The developers working on the Japanese role-playing game Final Fantasy XIII-2 have said that a cryptic message that players get when finishing the main story of the title is not a sign that they are working on yet another sequel set in the same game universe.
Game Director Motomu Toriyama, who works on the game for publisher
Square Enix, has been asked about the “To Be Continued” message at the end of the game at the Taipei Game Show. He stated that fans of the series should not take it as an indication that the development team was actively working on a sequel.
The developer says that the message means two things: there are a lot of secret Paradox endings that gamers can see if they play Final Fantasy XIII-2 the right way and the development team plans to release more downloadable content in order to extend the game experience.
Toriyama refused to confirm whether the team working on Final Fantasy was involved with anything more than DLC for the current game and said that, at the moment, their main concern was making sure that the upcoming Lightning-powered story chapter was the best it could be.
Square Enix has promised that players will get a lot of classic bosses from the history of the series that can be engaged via the Coliseum and might then become available for recruitment in the player’s party.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 was created in order to address player complains about the core release in this generation of the long-running series. But since it was launched in Japan, the game failed to impress when it comes to sales.
Square Enix has not yet announced whether it plans to create a Final Fantasy XV series and continues to launch patches to solve the issues that players have with the MMO Final Fantasy XIV.
