2. The fall of Cocoon
3. The new characters

There are many possible reasons why Square Enix decided to give Final Fantasy XIII a direct sequel, but according to Motomu Toriyama, it's because a lot of fans all over the world wanted it. So now we have Lightning in a new look, battles a man described to be her rival, and goes further into the game's story. The game director goes deeper into that.

If you'd recall, Final Fantasy XIII Ultimate Hits International also came with Final Fantasy XIII Episode i, a short epilogue that tells the story of what happened after the events in the game. There, the characters move back into their regular non-L'Cie lives, and ends with Lightning exploring a darker world.

 

This, according to Toriyama, serves as a prequel to Final Fantasy XIII-2.

maybe sazh will be riding his pet chocobo now?

i'm also pretty psyched about the new travel system and the world full of people. i really hope it's a lot less linear this time

And I still hate the new look they gave lightning. Doesn't make sense whatsoever.

ライトのイメチェンは許せないん
こんな恰好にすると、彼女はもう ライトじゃないんだ

Motomu Toryiama is the Uwe Boll of the gaming industry...I wonder if I can find a petition against his career too.

Fans "wanted" a sequel to FFXIII but there's still no Chrono in the pipeline? SE is really out of touch with their fans.

"it's because a lot of fans all over the world wanted it. "

I think he wanted to say:

It's because a lot of fans all over the world didn't appreciated it well. sales didn't meet expectations. so we needed to milk it more.

that is not even the definition of milking? Milking is when something is VERY successful (IE: FFVII). This is not milking, if anything, it is trying to fix all the problems of the first game to give fans a better impression.

they could have just made another game altogether rather than use XIII's bad name

now fan(boy/girl)s are still rabidly bitching about a FFVII remake. soooo yeah, there is no excuse for this

The real reason they're making a sequel is because it's cheaper than making a brand new game. They already have all the resources from the last game and a story to build on. It's all about the money.

Everything is sounding like a real Final Fantasy except that we still dont know about the battle system which I hope they go back to the old times Turn Based Active system. And not just a generic action adventure system like FF crisis core or FFXII.

Would the story be good? 13 had a very cheesy story.

a spinoff/sequel off a game with a crappy story will turn out good

God I hope it's a open world game like the old final fantasy!

Its funny how fast they'll be pulling in this game.

The length of time needed the last time definitely has something to do with the 360 version.
