Final Fantasy XIII-3 Might Not Happen
It’s been nearly a week since Final Fantasy XIII-2‘s North American release, and gamers are just now finishing their first play-throughs. While some have labeled the game too short, many fail to realize the game actually has multiple endings since it isn’t explicitly stated during the gameplay. In addition, the message “too be continued,” appears during the final moments. This has led some to speculate that the title may be part of a proposed trilogy, but recent comments by director Motomu Toriyama offer a different explanation.
When asked during a group discussion at the Taipei Game Show last week, Toriyama mentioned that in addition to the aforementioned multiple endings, gamers can expect downloadable content to extend their experience. An episode focusing on Lightning’s story is still in the works, and the upcoming Lightning/Amodar Coliseum DLC should be ready soon. Famitsu recently hinted to the possibility of future episodes including Snow and Sazh could be in the works, but Toriyama never verified it. While Toriyama’s statements may lay some of the rumors to rest, it would be fair to point out that he never outright denied that Final Fantasy XIII-3 could happen. Whether or not it does remains to be seen.
