i don't know where i heard this rumor, but i did and i was wondering if it is true or not. (Please say it's not :cry: :cry: )

This rumor goes around with every FF game. Square hasnt said anything about ending the series, and since they've decided that it, along with Kingdom Hearts and Dragon Quest/Warrior, will be one of the three pillars of the company, ending it seems doubtful.
Not to mention that FFVII: Dirge of Cerebrus is coming out way after XII.
I saw, on a gaming site (could have been IGN), that Square has put FFXIII on the list for new games coming out on the next-gen consoles.
Maybe it's wrong, but I think they'll keep them coming, anyways.
I imagine XIII comes out for PS2 and XIV comes out for PS3, b/c their games always ran in series of 3s... and don't tell me X-2 counts...
Um... PS2 had X, XI, and XII. XIII will be on the PS3 if the trend continues.
I read years ago that XII would be the last, but I don't think that is still true.
FF13-15 are licenesed titles, so there will be at least 15 Final Fantasys
yup they have been working on them and as far as i know they are already 25% done through alot of the work of 13 ^_^... 13 has been in progress since 2000-01 though >.< I remember seeing sketches for it YEARS ago!
IN a recent interview with the square pres. they dont feel that they will be planning an end to the series till 13 is complete.
Where are these sketches you speak of? I must see them. I want to see developmental pictures and sketches of XIII, and now. Please. ...:)
After FFVIII, Square announced FFIX-XI and released some extremely preliminary screenshots and artwork for all three games. Nothing about FFXII, though, and certainly nothing about FFXIII.
Bah, all you people, getting me curious...
I dont have the sketches nor could i ever help you with finding them... like i said, its been years. I am sure that after this year they will release them when they are more ready with it.
What I do know is that I remember seeing one of the sketches for thirteen and they seemed to have a few new "species" or "races" of humanoids in the works... the sketches were just sketches but it does seem that they have some amazing creatures to come ^_^
You're probably talking about the sketches of what eventually became FFIX, from when it had the job system and that chocobo-copter and a black-furred and masculine-looking Freya and all. Again, Square didn't release anything for FFXII or FFXIII back then.
its true i COULD be mistaken... but ill just assume i was right with myself cuz i remembering it saying XIII... Doesnt matter cuz its not like you guys can see what i saw ya know!? for now lets say i didnt see them for the sake of this :P
so we got it figured 12 isnt the last one atleast ^_^
Can we close this thread now? :DQuote:
5.6 Is this going to be the last Final Fantasy?
No, definitely not. I still wonder how people come to that conclusion, but there's no truth to this rumor. Last indication was an interview from Square president Wada in Mainichi Interactive (translated in http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2004/1186.html) mentioning that some innovations designed for FFXII might become standard for the series.
In the meantime, Wada mentioned in one interview that work was underway on FFXIII as well.
Could but Won't
*starts to cheer "Don't Let FF Die.....except for VIII DIE VIII DIE"
Hey ff 8 was great!!!

Roman numerals go up to (SPOILER)at least 1000. It's going to take a while.
Roman numerals can go on infinetly as far as I know. Ever looked inside a book? They have roman numerals past two thousand.
I heard there gonna make FF games until 13 or 22 ! When is FF12 out in the U.K? :(
rumors, rumors -- naughty little lies or thoughts of jealousy. other titles have become a "was", but not Final Fantasy...
Well, I'd say the rumor that rumors are going around certainly is true.
I don't think they'd come out and say that the series is ending because companies always want to be able to create more if the current product does well.
If FFXII does well, the series will continue. Even if it doesn't, it still will probably continue.
Take care all.
The only way there's going to be a "Final" Final Fantasy is if either the world ends or Square dies somehow.
As long as Square's around though, I seriously doubt they'll stop. It'd be like if Nintendo stopped making Mario games.
I know there will be more Final Fantasys they make tons of money off it there is no way they will end it now. its way too successfulQuote:

My guess is as long as there are still Final Fantasy fans, Square Enix would keep coming up with more FF games.
I have not heard any rumors that this will be the last Final Fantasy.
However, I have heard the rumor that they're actually further along on Final Fantasy XIII than they are on XII.
Final Fantasy will keep going as long as it makes money, so this I wont answer, Ill put it to you.
You Direct Squarenix.
Final Fantasy is a huge world wide name and pulls in millions. Why, oh why would you finish the series?
FINAL FANTASY has to die sometime.
Time shows that popular things eventually lose their popularity. Just because there are more titles beig licensed doesn't mean they'll continue to make these games if they don't think they'll be profitable
...mind you, final fantasy IS profitable, and I highly doubt it's going to die any time soon, but there will be a time.
