Final Fantasy XIII-2 heads tease new project
Toriyama: "I'd be happy if you could anticipate it."

The Final Fantasy XIII-2 Ultimania Omega book released in Japan today, and contains a new interview with producer Yoshinori Kitase and director Motomu Toriyama, where the pair seem to hint at a new project – perhaps Final Fantasy XIII-3.

Find the blurb below. (Warning: potential spoilers.)

Kitase: (The last part about Lightning’s DLC Episode) Explaining “XXX Years Later” would be pointless. It might seem that the line “To Be Continued…” means that Lightning’s chapter will continue in more download content, but we are doing it in a different interpretation.

Toriyama: With Lightning remaining in the 〇〇〇〇ル (crystal?) but still keeping her heart, you could say that the world of Final Fantasy XIII will be permanently 〇〇ed. I’m praying for the day to come that Lightning will surely 〇〇めて (wake up?) and Serah will be rewarded. Like Lightning advancing one step forward in the secret event, I think we want to take a step forward to advance our own project. From now on, I’d be happy if you could anticipate it.

Thanks, FF-Reunion.

    So has taken the crown for “most comments in single article” on this site yet?

      @RedWolfe: I’m thinking about implementing Disqus, so hopefully future articles will see a lot more!

    Just a note.

    - MaStErChEiFsTeR has been banned for this comment.

    - mateuspradosousa has been banned for blatant, and frankly annoying, trolling.

    Let’s try to keep things mature, guys.

      @Sal Romano: Ah! I was wondering why it got peaceful. awesome work sal.

  • Zero

    So many comments! Why did everyone get so angry all the sudden? I hope it wasn’t my fault, I didn’t star a flame war by accident did I?

    • KingOptimus111

      @Zero:
      No, its not your fault. It was a arguement between MaStErChEiFsTeR and Hinano. I was in it as well but it was just a misunderstanding between me and Hinano.

    • anime10121

      @Zero: No you were fine, you actually brought in a discussion backed up by facts. Nothing you said or did caused or could have prevented this, it happens just about every Final Fantasy article nowadays.

  • Kurai Warrior

    Well I wouldn’t really call this amount of comments an achievement considering 90% of them are just people b*tching at each other. But hey what are you gonna do?

    See SE this is why you should move away from the XIII brand. XD

  • zakou

    Obviously im not going to read all 130 comments but from some that i read it seems that most of you (if not all) lack the knowlage about FFVersusXIII team helping to make FFXIII and few KH games and even FFXIII-2.

    FFVersusXIII was delayed and kept being delayed because of the decisions such as FFXIII and other square enix games that needed the talented team that was working on Versus.

    The stat. “Versus is in Full production is bullshit” and most of you know it is, just as all the DLC being released for XIII-2 and the DLC they worked on before even releasing XIII-2.

    Defend, do whatever you want, trust square enix for it is your choice but remeber one thing, square enix is after Money, not about promises, not about “this game comes first” but about what makes “the fast cash”

    Don’t ever forget that, just as you should never forget Lightning.

      @zakou:
      Bullshit, we know square is after money but FF XIII-2 sucks and didn’t sell any good as FF XIII now lets move on to Versus XIII.
