PlayStation Euphoria: Square Enix has received a lot of flak for the Final Fantasy XIII series from fans and critics alike. There is no actual battle system in place as the game chooses which moves to use for you. Plus, the story in Final Fantasy XIII-2 is confusing and horribly concluded. Despite these issues, Yoshinori Kitase, the producer of Final Fantasy XIII, told Famitsu that there will be a continuation of the series and a title announced for this project during Final Fantasy’s 25th Anniversary Event at Shibuya . This does not bode well with me so here are “4 Games Square Enix Should Be Working On Instead of Final Fantasy XIII-3.”

There's so much cool $h/+ that u could do to move it forward...they should b on the cutting edge. Maybe link it to the new reborn mmo in some way to increase replayability. C'mon guys, think outside the box and give us something fresh. Screw FF13-3, get on that luminous engine, craft an epic story, and release a dynamite RPG at launch on the new next Gen systems. They are 1 game away from being back at the top.
Oh, and chrono trigger 3, I think, would b awesome. But I think it's beat to start fresh. Kill versus and put 500 ppl on FFXV. It's tarnished.
X-2, XIII, XIII-2 and now most likely XIII-3 were all directed and developed by Motomu Toriyama and his Team. They are completely separate from Ito's team who are rumored to be 4+ years into developing XV and again from Nomura's team who are working on Versus XIII, which is the reason why there has been no Kingdom Hearts III.
This article is just looking for hits and to stir up the fans. Nothing more.
I understand where you are coming from mate, and my comment was not meant as a personal attack against yourself. There are already teams dedicated to both XV & vs. XIII and it is because of Versus that we are yet to hear anything on KH3.
I would prefer for Toriyama to utilize the resources he already has and complete the lightening saga than start a new project that would take years. XIII-2 was a major improvement and given the turn around time on XIII-3 it's better they complete it and then find a new creative lead for next-gen. The old VII, VIII & X team needs a new director and leadership.
If you see a recent article posted on N4G, there are currently 300+ staff dedicated to the FFXIV: Realm Reborn project. If anything, that is a far more dire task than redeeming XIII.
I would also like to say you have an interesting point about Nier, so kudos for that.
Wonder what happened to FFX HD anyways? seems to of been pushed off the radar.
Square need to get their act together they've disgruntled a lot of their fans this gen me being one of them and it's only going to have a negative impact on them next gen. People used to buy Final Fantasy on day one because they knew it would be a great game, but now...I'm not so sure.
Since we still have no news on Versus XIII here's to hoping FF15 gets the franchise back on track whenever it get's released.
I've been wondering a while what happened to FFX-HD, seems it might have been swept under the rug.
Which is disappointing, I've been trying to hold out until the HD version to replay it again, and I really want to replay it again.
I know if I decided to replay the PS2 version, HD would be released right after I finished, and I wont want to play it again lol.
2. Versus XIII
3. Versus XIII
4. Versus XIII
Even though after all this time it'll probably be a dissapointment. *sigh*
I don't think it will be a disappointment. What they have showed is proof that the game will be good. (at least the gameplay). Hopefully the story doesn't come out like Final Fantasy XIII or XIII-2 (boring, confusing, uninteresting, weird).
I am really looking foward to 13-3 since I enjoyed part 2 and mildly enjoyed part 1.
Have a read of this thread. http://www.finalfantasy-fxn...
It's highly rated because it brings back many things that Final Fantasy fans have been craving for a while, and all within one game. Plus, a large majority of series fans were disappointed to some degree with XIII and XIII-2. It's a symbol of hope to many, and it's brimming with potential.
Like I said, a lot of promises on paper and tech demos. Lets reserve this judgement when it actually .. i mean IF it actually comes out.
I personally would love for the Tactics series to have the same kind of gameplay as Valkyria Chronicles. Imagine actually being able to see T.G. Cid on the battlefield instead of a sprite and then seeing him wreak havoc on all his enemies. And maybe let us see what Balbanes would be like and what a Heavenly Knight can really do. I mean, the original game pretty much said he was the most powerful knight in Ivalice, I always wanted to know why.
But they should only make the game if they can get the A.I. to be as punishing as it is in the original Tactics. That A.I. is something else.
Things that need to be made before a VII remake is what this article should have dealt with.
Versus XIII, KH3, XIII-3, FFXV, V & VI Remakes, VII-2 and that rumoured XII sequel that might be bull. After those they can make a VII remake, but I won't buy it.
Speaking of which, did SE forget the secret ending in Dirge of Cerberus? Where the hell is our game explaining what Genesis is going to be up? I want to talk to SE's customer survey department and see who the hell they're talking to because they sure as hell don't have a clue about what people want.
That big 'To be continued' at the end(insulting) never gets closure.
Also, considering how many people dont buy DLC, and dont have access to the novels(pretty much anyone outside Japan) it would be silly to leave 13-2 on a cliffhanger for the majority of the players.
I do think it should be made, but I dont think they should put it in priority before these other titles.
-Nier wasnt made by SE, just published. It was made by Cavia; which no longer exists. (Granted I loved the game, but this will never happen)
-Typo on #4 title says FFVIII, when he means FFVII
(Was excited that someone recognized VIII, then quickly disappointed)
-No FFXV
(Lol what?)
-No FFX-HD
(What happened to this?)
Still I dont know how much I'd want a Nier2 without the Cavia dev team.
If they do though, hopefully they get Yoko Taro to help out.
+bubs
And while, FFX-HD is an old game being remastered, it was already announced, as opposed to FF7 remake. They cant really move forward without finishing things that are announced, plus I really do want an FFX-HD anyways.
I honestly dont even care about a 7 remake at this point, I want new stories, new music compositions, new experiences. You are right that it is likely more important for the majority of fans.
I'm kind of backwards in my view of games. I want to see a great story, live the atmosphere, get emotions from the music. Like certain movies and books. I really dont care for the playing portion of the game. Ha.
is complicated, but is the true.
Point is whatever Square does its a win win situation for me. Granted its taking a LONG TIME for them to get their priorties in order. Hopefully next Gen Square can get their shit together I like this Gen but it couldve been MUCH BETTER.
