SE made a statement recently about FFXIII defeating FF7 in sells. Thats what XIII-2 and 3 are about. SE is annoyed FFXIII that ff13 and lighting did not become the phenomenon thats FF7/cloud and there gonna keep shoving them down our throat intill the are satisfied weve had enough. They really wanted 13 to be ff7

ive heard about this, and its really confusing. Do you have a link cause i would love to know what SE is on, FF7 had sold almost ten mil on PS1 ALONE, not even counting PC numbers or PSN DLs. FF13 ps360 combined dont even reach those numbers...unless they are talking about the FF13and31-2, if that is the case then SE is more sad and pathetic than i thought. using two games across two systems to make it look better than ONE game released on ONE system years ago is sad. Hell by that logic why not add Dirge of Cerebus, Crisis Core sales for FF7, dont stop there how much Bluray/DVD copies of Advent Children were sold?


They must be talking about FFXIII as a sub franchise/series not the first game itself.

Its still a stupid comparison, why compare a sub franchise to one game?? It makes little sense, why not compare it to the FF7 sub francshise, i guess if they did that it wouldnt make FF13 look that good.

where's a link? There was  thread necroed here from somethign they said in like 2008. And even then the quote was more along the lines of "we hope so." Maybe they said something else idk

i think the reason lighting returns : final fantasy 13 is being made , is because alot of ppl who like lighting were upset that she wasnt the main character for ff13-2, so this game is to make those ppl happy and to conclude lighting's story once and for all.

No. I felt like FFXIII-2 didn't improve much over FFXIII and apparently, so have the other gamers. At this point, I don't understand why SE is trying to hammer the FFXIII so much. No one (OK, I know. That's an overstatement) really wanted FFXIII-2 so why would SE expect consumers to want FFXIII-3?


because they already have a lot of assetts (lore, graphic assets etc), so it's cheaper and easier to make. They don't need it to sell like a new FF. Same reason why they made dirge sold 1 million and then crisis core like 3 million. They know the demand is less, but the demand is there.

Plus it makes sense for the peoplet that actually like it. It doesn't make sense to not finish for the people that actually like it, because then you make more people not happy.

Also it's not like anyone that doesn't like FFXIII wants Toriyama's team doing the next final fantasy anyways.

Technically yes, since they ended Final Fantasy XIII-2 on a cliffhanger. But what it comes down to is pride. Kitase and Wada have to do everything they can to make people like Final Fantasy XIII, even if it means destroying the franchise in the process.

that's from 2006... What you say in 2006 does not mean current plans in 2013.

Even in your op it doesn't make sense. FFXIII: lightning returns will likely sell more and cost less to make than Star Ocean 5? So why would it make sense dump a mini-series that needs to be finished.

Not to mention a Tri-Ace makes Star Ocean so they could be doing that anyways.

As a big fan of the first 2, even I have to say no. They're just extending the storyline for the sake of it, and fucking it up in the process. I was content with the ending of Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2's story could have been a great continuation, but it was executed poorly.

The only reason I want a XIII-3 is to fix the mess of a storyline that was in the previous game.

Pretty much this.

I want to add that story-wise the game is needed because of the mess of story in 13-2, but the game as a whole is not really needed and people (like me) are getting tired of this
