In case you may not have heard, Square Enix decided to license the name of Final Fantasy XIII - 3. That's right, they are planning to make a 3rd Final Fantasy XIII even before the second one has released. Apart from the ridiculousness of creating a third game to a 13th installment of a franchise, the idea they would even consider it before the second game of the 13th installment of a franchise has come out baffles me.
What we can already conclude from this is the following:
1. We now know the "story" of Final Fantasy 13 will not conclude in the second game. So we know there is no reason to even traverse that game until the third one gets a release date.
2. Square apparently liked Final Fantasy 13, its world, and its characters so much that they are betting on it succeeding for 3 whole games. Knowing this I can now release what little faith I had left in Square.
3. The battle system will not change...and this is probably the worst part. We will have to endure that awful battle system 2 more times. Or not because if you are smart like me you won't play it.
4. We won't see Final Fantasy 15 for many years, or possibly never. If these games do as poorly as I suspect they will, Square may at last give us the Final Fantasy. Considering the series has been in a downward spiral since Final Fantasy 8, it wouldn't be such a bad thing.
5. I don't really have anything for a #5, but having only 4 bullet points sounded stupid.
So there you have it. Final Fantasy 13-3 coming to a store near you in the very distant future. Can you really handle more stance dancing, corridor running, and characters you don't know enough about to care? I know I can't. But Lightning is kinda hot, maybe she'll wear less and less clothing in each sequel much in the same way X-2 was handled. Ah, who am I kidding, it's not worth the 40 hour long hallway. Although you could get a lot of good ass shots as she runs...
*"Final Fantasy XIII-4, yeah we're just trying to milk our game engine until it pays for itself."*
