Toriyama: "I'd Like a Story Where Lightning Ends Up Happy"

Lightning is not a great character, shes a hormonal mess, and completely unreleastic, and talks too much garbage, never want to see that trash cast agian.

I want a story that doesnt suck

I remember when there was one main Final Fantasy release and that story was it. Doing remakes I'm okay with, but XIII had a terrible story to begin with, it doesn't need to keep going. Versus XIII shouldn't be called Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Same with Agito XIII.

I'd like a (recent) Final Fantasy game where I was happy at the end!

Don't worry. I'll make her happy.

@NoobSlayer92, thanks, fixed it.

Once they complete Versus XIII, then I will gladly accept a FFXIII-2. I had a great time with that one; my second favorite, aside from VI. Despite what some view as weak characters, it brought in some fan favorites like Fang, Sazh, and Lightning.

"they'll make preparations for DLC and online elements from the very start, to prevent this frm happening again." You spelled "from" wrong man. OT: F*ck a sequel. I just want Versus and for you and Wada to resign. I'm gonna write that down in my wish list for Santa.

Yes I would love to see a sequel. Lightning is a great character, it's too bad the game just doesn't have enough exploring, mini-games or side missions. Change the game a bit with the gameplay = Add more freedom to the game. Make it so gamers can explore the beauty of Final Fantasy XIII. Allow people to go back and have more interaction. - Add mini-games to change the pace of things. - Side quests/missions keep people preoccupied so they can enjoy a different side of things. Love to see a sequel. Biggest mistake was making it so straight forward!

Seriously, Fan reaction? So what happened to the fan reaction on an FFVII remake tell me that S-E? S-E is full of bs

Real Translation - Our one button mess worked perfectly sales wise and fanboy are buying it no matter how crap or linear the game is built. We'll milk out another crap game and just add new (FEW) amount (about 10) of fancy looking creature in the game and spam it all over each area with our intelligent use of different colors then hype this shit like its the best RPG ever!. It can't go wrong when our customer dont get tire of looking at the same peanut from chapter 1 to the last chapter.

Why? ff13 is overrated. Worst ff game.

Lmao I thought the title meant "Akira Toriyama" AKA the god of manga and anime. But seriously, give us FFvXIII first Square. Stop working on 50 projects without a promise of releasing them in the foreseeable future.

@think-man can't handle realistic dialogue with a hint of cheesiness? Go play CoD, Halo, and God of War in all their glorious one-liners.

Again Xbox limits final fantasy.. Seriously Square... You fucked up majorly, and ignoring that major fuck up; I wouldn't mind seeing another Final Fantasy XIII game. Though I've pretty much given up on the series since the last gen games. They need to make a great game to get me into it again.

There's no such thing true best games,.... And in my personal opinion, XIII is my 2nd fave FF.

Please don't make a sqeual!!!!!!!!!!! I can't stand to see any of those characters again and think if I heard hope or snow talk again id prolly kill some1

Just give me Versus ^^

I liked it! I would be happy with a sequel!

MAKE IT!!!

@Hepheastos, I'm the author, and Dragonball is one of my favourite things of all time. But to be honest, I assumed that nobody would make the mistake that Akira Toriyama would be involved with FF13 in any way when the producer of the game is also called Toriyama. The very first words of the article even say that it is not Akira Toriyama. I think you're overreacting.

What's everybodys problem with Final Fantasy 13 ? Of course it does not belong to the best Final Fantasys. But it is not that bad.

Just focus on FFXV and make it a better game than XIII.

F*** this game. i just wish they fire you Toriyama!!!!!!

rutea7, i hope that the FNC takes up so much of their time, that they are forced to give FF15 to more compitent developers, its the best possible scenerio if they make FF13-2. people who like FF13 get their sequel, while we get a new FF (hopefully).

Misleading title.... "Toriyama" = Akira Toriyama, who besides being the author of the most sucessful manga/anime, is also the art design behind games such as the DQ series, Blue dragon or crono trigger.... so pretty important in the gaming world too. Basically it's just as if you said "Miyamoto" to talk about some random sound editor on a game, especially because Tori is not a far fetch for writting a VG story.

I hate everyone in the game besides Sazh and Snow. Sequel!!? No thanks! :(

Other 3rd party developers/publishers seems to manage making DLC for both platforms just fine. pretty lame excuse.

Love it or hate it, think the game is terrible or good, they're going to keep making the things until the customers stop buying. So, expect a lot more games based on or stemming from XIII until people finally decide to stop buying if they don't like the way something is working.

like A203D said, at least this would keep them busy so they dont touch ff15. give ff15 to someome competent.

F**k ff13 the most forgettable FF game i have played

The differences between Live and PSN that he is talking about is most likely the fact that anything that developers want to put on Live basically has to have a fee where as developers are allowed to add as many free updates as they want on PSN. Sadly updates are seen by Microsoft as just another way to squeeze more money out of everyone involved.

It would be fantastic if Lightning died in the end. She was so forgettable in 13. I literally liked everyone over her. Even disgusting Fang, barf.

I'd like that FFXIII never existed

i don't want another FFXIII,thank you

Toriyama & Kitase = Aonuma

Supprises theres so many people who dont want this, imo i dont want another game about Lightning's hormones, but as long as Toriyama and Kitase are working on this it means its less likely FF15 will be theres, which is a great result!!

...define "happy"

Lol haters. I really hope they make a sequel, but don't make it all weird like X-2, I mean, I liked X-2, but the whole "Hey look at me, I was a summoner and now I'm a gunslinger in hotpants" was weird, and the dress spheres... why dresses? Why not just change weapons or something? Whatever, I still really hope they make a sequel to XIII, I'd like to see more of the story.

no thanks

Toriyama, we don't want any more stories from you; you're a hamfisted writer at best

Final Fantasy XIII-2? Fine with me, if theyre not screwing it up like XIII itself.

spoiler alert : at ending Lightning will be happy...

Differences between PSN and Xbox Live? What? Does he mean the memory limit that Xbox Live has? If so... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
