Due out next year, Square Enix is touting this one as the sequel that will close out this chapter on the Final Fantasy Xiii universe.
In the video up top, Final Fantasy producer Yoshinori Kitase makes an apt comparison between the 25-year-old series and crystals of all things--ever-changing yet always maintaining the same shape. Well, according to the official release, this unnumbered sequel is set to include new characters, world, and an all-new storyline featuring Ffxiii heroine Lightning.
Xiii-2 took us all over time and space, so who knows how expansive this new game will be. One interesting note: Square Enix is promising "enhanced" gameplay. According to IGN, from the scant details they were able to pry from the development team, Lightning Returns the titular heroine will be the sole playable character, but that she's have a lot of customization and control options as opposed to the more static party system of the previous games.
