Quote:Final Fantasy XIII-2 is slated for release by the end of the year, a rather stunning and potentially fast turn-around for Square Enix. It begs the question if the sequel was planned from the very beginning or if the decision was made after.

Hmmmm, this explains the lack of interesting storyline in the first game, it must all be in this retail price DLC.

*Sigh...* Guess they didn't really talk to the fans if they thought XIII was loved...Let's just see if this really could be better...

I imagine at the start that people were excited for FFXIII. I remember people flipping out about that bus that went around the States, people couldn't wait to get their hands on it.

Somehow I really doubt that, Kitase.

It's amazing how they managed to almost destroy their entire fanbase within a few years. And the funny thing is, a lot of people were still supportive throughout 13's development and post-release despite managing it horribly.

We got the feeling that people loved XIII and that it was very popular," said Kitase.


Oh im sure some people loved it, but how many was that.

You'll be surprised, a lot of younger gamers just getting into Final Fantasy will defend FFXIII to the death, lol.

I still plan on buying XIII-2. I'm avoiding the FF section of the forums like the plague because of all the bloody speculation going on in there (and the high praises for what might be going for the game)...XIII certainly wasn't the best title in the franchise, even though I enjoyed it, and I'm not going in with high expectations Tongue

I can totally agree with that. xD I might not be a younger gamer, but XIII was the first one I've ever completely, so I defend it...somewhat. Others, oh, how I see them defending like it's the best game ever...
