Final Fantasy XIII – team talks cancelled DLC, possible sequel

[Chaos Raiden]

This is for you, Meg.

As was done with other Final Fantasy titles, Final Fantasy XIII recently received its own ‘Ultimania Omega’ book in Japan. The book contains interviews and behind-the-scenes discussions with the development team, revealing interesting new details.

The team had planned downloadable content, titled ‘Seventh Ark’, for Final Fantasy XIII. Originally, the downloadable content was intended to be included in the full game, but it was taken out after the team’s hectic development schedule caught up to them. The area would’ve been accessible through the third warp gate in Orphan’s Cradle. Although, after technical problems reared their ugly heads, including those involved with PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360’s different download platforms, the team cancelled the project. On top of that, the team did not believe the content would live up to expectations. The book contains two screenshots showing the a work-in-progress version of the cancelled location.

Also in the book: producer Yoshinori Kitase touched upon a Final Fantasy XIII sequel, as well. He said that if there’s demand, it could very well happen. For now, though, the team has moved onto their next project. Kitase wants them to steadily be able to release a new game every two years.

Thanks, GAF.

I for one, demands a sequel for Final Fantasy XIII.

P.S. - Meg, your fan fiction also have similar name with the planned DLC name, which is Seventh Eidolon. Coincidence, maybe? ^_^

This, exckuding the tight hug and Rep+ to Meg aswell for the awesome reply.

 

[Meg]

^ Did you expect any less from me? XD

 

[aka958]

^As a matter of fact, I did not.

Seeing you had replied in that thread made it even more important to read. xP

 

[Meg]

Oh haha!

I like how CM didn't stick around for my reply. He probably went to find a fangirl explosion shield. XD

But it was true.

I think you're past fangirl explosions made his shield break. He is looking for a new one probably. An enhanced one to handle you're explosions of epic proportions, but I think he will have a hard time looking since they are scarce.

 

[Meg]

^ I figured it was true. I was just laughing cause it was funny. *hugs* All better?

Not only did I break his shield, but the sheer force probably blasted him all the way to the moon.

Found this on IGN. Sounds to me like a squeal is a real possibility.

I like this thread - it made me smile! And yay I'd love a sequel. Life just isn't the same without a Final Fantasy game taking over my life!

 

[Meg]

^ You can always go for platinum like me while you wait.

 

[Ebony]

Ok, I'm gonna look reallysrupid here, but what the hell, what do you mean by platinum? >_<

 

[Meg]

^ Platinum trophy/Achievements depending on what system you have.

 

[Ebony]

Oh I see thanks. I might go back to it and do a few. As everyone can see by my gamertags I'm not very good at getting loads of achievements!
