Final Fantasy XIII-2 might not be the last we see of Lightning and pals, according to US magazine Game Informer.
*Obligatory spoiler warning*
In its review of Square-Enix’s latest, Game Informer claims that the game concludes with a teasing “to be continued” screen.
Speaking about the finale, the mag writes:
“You aren’t even getting a complete story. The canonical ending (there are multiple other ‘what if’ endings) concludes with the words ‘to be continued’.
“After the credits, I sat in disbelief, wondering if I had done something wrong or somehow missed the true ending. I didn’t. Square Enix intentionally left the story incomplete. The announcement of Final Fantasy XIII-3 is inevitable.”
Square Enix has previously announced downloadable content for the title, which suggests that the cliff-hanger could be resolved by future DLC. However, GI claims that the ending is “not a scenario likely to be resolved with future DLC.”

I’ve given up on FF now. I own every numbered release upto XIII with the exception of XI and can remember when the story telling was so good that they didn’t need a sequel to finsih off someone’s story. They have turned this into a cash cow.

What a joke Square Enix has become

Why do you think Square is a joke? I’m just curious. I personally think that they are alright but are close to being a shell of their former self. :S

I think it might be some sort of good luck charm with them now, i remember hearing that when they made the first FF they named it that because they thought that it would be the last game they made before going out of buissness, but then they didnt so they kept making them, mabay they think if they stop then the luck well will run dry and they will go bust D:

Yeah, and COD is regarded as one of the best FPS’s currently out there, yet that is being milked for what its worst.
There’s no defending against what I’m saying. The game has been going on for years, its on most (all?) platforms, the story seems to be all over the place (I feel sorry for any new fan wanting to try the FF series out) and now they’re having to call one of their games XIII-II…

Oops, ignore this. It was meant as a reply.

Lol You can play FF series at ANY point. They are not supposed to be linked. IMO It is called FINAL Fantasy because each game has an underlying END OF THE WORLD scenario – so they don’t have to make sense. Only X, XII and XIII have sequels. Excluding Crystal Chronicles and Tactics games.

Dont forget IV/VII have sequals.

XII has a sequel? Oh, the DS game. Forgot about that! :)
