Final Fantasy XIII Announced At E3

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the shocking dept.

Thought it's not terribly surprising, it's nice to hear. Final Fantasy XIII has been announced for the PlayStation 3. It actually sounds like there will be three separate titles: A traditional RPG, a mobile game, and a 'versus' title. From the article: "FINAL FANTASY XIII. They pulled a serious bait-and-switch on us. Sword-and-gun-wielding heroine who looks like Yuna, flipping her way around a high-tech, futuristic world ... Motomu Toriyama will direct the game. And apparently FFXIII isn't the only game coming out of this universe--there's a, uh, mobile game too. Oh. It's Final Fantasy Agito XIII ... Final Fantasy Versus XIII?" Additional announcements include a new Crystal Chronicles and Dragon Quest for the Wii, and a Final Fantasy VII universe title for the PSP.

    Does anyone else feel a little ripped off every time they buy a new sequel to a game called "final fantasy"?

      Interesting you say you don't expect a sequel then say you only ever bought the one that had an actual sequel.

    For coherence in the future, they should switch to scientific notation now so people don't get confused.

    Not Final Fantasy XIII.

    Final Fantasy 1.3x10^1!

    It's bound to be more efficient in the long run.

    Here's the latest rumor from E3. Apparently Crystal Chronicles 2 will require 8 Gameboy DSs, since each player will have to use a touch screen in each hand. In addition, it will require the purchase of a Wii to DS connector, along with a dual DS to Wii to DS connector.
