Final Fantasy 13 - A Storm Gathers

Been playing a little MGS4 lately eh?

Not really. But its one of my favorite lines in gaming. Such a badass line.

Hopefully Lightning would say something equally badass in...whatever this is supposed to be. I hope its an action game instead of a RPG for some reason. Watching some of those Revengeance videos makes me wonder...what if that was Lightning doing all that badass stuff in an action game. FFXIII-3: Revengeance. I'd day one it. I would take a vacation week to play it.


Final Fantasy: Rising.

FFXIII-3 Revengeance....believe.
 
I'm on board. An entirely different approach sounds interesting. Its unlikely, but actually exploring an open Pulse with new characters would be a hoot.
 
I actually think Versus could well remain exclusive. Only because I don't think - from what we've been told about the game, that it would lend itself as a particularly easy port. This coupled with the fact that final fantasy sales are far lower in general on 360 sort of suggests that the game would stay exclusive by default. I mean they've been very open with other titles and their intended platforms yet still advertise Versus as an exclusive.

Wasn't it the same for XIII until that famous E3 reveal?
 
A quick whois shows SE doesn't own that.

What about this though? Quoting myself from some pages ago:

I remember we discovered about XIII-2 when Square registered the right to own the name or something.

There is no such thing yet for this? I don't know how long before it has to be done, but I remember they actually used a weird name to do that back in the days to try and disguise it, but they made the same for that game Mind Jack so that didn't work as they expected.

EDIT:

Actually here is the thread:

So yeah, I tried looking into the other entries of that registrant (Square) and there is actually a finalfantasyXIII-3 there.

http://whois.domaintools.com/finalfantasyxiii-3.com

I thought it was common for the devs to get the name in advance for future possible sequels. But they actually stopped with xiii-3. Maybe it's nothing but still...

ALSO, Ali Hillis (Lightning voice actress) just tweeted this: http://twitter.com/missalihillis/status/238321476716068864

Hmmmm...
 
So Square finally posted the links to the NicoNico livestream. The Lightning Saga one starts at 11:30 JST, and here it is:

The other presentations (XIV, etc) are going to be live too, and they are listed in this gematsu article:

It should be nice to create an account on NicoNico already if you're going to watch it.

Also, is anyone going to do the OT for the event? I would like to do it if no one is. :)
 
My hype level has been through the roof back then!

As for a continuation of Lightning's saga, I could really see a movie like Advent Children beeing a success.

Hey this could be a good idea, instead of a FF XIII-3 they could make a movie if they want to continue the story, but I doubt SE would be interested.

Or maybe a spin-off game that continues Lightning's story but it plays totally different from FF XIII.

An HD tactics game with the cast of XIII could actually be really cool. I would not be upset about such an announcement.

I doubt that's what it is, though.
 
just put it out there/

they trademarked 'A Realm Reborn', 'Solo Remix' and 'Deathless' together near the end of /last week of May. Now we know what the other two are for. don't think this will be called XIII-3.

"Deathless"? That could be anything, of course, but assuming its this -

XIII-2 spoiler:
Caius was immortal. Was Lightning also?
 
no, I hear it's a chess game. Lightning is Queen and Hope is King ^_^

So it's Type-0 after all! I want to believe.

Three things seem to be "Deathless";
Caius, Lightning
and Final Fantasy XIII.

Sounds perfect.
 
I love how they have all sorts of different names while referring to the upcoming announcement. The event is listed as "Lightning Saga" on the FF 25th Anniversary Event homepage. The Niconico Livestream page calls it XIII Project. The Twitter they just launched is called Lightning Room, and the profile refers to the announcement as "a new Lightning game". It's all so deep.

You mean so clusterfuck that a company like S-E cannot maintain a uniform naming policy?

No, it's really pretty deep. Anyone who is a true fan of art and philosophy will understand. By having all these separate pieces out there, when they are put together and the true meaning is understood, it will shine like a precious jewel. It will become... something beautiful.

"O sweet Lightning, how long have you wandered in the dark. Release your tired soul, and find rest upon my bosom..."
 
The gamer in me has no expectations at all, but the FF fan in hopes that at least this would be the last game in me this insipid trilogy. And then Squeenix can finally move on.
