Final Fantasy XIII-2 Announced

18 Jan 2011 by Nightmare
Today at the Square Enix's 1st Production Department Premier event in Roppongi, Square Enix announced a direct sequel to Final Fantasy XIII. The game will be available for both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 users. It is supposed to be released in 2011 throughout the world because apparently there will be another fast localization.

A short trailer was shown at the event. It starts off with the ending of Final Fantasy XIII, so skip the first part if you don't want to see any spoilers. Then it proceeds by showing Lightning clad in knight's armor. She is back to back with a male figure who is rumored to be her rival.



Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be directed by Motomu Toriyama as well. He stated that "The previous title topped the six million mark worldwide last December". This only means that Square Enix considers Final Fantasy XIII as a success, especially in Japan.
