generational title.

If this series leaks over to the next generation... I don't know. SE should be looking at the next generation of consoles as a clean slate.

Also, its funny, I remember some person from SE talking about brand fatigue regarding Final Fantasy and yet they pull this sort of cash-in. A sequel to such a weak entry to the series is already suspect, making it a trilogy is just a sign of being creatively bankrupt.

 

[michaeltraps]

Hell, if XIII-2 is good (I'm intrigued from what I've seen/read so far), then keep em' coming.

Spoiler

Nomura just needs more time!

 

[jimmypython]

info for 13-2 domain name registration appeared 5 days before the announcement

so.......they will announce 13-3 next week at TGS??

Spoiler

for 3DS or Vita?

Given he has nothing to do with this one but some of the faces I could easily see him have nothing to do at all with a XIII-3.

I just think SE don't want to move on because they are dreaming that in next gen there will be a PS2 like system for their main FF series were it's FF land again so they are keeping 15 for that dream savoir , hope they realize that the decline wasn't because of the systems.

Needs more time to finish Versus XIII

 

[Beth Cyra]

Like I said ealier I belive VS XIII will be a 12 game so hopefully a XIII-3 will come out afterword.

KH3? What's that? There's no such thing.

 

[Soul_Pie]

The series is such a confused mess these days. Boy they have really stuffed it up over the past 10 years or so.

 

[djplaeskool]

Quoting my post from bottom of the last page. Anyone feel the same?

Not in the least.
They've taken a number of risks and followed through with a number of decisions that have been head scratching, but I don't think for a minute that they have lost their ability. That "touch" that used to define Square games? Maybe, but then I play games like The Last Remnant or Dissidia or DQIX and all in all...

Hell, I'm logged into FFXIV as we speak.

I don't think it's so much creative bankruptcy as a sign that they think they lack enough time, especially with their current skillset/tools.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

They need to take FF to handhelds where they're not completely drowning in massive development cycles for years on end and creating new engines to try and keep up with the pace of evolving hardware etc
Personally I'd be happy to have something that delivers visuals akin to FFXII/FFXIII for the foreseeable future if it meant actually getting new games with more content on a more regular basis instead of waiting 5 years for a visual marvel that has no substance

Also, I can't say this enough, fire Watanabe for creating that terrible script in FFXIII

 

[Riposte]

XII would have met similar resistance just with another group of people.

Not to mention it was just not as XII but expansions on the world.

XII's world had a sequel in Revenant Wings and in some ways the FFTA games.

 

[Rahxephon91]

The same SE that's all about multiplatform engines these days? Yeah this post dosent make much sense.

 

[ZoddGutts]

Sigh.

 

[Beth Cyra]

XII's world had a sequel in Revenant Wings and in some ways the FFTA games.

Well that is what I meant by world expansions.

I didn't want to say sequel per se because I think alot of people saying Seqeul to XII are wanting game play not just the world.

Agito XIII took longer then XIII and will barely beat XIII-2 out the gate so just putting them on Handheld isn't going to sovle that problem.

DP sorry.

It'll be interesting if XIII-3 will be online.

 

[Rahxephon91]

Why? FF use to be like that.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

I'm not mad about this. If it means they retread on the same combat system a third time, i will be disappointed though. Not having to rebuild everything means they can take more risks theoretically within that shorter dev cycle. Lets hold off judgement.

 

[TomcatTheLion]

Two year cycle is such a bad idea for RPG's

FFVII (1997)
FFVIII (1999)
FFIX (2000)
FFX (2001)

Not at all.

 

[Coxy]

That would suck if XIII-2 ends in a cliffhanger with the words....


...To be continued in XIII-3

What a joke of a company, they cant move forward with the series, nor move back to styles that were popular, they're lost, dazed and confused.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Different teams. It shouldn't effect quality like you may think it does.

 

[PokéKong]

The facts..... XIII and VS XIII were announced at the same time, under the Fabula Nova Crystallis moniker, and known to be linked in some mysterious way. If the two take place in the same world, they clearly are in vastly different eras in time.
XIII-2 involves time travel.
I think all things considered, it's highly likely XII-2 acts as a transition/link between the two games, and this caused them to consider just renaming VS as XIII-3. I don't take this registration as a confirmation of a name change, only that they are considering it.

And I'm completely ruling out XII-3 being an actual new game. To me that's just way too redonkadonk.

 

[Beth Cyra]

XIII in story and characters are like many of the popular games you speak of they just didn't pull it off this time is all.

It dont see what the big deal would be. If FFXIII-2 turns out to be really good, then making a trilogy isn't so bad.

 

[Replicant]

Milk that old cow, baby!

 

[Flying Wonkey]

..... Milk does the body good.

I guess.

 

[cosmicblizzard]

Well I don't think even the most hardcore XIII lover would want XIII-3 over something new like a XV, even less so we we haven't tried XIII-2 yet.

Depends on the team doing it, but yes I would rather have a XV by the same team than XIII-3 unless XIII-2 is godlike (and even then I might rather have XV).

 

[SMT]

If it's a handheld RPG, I'd buy it.
But I really want a Final Fantasy VII remake. **cries**
