Game Informer: Final Fantasy XIII-3 is inevitable

A couple of weeks ago, we presented some information from Game Informer’s Final Fantasy XIII-2 review. One of Joe Juba’s main criticisms was the story, which was described as “laughable and borderline insulting”.

There’s one other point from the review that we should mention. It seems that the game’s story isn’t entirely complete. We know that XIII-2 will be getting DLC eventually, but apparently that additional content won’t be enough to plug up some of the plot holes. There’s even has a screen at the end of the game that includes the words “to be continued.”

Does this mean that Final Fantasy XIII-3 is on the way? Game Informer believes so.

Juba’s XIII-2 review contained following blurb about another XIII entry:

“To make matters worse, you aren’t even getting a complete story. The canonical ending (there are multiple other ‘what if’ endings) concludes with the words ‘to be continued’ and it’s not a scenario likely to be resolved with future DLC. After the credits, I sat in disbelief, wondering if I had done something wrong or somehow missed the true ending. I didn’t. Square Enix intentionally left the story incomplete. The announcement of Final Fantasy XIII-3 is inevitable.”

If Square Enix does decide to make XIII-3, the domain they registered a few months back could come in handy!
