Toriyama and Kitase: Interested in Developing Final Fantasy XIII-2

[Loony BoB]

I'd be interested enough to buy it. The story left off at a point where a lot could happen, and it would be great to have a bigger journey around the rest of the world of Pulse.

[ANGRYWOLF]

the idea is fraught with peril.

They need to just go on and after Versus go on to FFV and be able to put the stuff in that game they left out of this one, namely npcs and towns and villages.

[Mo-Nercy]

Sad thing is, I'd probably still buy it.

But I hope for my sake, they go onto FFXV.

[eestlinc]

I'd rather see DLC for the main game adding some sidequests and super bosses.

[ANGRYWOLF]

downloadable content.

Looney Bob mentioned that in another thread.
I googled it and found an interview with Toriyama where he said there wouldn't be any...that the idea there was going to be some was a misunderstanding.

So FFXIII is as it is unless they do a FFXIII-2.

Or FF13 international !

Where am I going to find the money for this?

[finaloblivion]

i personally would be stoked for it. after the way the game ends, it leaves a lot of possibilities for a sequel taking place on pulse, which would also open up the possibility for more locations, explorable towns/sidequests, that sort of thing that i wasn't bothered with the game lacking but itd b cool either way. after they finish versus, which will supposedly have a traversable world map (which will lead to more locations/exploration), the team will be able to bring their knowledge they gained from that project to XIII-2 and be able to utilize crystal tools more efficiently.

to me, they've already established the world and the gameplay systems, if they expanded on it and moved forward, and id be very interested to see where the characters are a few years afterward. then again, i really enjoyed this game so whatev. i for one thought the ending was good.

[VeloZer0]

It just hit me. The citizens of pulse have lost their government and are now forced to adapt and explore a new and dangerous foreign environment. If that doesn't spell rich MMO material I don't know what does.

[arcanedude34]

Here we go again!

Let's not stop at XIII versus, XIII-2, XIII-3

CASHhhhhhhhhhhh In!

"Yo, remember when we used to make one or two great titles a year..."

"Yeah I remember that but why the hell bother?"

"yeah I get ya, we can create one great title a year or make as many crap ones as we can and exponentially increase our revenue"

"Will the fanbase fall for it?"

"Sure, there is a sucker born every minute"

Hate to agree with seifer on something here, but... yeah. Pretty much this. D:

*SIGH* And this

Why ? Versus might be spin-off but it has new gameplay, world , characters and story. It is not a good way to cash in unless they change the title to be FF15 .

[arcanedude34]

Okay, my fault for not specifying. I am looking forward to Versus. I just meant that I do agree with SE tending to cash in on previous titles (compilation, all the remakes of the first six games, X-2, 358/2 Days, the list goes on). But yeah, I'm looking forward to Versus as it will stand on its own (at least I hope) and not be a lame cash-in.

[Mo-Nercy]

If Versus is so different, why couldn't it have been called FFXIV or XV? Don't get me wrong... I'm liking the trailers and pictures I've seen of it so far, but it'd be nice to see SE come out of the comfort zone they've made for themselves lately of persistantly sequel-ing games and thinking they'll attract more fans that way. If they hadn't gone down the X-2 and Compilation of VII road, they'd be up to XVI or XVII and we'd have a lot more to talk about 'round here and FF would be rollin' on just like the old days. A good game that's not a sequel is more likely to attract newbies than one that is.

[Madame Adequate]

I'd love another game like X-2.

[Del Murder]

X-2 was actually a pretty great game in terms of gameplay. I haven't beat XIII yet but I'm sure there's room for a sequel there. Maybe without the pressure of trying to be different with their main entries to the series, the sequel can have a more traditional aspect to it.
