No surprises here. So long as the assets (provided they were good) are involved in FFXV, nothing will have been lost.

I'd imagine this has been decided after the lackluster sales of FFXIII-2 then?



If this were true and they were upset with XIII-2 sales, then they wouldnt be planning to announce XIII-3 in September.

I also doubt this will be changed to XV. Ito is working on XV. It cant be that far away from release. Id imagine if this did get changed, we would be looking at something similar to type-0.

Its FF13-2's sales that might be exactly the reason Wada wants to comission FF13-3.

Based on everything that has been said about FF13, FF13-2, et al; its possible that Wada simply dosent want that team to work on another mainline installment of the FF series. Hence he keeps giving them sequels and things like the Parasite Eve reboot rather than allowing them to continue with FF15 or FF16.

I think Wada is waiting to see how FF15 is recieved and he will then commission FF16 with the team from FF13. he wont let them simply move onto FF16 without finishing the FF13 series.

I'm not talking about the quality of FF13, et al. this is not an invitation to discuss that. My point is that FF13-3 might be on the horizon because Wada wants them to improve on the forumla of FF13, FF13-2, before allowing them to move onto another project. In short FF13-2's sales could be the reason he wants them to conitinue with the FF13 series rather than moving onto something else.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII cancelled = Horrible
Final Fantasy XIII-3 announced = Lame
Final Fantasy XV infos = Awful
Final Fantasy XIV PS3 = Useless

Am so disappointed.


The only thing those things have in common is the FF brand on the box.

There will be other RPGs to look forward to;  Tales of Graces F, Tales of Xilila, Ni No Kuni, maybe Dark Souls 2.

And i have a secret fantasy every day that Sony will one day announce Legend of Dragoon 2. Legend of Dragoon has been a great success on the PS network. I hope this encourges Sony to do it. Its one of the few IPs that Microsoft and NIntendo have nothing to compete with.

And it was unfortunate that it was competing with the exclusive FF8 at the time. there was no way LOD could compete with that. Now the FF brand is weakend, i think LOD would be very successful. Anyway this is off topic, point is there are other RPGs, and FF15 might just supprise us!

I personally don't really like the 'Tales of' series but you're right about Ni No Kuni.

Still, the Dragon Quest series has gone haywire thanks to SE again and the Persona series is nowhere to be found.

What's left for turn-based JRPGs on consoles? Not much outside of very niche titles that fill the deepest holes but hardly to the brim.

The persona series is also starting to go downhill:

Yeah it's worrying but at least it wasn't made by the Persona team. All I'm hoping is that Persona 5 doesn't end up on the Vita.

Oh stop QQing. The assets were moved to FFXV and team nomura can focus on KH3.

Its all for the best.

I hope it does come on the Vita. Persona 4 golden sold amazingly on the Vita so persona 5 will definintly be on the vita

If true, S-E better make a public announcement as fans would probably lose alot of faith in S-E...well until the next FF or KH III

poor square...they would rather release 3 versions of Final Fantasy XIII than release the one everyone has been waiting for...
