Square Enix hasn’t even gotten Final Fantasy XIII-2 out the door, and yet it appears they’re still planning for the future of Final Fantasy XIII , which has somehow managed to become its own franchise, apparently.
The publisher registered a domain name for yet another sequel, Final Fantasy XIII-3 , late yesterday evening. The company registered the domain finalfantasyxiii-3.com by way of Corporation Service Company (CSC), a registrar that provides trademark services to various corporations, such as Square Enix, around the world.
While the domain registration by no means confirms that Final Fantasy XIII is getting another sequel, it does at least suggest there’s a possibility. It should also be noted that Square Enix did the same thing – through the same registrar, no less – with Final Fantasy XIII-2 , which obviously panned out.
Assuming that they are gearing up for another sequel, I have to question just what in the world Square Enix is doing here. They’ve got Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Final Fantasy Type-0 (possibly) coming out next year. Meanwhile, fans have been waiting for Final Fantasy Versus XIII for what feels like forever , and there is no sign of that wait getting any shorter anytime soon. They have a lot on their plate, and I can’t imagine why they’d want to add any more onto it.
Let’s just hope that they commit to finishing up Final Fantasy Versus XIII before they move onto another sequel.
