FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 has been announced. |
![]() |
Scheduled for 2011 on PS3 and Xbox 360. |
![]() |
When would it launch? |
![]() |
The end of 2011 I suppose. |
![]() |
How about this FF13-2? |
![]() |
That's fine? |
![]() |
Be serious please... |

Nowadays, when you develop a game you won't end up with only 1 issue, but use the same program to create sequel so as to earn money and recover the cost. FF13 used too much money so there should be a 2. |

Huh. |
![]() |
There is 1 thing certain though. |
![]() |
And that is? |
![]() |
It's a failure if it can't hit 2.7 million worldwide. |
![]() |
Oh... |
![]() |
What is your reason? |
![]() |
FINAL FANTASY X is an example. |
![]() |
We've got a X-2 huh. |

FF10's worldwide sales was 8 million and 10-2 was 3.6 million, 45% of 10. FF13's worldwide sales was 6 million, 45% is 2.7 million and that should be the target. |
![]() |
I see. |
![]() |
But this figure is not fair. |
![]() |
Why? |
![]() |
Consider Japan only, 10 sold 2.35 million and 10-2 sold 2 million, that's 85%. So in Japan, FF13 sold 1.9 million and 13-2's target should be 1.6 million in Japan. |
![]() |
Quite a difference huh. |
![]() |
Well, the gameplay of 10-2 is special, so it may not be suitable to compare them. Anyway, if 13-2 do better, this means 13 is accepted by gamers. If not, 13 itself is a failure. Or that would be a result of the failure of FF14, the collapse of FINAL FANTASY brand, and people hate SQUARE ENIX itself. |
![]() |
How would be the result? |
![]() |
Who knows. |
