... But then they realize that SE has been pretty loopy this generation.
XIII-2 gets registered in a similar fashion, game ends up actually being real sometime later.
And Square kinda would be out of their mind to milk XIII before the sequel is even completed. If by chance XIII-2 goes into bomba status worldwide, how silly would they end up if they invested some amount of development into a hypothetical XIII-3?
cosmicblizzard said:I highly doubt they would even start on XIII-3 before getting sales results for XIII-2. It's not like they have any more teams to work on it.
Dissonance said:Who says it has to be a publisher?
Some people trademark titles just so they can sell them later and make a profit.

While building teams is now in the hands of the player, the responsibility of building the unique worlds of Pulse and Cocoon rested firmly on the shoulders of the Final Fantasy creators. Even after playing a mere five hours, it feels to me that there is much more to this universe than this story. It seems obvious to continue adventures on these two worlds in a direct sequel. So, will there be a Final Fantasy XIII-2? The men laugh and begin to answer very diplomatically: That depends on how well the game sells in the West! But after pressing a bit, Kitase concedes he would very much like to do a direct sequel. In the past three years we worked both on the world and on the various systems. Creating these systems isnt very glamourous and can frankly be a bit boring. If we could do a XIII-2, we could direct all our attention to the story and refine what we have already built.
This is an advantage which will not exist for the team that might create Final fantasy XV (XIV is already announced as an MMO). Every numbered Final Fantasy game stands on its own, and is created starting with a blank slate. Still, elements carry over to become canon, like chocobo, crystals, and archetypcal spells. What elements of FFXIII would Kitase like to carry over into future Final Fantasies?
We do not know if there will be a XV. This depends a lot on the success of XIII. Also, it is difficult to pinpoint elements that are typical Final Fantasy. They are mostly invisible: part of the DNA of the game, that everyone recognizes as typical Final Fantasy. But *if* there is a XV, I hope the way we wrote our characters carries over. We strived to create believable people of flesh and blood. They are not robots. And they are not super heroes. I hope this humanity is something we will see again.

300k isn't anything to sneez at but it sure as hell isn't gang busters so unless Dues Ex did far better outside of NA then no, it didn't do Gangbusters.Kaizer said:LOL at Squenix: "Well guys due to our incompetence, it took us this long to just barely make some HD assets for FFXIII, we'll save the towns we couldn't finish for XIII-2."
Squenix Team Member: "What about starting work on FFXV, Wada-san? XIV is doing...............gooooood And we just sold gangbusters with Deus Ex, right guys? (Other employees hang their heads in disappointment)"
Wada: "Are you fucking retarded? Do you not realize how damn long it took us to just barely scrap together XIII and you wanna go and restart from the beginning? Hahahaha! We're milking these damn XIII assets for all they're worth boys. You guys better pray to the gods Nomura doesn't fuck up Versus, or we're gonna be in deep shit."

Elsewhere in the interview, Kitase revealed that the team that made Final Fantasy XIII is at work on their next project. According to Kitase, Square Enix has a policy of each team making a game at a pace of one title every two years, so the wait for this title will presumably not be too long.

XII would have met similar resistance just with another group of people.Kyoufu said:I know right? XII should have been whored out so hard. SO HARD.
