Games Thirst – Amazing Life
Not being able to deliver Final Fantasy Versus XIII to PS3, a failed promise of over 6 years, Square-Enix, it seems, is already working on a followup to the game now being called Final Fantasy XV, a game that will include “versus” in its subtitle.
In a conversation with Famitsu.com, Final Fantasy XV game designer Tetsuya Nomura acknowledged that the trailer did say, “the world has changed”, which provided an appropriate segue for the game’s title change. (Originally, Final Fantasy XV was titled Final Fantasy Versus XIII.)
“The story and the characters have not changed from the onset,” Nomura said. Nomura also confirmed that the action RPG gameplay apparently hasn’t changed from the original plans.
Nomura added:
“However, in the trailer, there’s a line of narration that reads, ‘A World of the VERSUS Epic’, suggesting that Final Fantasy XVushers in one climax of a planned, continuous story.”
While in the conversation, Famitsu said it sounds like there’s the possibility of a sequel of sorts to which Nomura replied, “If you make something this dense, it becomes an extraordinarily grand thing. There was an idea to drop the sheer volume and the density, but, in that situation, desired elements undoubtedly die, too.”
Continuing, Nomura added, “That’s why, I’m thinking in my mind of completing a successive work.”
So not a complete confirmation, but definitely hints that a sequel may be on the horizon, after Final Fantasy XV is finally released.
