Community Thread: FFXIII reaches 1.2 Million Sales
There might be a Final Fantasy XIII-2 happening sometime in the future. WriteAboutGames sat down with Kitase and they talked about Freedom, HD, and Sequel. In Freedom, Kitase talked about how Final Fantasy games are intentionally made to be focused on story than more open like Western RPGs. He even went as far as to compare Final Fantasy XIII to Call of Duty. In HD, he talked about how some fans might be upset in what they are doing in Final Fantasy XIII, but that the development team needs to try something new, and he hopes that fans tag along. In Sequel, he stated that he would love for a Final Fantasy XIII-2 game to release, since they spent so much time creating the worlds and the systems. It all depends on how well it sells. Another interesting tidbit in Sequel is that, “We do not know if there will be a XV. This depends a lot on the success of XIII.”

Community Thread: FFXIII-2 Could Happen, FFXV Unknown
At GDC recently, Motomu Toriyama talked about the other two Fabula Nova Crystalis games that are being worked on, and how they connect with each other; the other two FNC games being Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and Final Fantasy Agito XIII. Motomu Toriyama stated, “Agito and Versus won’t be sequels to the recently released Final Fantasy XIII — they’ll both have their own unique set of characters, gameplay systems and overarching stories. The only thing connecting them is the “Crystal Mythos” motif — a theme where the fates of ordinary humans are controlled by omnipotent gods. Players of Final Fantasy XIII should already be acquainted with this storytelling device.” He also gave out another detail, “The rest of the series will continue to focus on story-driven gameplay rather than allowing the player to explore an open world.” Very interesting.
