‘Final Fantasy XIII’ Teaser Site To Announce The Next Chapter Of ‘Lightning’s’ Story

Final Fantasy sequels used to be non-existent. But after X-2 set the wheels in motion, each major entry in the series has had one, with some of the retro ones getting updates for good measure. Most recently, Final Fantasy XIII-2 attempted to rectify many of the problems gamers had with the first game in the series while expanding on the story of Lightning and her friends. While the ending of the second go around left little doubt in anyone’s mind, it seems as if another sequel is on the way.

A new teaser site is promising an announcement regarding Lightning’s future to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the legendary series. Below are the details listed on the site:

FINAL FANTASY XIII TEAM TO PRESENT NEW DIRECTION FOR THE SAGA OF KEY CHARACTER, LIGHTNING

The “Lightning Saga” that started with the release of FINAL FANTASY XIII, has achieved a cumulative shipment of over 9.6 million units; and in May 2012 FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 was brought to conclusion with the add-on content entitled “Lightning’s Story: Requiem of the Goddess”.

Key members of the FINAL FANTASY XIII development team including the Producer, Director and Art Director, are in preparations to present new information about the direction of Lightning’s story. This presentation will take place at an event in Tokyo to celebrate FINAL FANTASY 25th Anniversary, on 1st September 2012.

While it’s no surprise a sequel is coming like I mentioned, I wasn’t the biggest fan of XIII. While XIII-2 made improvements, at this point I feel like Squeenix is treating XIII like that popular radio song that you can’t stand. They’ll just keep shoving it out there over and over again until it catches on. And where the hell is Versus XIII?

Check back here on September 1st for all the juicy details on Lightning’s future. Whatever it may be.
