NO, we don't want another one. Just get Matsuno on the next FF, though I doubt he'll fell like doing it

I love to see the jaded feelings of a huge and completely split fanbase.

"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Well, FFX was great, and FFX-2 was horribly flawed. Could it be vice versa this time around? Or will FFXIII-2 be a nightmare of an FF game?

Furthermore, there are way too many FF games in development...Agito XIII, Versus XIII, FFXV, and then the rumored ones, which are this and Haeresis XIII.

I hope, for their sake, that they fix the mistakes of FFXIII in future developments rather than rush them to the market like FFXIV.

Not according to Wada, he's cut Final Fantasy dev times down, now there's going to be a FInal Fantasy (main title?) every 2 years...

They couldn't make towns in four years, so will they be able to even make dungeons in two?

Probably not, I think Final Fantasy games are gonna turn into those Dragon Lair type games... except without having to make decisions. Oh and they couldn't make towns in 5 years.

XIII was in actual development for around 1 and a half years. The post mortem report on the game's development sheds light on lots of things. It seems they only realized how to make the game when they had to make a demo for it, terrible management.

On topic:

The game was big wasted potential because the world and setting was very compelling, but the story was just as boring, the Edge review put it in the best words -- "with a background fiction as rich as its story is poor". A shame because the battle system is one of the best

Taking into account that the developers of the game said Towns and minigames will return in their next game, taking into account FFXIII-2 should get a more focussed development time, the already good battle system and finally the great background setting of the world they have a chance to make a really great game. If it does happen I hope they can do it right this time and not mess up. Most of all they will have to make it good for it to sell and FFXV will be handled by a more competent team.
