I quite liked FFXIII, and even I think two sequels is overkill. What happened to the Square who... you know... actually developed titles not connected to Final Fantasy? :'D
Really? :'D In terms of non-remakes that are unconnected to Final Fantasy and were developed in house in the last five years, the only ones I can think of are Parasite Eve: The 3rd Birthday, TWEWY, The Last Remnant and a couple of Dragon Quest titles. Maybe six or seven titles. Going from memory, Squaresoft matched that in 1999 alone (Racing Lagoon, Legend of Mana, Chrono Cross, Saga Frontier 2, Parasite Eve 2, Threads of Fate). If Square-Enix are directly working on a title nowadays, it's almost always going to be a Final Fantasy title, a Final Fantasy spinoff, or Kingdom Hearts. And while I'm not as down on Final Fantasy as some people seem to be nowadays, it's kind of sad that that's pretty much all they're about development-wise these days. :/

It's mostly all about what sells, and what sells more than their most popular franchise
Plus to even have the balls to try something new after your company's products popularity and general well being has been dropping *not a lot, but steadily* is just not in right now (for them)
*But I did love Parasite Eve - 3rd Birthday (not for the stupid little Lightning clothing change, just the improvements made to the game play and a passable story)*
"I am... Sheik. One of the last of the Sheikah tribe..."
Illusion of time 2? Does it need to happen?![]()
Okay, so the game in question is called Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.
Despite the fancy title it's basically just XIII-3.

The hate, it's super delicious.
SUPER DELICIOUS
Eh, I'll buy it. I liked the other games in this particular series, people are just butthurt because AH IT'S NO XV.
My facebook wall is blowing up about how Tales games are better, Square Enix has no good ideas lol.

Yeah, and at least Lightning is the protag this time. Better have her as the main character than her sister + random Kingdom Hearts dude in XIII-2.![]()
