I'm not particularly a fan of Final Fantasy games anymore so I may be totally off, but I'm surprised 13 is getting this much focus. I thought it wasn't terribly popular.
The stream is just talking, so unless you can understand Japanese, there's little point.There might be more outrage if more people could watch the stream.
All this FFXIII stuff is the very definition of "nobody asked for this"
It's cheaper because the engine is already up and running, along with the potential for asset reuse.
Majora's Mask 2?
So is this Final Fantasy XIII-3? Majora's Mask 2?
they want to get as much mileage out of xiii as possible.I'm a little ignorant when it comes to Sqaure these days, but were all these XIII spin-offs planned from the get-go? I'd have to imagine they were, and they just chose to go ahead in spite of the mixed reception of XIII.
This is a terrible name for a JRPG....

The most startling change to Lightning Returns comes in the form of the doomsday countdown. According to Square-Enix, the world will end after 13 days, and a massive clock will count down constantly in the corner of the screen to indicate this looming deadline. Any action players take, even taking the monorail from place to place, will spend time and hasten the end of days.
With Lightning as the only playable character, players will have unparalleled control over customizing her looks and combat style. The battle system itself, a greatly modified version of the previous two, will feature real-time elements including direct control of Lightning's movement and her attacks, as well as time-based moves that drain the doomsday counter. Lightning Returns will also include a real-time block system, designed to make battles much more active and time-based. Even dying mid-battle will activate a prompt to give players the choice to rewind their mistakes at the expense of the timer.
wow lightning must really be popular in japan.

Is Square trying to win a bet with Sega, Capcom, and Konami regarding who can destroy a popular IP the most?

Ehh... I dunno. Sounds interesting yet boring at the same time. I'm disappointed that she's the only character we have to use.
Edit: I do like that we can finally move her around, but... Well, we'll see if they release some battle footage.

Revengeance-tier.
Will wait for Final Gantasy XIII-5 starring Vanille and Fang as they try to save the President who got kidnapped by ninjas.
They are bad enough to save the president.

The time aspect has been the most worrying for me since I heard about the game. I'm still not really sure if I'm going to like it. I didn't like Majora's Mask because of it.
We do know that the main story takes place hundreds of years after Final Fantasy XIII-2, set in a world called Novus Partus -- which is composed of four islands connected by monorail.
