Financially this will be beneficial for Square Enix. They're already bleeding too much money as it is; this will stabilize their business in the long run. As long as they maintain the quality, it shouldn't really matter.
But if FFXIII-3 comes out in 2014, I wonder when Square will ship Versus? If the reason Versus isn't being shown right now is cuz of FFXIII-2 and Type - 0, what happens now?

Versus 13 should be PS4/ 720 launch title. The hype is already there for this game, imagine it being the only jRPG (a little bit westernized) on the market for those new consoles.
It is a no-brainer IMO.

After the dissapointment of Final Fantasy XIII, why would you announce two direct sequels to it?

Assuming its still an exclusive, I don't see any reason why Square should ditch the PS3 install base and release it on a new platform. If they do decide to release it on the Xbox 360, then we have a joint 100 million HD install base or more. I heard its in the pre-production stage, so it will probably come out in 2015 along with Respawn's game. :lol

Because, so far, FF13-2 fixes everything that was wrong with 13?
So you get 13's amazing graphics, soundtrack, battle system minus 13's shitty corridors and linearity?
Don't know WTF they are planning for 13-3, though.

I think this way we get better games and they get more profits. The feedback will help changing in short times things for the new title without risking to upset the audience. After 10 yrs of doubts, I think this is the first good move they're doing in the development of a FF.

Huh? What? He's just explaining why they aim for consoles, which is because their players want these things from a mainline FF game. He's not blaming them for anything. He's talking about trying to live up to fans expectations.hteng said:
What does this have to do with anything? If anything this means they are actually trying to work better in HD development.TheChaos said:

Well they do really need to make up for those losses (and FF13 wasn't exactly a rip roaring success that was becoming of the mainline series now)
Rahxephon91 said:
the explanation sure sounded like a complain, why use words like "no choice", "restriction" ?
a better wording would have been, we want our franchise to live up to player's expectation of top of the line graphics, so we plan to keep the mainline FF games in HD consoles.

So if FFXIII-3 were ever true... then I guess this gen we are getting on consoles:
2010: FFXIII
2012: FFXIII-2
2013: FFversusXIII
2014: FFXIII-3
that's 4 FF games for my PS3..... more than I ever imagined at the start of this generation, color me happy ;-)
Beside... it was clear at the start of this generation that SE were going to focus only on XIII for it, maybe leaving XV for the next generation and XVI for the generation after that... probably this is their new strategy now?
One main numbered FF game per a generation?
2010: FFXIII
2012: FFXIII-2
2013: FFversusXIII
2014: FFXIII-3

Well I don't think he used the words "restrict" since it's not actually in quotes. I think that's the articles own words.hteng said:

2 year development cycle, mmmkay.
Final Fantasy suddenly sounds a lot more final.
Final Fantasy suddenly sounds a lot more final.
I think the biggest problem with this is Square-Enix's absolutely abysmal project management. Seriously, for all their improvement, it still takes them entirely too long to produce games. Biggest problem with S-E for me.
Honestly, as much of a trainwreck as FFXIII-3 is destined to be, if Square was churning out projects at the speed of, say, Ubisoft, I don't think anyone would care about this.
But all of the Fabula Nova Crystallis projects still being announced after all these years when we've still only gotten one game from the supposed series means that, after all this time, we're still years away until Square does something truly new with the Final Fantasy series. At this rate, it's looking like we won't see FFXV until 2015, at the absolute earliest. And that's just disappointing.

That's the problem (with pretty much every SP-only game) of JP retail, not S-E. It doesn't say too many flattering things about brand identity, but the biggest measurable harm to S-E is that they can't sell very many more new copies because the used market is cheap and common.

No, it means they're conceding to this self-made fact and giving us sequels to an awful game just to reuse assets. 2 year dev cycle isn't that hard when all you've got to do is a pallet swap and hem Vannille's outfit (which is already edging the line of effort). They should just rename the series Final Purgatory.

Right, because there are other companies out there thinking about making a game called Final Fantasy XIII-3.

Well I was talking about Japan sales really (where they make more profit thanks to a stronger yen and higher game prices at launch)

So there's no chance that they're just rebranding Versus XIII as XIII-3?

Looks very promising. I'm curious to see if T.Nomura's team (or maybe Ito's?) will be continuing to produce titles at 2yrs cycle to alternate to the main saga:
2014: FFXIII-3
2015: Nomura's spin off
2016: FFXV
2017: Nomura's spin off
2018: FFXV-2
and so on. Basically a main trilogy for every generation, and a spin off trilogy alternating it. Like Dragon Age and Mass Effect for Bioware that is.
