Final Fantasy XIII to last 10 years?

May 11, 2007, 6:58 PM

My brother and I were just Googling some information on Dissidia and Final Fantasy IV when we came accross this.

I know I probably won't enjoys this as I liked it as 1 title then move on to the next world, characters, story but I hate it when they started doing spin offs and now SE seem set to be doing spin offs of each title with plenty to come from FFXIII. Anyway, the main point is:

a.) Wouldn't this just not drag FFXIII too long?

b.) Will we really be waiting 10 years for FFXIV? During that time (and I am going by Japanese release dates) they released FFIII-IX. Some of which are great but we may have to wait 10 years for another after FFXIII.

I'm not liking the sound of this that's for sure.

yeah judging by previous ff games when they make spin offs the origional games start to decline

even classics like 7 are losing popularity

Interesting... Though the way the graphics and consoles are constantly pushed through the years its highly doubtfull that they would not release anymore FF in the series for ten years.From a business prospective it would be suicide. Man that would suck. Hey at least my grand-kids could play FFXIV right?

No, they will be releasing FF games during the 10 years but what it is saying is that the Fabula Nova Crystallis is to last 10 years with more titles than the 3 that have already been announced. There will be new FF games released but it will be part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis.

Ohhhh...hmm whats a Fabula? Is that short for faboulus or something. The whole title "Fabula Nova Crystallis" sounds french. Kinda wierd

I think they are just focusing on making a much more in depth and encompassing experience -- that's why they plan on making six games in the FFXIII series. Don't look at them as spin offs. A spin off denotes that it comes from a main entity wheres FFXIII is being designed in multiple pieces from the beginning. So the main game is actually six games whereas the main FFVIII game is only one plus the spin offs you mention.

Well I think it will won't do any bad for the series because, unlike VII, Square Enix have thought about this from the start (from the ground up). This means that it isn't an afterthought a la Advent Children, DOC etc. which will mean that the compilation will be given the same effort as the each other. I think one of them will be an animated film as well, which will be quite amazing I think.

10 years, eh? I guess it would be okay. I heard this is their last FF game also. They should end it with a bang!
