What's this? Final Fantasy Melody XIII for PS3 at TGS? No wai...

With this bit of info, some people might think that maybe Square Enix has bitten off more than it could chew on the Rumor Pie. Either that, or everyone's just shoving down the Rumor Pie at Squeenix's throat too much. What with Kingdom Hearts rumors, FFVII-remake rumors, and that harsh FFVIII-2 rumor, it gets tiring to catch up as it is. And just yesterday, a Korean website revealed the logo of what seems to be yet another installment in the Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII project.

We're fresh out of ideas on this one. Speculate as you will. It could be photoshopped fan art, or it could be an actual concept artwork for an unannounced title. Ruliweb, the website that posted this mysterious picture, speculates that this "Final Fantasy Melody XIII" is to be revealed during next week's TGS and that it could be a PS3 title.

We checked online to see what other people say, and popular opinion holds that this could be, quite simply, the cover of FFXIII's soundtrack album. Now if there's only one thing we can bank on, it's the Tokyo Game Show. All of these rumors seem to have the TGS at its center - claiming that everything will finally be explained, revealed, debunked, or at least commented on during that trade show. For now, we've only just a couple of days to wait. Le sigh.

For those wondering, the Fabula Nova Crystallis project is composed of Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII for the PS3, and Final Fantasy Agito XIII for the mobile phone platform.

# FFVIII-2?thos — The Frenchman 2007-09-16 08:20

e reports back to 2001 and 2004.... I haven't heard of the FFVIII sequel in ages.

# surely the soundtrack — platon 2007-09-16 08:33

But anyway, TGS will surely be hot!

@The Frenchman:

1st: I never heard of FF8-2 me too :S

2nd: if you're french for real, Then "nous sommes cousins car je viens du Québec", lol.

# uhh — hush404 2007-09-16 08:52

I'm betting it's the soundtrack/score.

# Hmmm — NayusDante 2007-09-16 09:07

Looks shooped to me. I wasn't aware that Amano-style work was being done for anything other than the monochromatic title images. That's definitely an illustration.

# Yeah most likely the soundtrack... — The Frenchman 2007-09-16 10:22

Melody... says it all.

BTW I'm French only by language, J'suis du Québec aussi.

# Hmm — Naroon Kasui 2007-09-16 13:58

Either it's the name for the soundtrack, or just a FF13-themed Dance Dance Revolution game.

# "monochromatic title images" — platon 2007-09-16 15:13

What are you talking about, the final fantasies logos are not monochromatic at all, you can see yellow to red in the FF8 logo and blue-to-purple-to-yellow on the FFX logo, etc. So it's completly false to say that Yo*****aka Amano do only monochromatic images. PS: monochromatic means one single color...

Anyway, I still suppose it's the soundtrack.

ps: sorry if I look arrogant and stupid, but I become all worked-up when I see things I consider false, sorry.

n1, nice idea.. xD paha im laughing mah ass off.

# @platon — Guest 2007-09-17 06:38

yup. as The Frenchman said above, the ffvii-2 rumor has been around for quite some time now. just go to google and type FFVII-2 RINOA. look for a scan. ^_^ however, some of my own friends told me that it's nothing but fan art used in a malaysian(?) magazine.
