All Articles: Final Fantasy XIII-2

UPDATE: Square Enix has pulled the trailer, but it’ll be officially unveiled on January 20th.

After it’s reveal early this morning in Tokyo, Square Enix has officially announced Final Fantasy XIII-2 for North America and Europe as well.

Coming to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 “next winter” (presumably sometime early in 2012), the game’s official website is now live and it includes a single screenshot of Lightning with a very big sword.

Further details are pretty hard to come by, but Square Enix did promise that the game will feature a brand new story and an “evolved” battle system. They’ve also revealed that the game’s first trailer will be available at the official website on the 20th, but it’s already been posted to YouTube, and you can check it out after the break. (more…)

Even though we know little about the other games in the so-called Fabula Nova Crystallis project, it seems Square-Enix is moving forward with yet another game in the series – a sequel to the polarizing Final Fantasy XIII. According to this tweet, Square’s usual domain registrar acquired “FinalFantasy13-2Game.com” in recent days, signaling that a sequel is potentially in the works.

Of course, this could be domain squatting to keep others from purchasing the domain – you know, just in case! – but given what’s been said about cut content, and a likely need to add some more Yen to the Square-Enix coffers (FFXIII was in development for ages as you might be aware), it’s not out of the question that a direct sequel is on its way.
