According to an article at IGN (with info taken from the same Nintendo Dream interview as our Square Enix Virtual Console story), Square Enix wants "everyone to be sucked into the world [of Final Fantasy XIII] for 10 years." Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto stated they have designed the world and story of FFXIII, or Fabula Nova Crystallis, to be similar to the approach of Star Wars, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings -- an epic franchise unto itself.

:lol

They're just trying their hardest to postpone the inevitable Final Fantasy XXX.

Summons transform into motorcycles for 10 years worth of games! Hopefully the novelty wont wear off...

IX (and XII too!) was totally awesome, ignore the haters.

XII has bullshit gameplay with a meh story but awesome characters. IX was too fucking slow on PSOne, maybe if they re-released it without the dumb slow loading battles id like it more.

9 was pretty tedious and suffered from some slow-ass battles. 10 and 10-2 have hateful characters and are almost painfully linear, and I'd rather not think too deeply about what went wrong with 12, although putting bad MMORPG gameplay into the series is possibly the worst idea since Vivi x Quina erotic fanfic.

That sounds like a pretty damn stupid idea.

Ha, FFXIII-XIII in 2015 confirmed. Square Enix is dead...I guess Mistwalker needs to step up and takes its place.
