Light, they literally said in an interview that it was a self-contained story. That is why it is "Lightning Returns" instead of "XIII-3." So that means no sequel. Anyway you would still need to played 13-2 to fully understand what's going on. --- Lightning Returns will surpass 13-2 and become accepted by haters! Official Noctis Lucis Caelum of the XV board.

More like milking the XIII series in general. Light wasn't even playable in XIII-2 (and everyone complained about that). Now that she's the main character again, everyone says they are milking her. Either way people aren't happy. i think some people are disappointed that this series is continuing at this time. you know how final fantasy always starts a new story whether good or bad? it probably did not occur to the people at square enix that maybe the first game was not that bad. sequels do tend to ruin things and really not fix them, so people felt the less need of a sequel. its basically her and this series being milked. me personally if i see another square enix game with lightning in it i might just stop buying their games in general. So you'll might stop buying FF games once she show up in: DLC, Kingdom Hearts, and dissidia 3. Did I get it right? --- Lightning Returns will surpass 13-2 and become accepted by haters!

Anyway you would still need to played 13-2 to fully understand what's going on. no you would not. its called final fantasy. that means a jumbled up mind of a person's fantasy. this game like many agree kind of did not deserve a sequel, and if 13-2 was a good sequel, then it deserved a title of its own. this is part of what some of the fanbase means when they say going back to the old style. new final fantasy titles. square enix should have just moved on from 13, and worked on different titles. as a matter of fact we need to move on. --- http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3aacvZJeK1qb1m9to1_500.gif

Anyway you would still need to played 13-2 to fully understand what's going on. I'm sure it'd help give the game some context, of course. But I doubt they would say the story was self-contained if knowing stuff from XIII-2 was integral. You could take the plot we know so far, where a girl is trying to save souls before the world ends, and make a game independent from XIII with it and have it still make sense. --- http://bln.gs/b/24i7sw

Did I get it right? if i had to stop buying square enix games just because characters from different games showed up i would have stopped long ago. and you definitely misread, as square enix i meant squaresoft, and by them i meant the ff titles. so if i see another mainline ff game with lightning in it, i may just stop caring for their games and taking them serious. dissidia, kh, have nothing to do with, as they arent final fantasy mainline games. dissidia is a fanmade fighting game, and kh just has ff characters in it. for crying out loud man get this lol. --- http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3aacvZJeK1qb1m9to1_500.gif

kirusu Posted 3/7/2013 6:38:39 PM	ExtremeLight posted... You should be more specific next time. Square enix games aren't limited to FF. i would know that. i can school you possibly on many things, and then some other guy can possibly school me. it were many things not released in america when square enix was known for enix singularly and squaresoft. many games other than ff were created during that time. you have a reason to wonder why people are not really caring for this lightning saga. seriously i did not know there was a game made by squaresoft/enix called live-a-live. best of all its gameplay is actually decent, and whats more you can play as different people, but some of the stories are short. --- http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3aacvZJeK1qb1m9to1_500.gif
