There is a Wha? Since When?

I cannot say for certain, but I feel as if I have been asleep for a decade and awoke to some unsettling news.  I guess I should not be as surprised as I am to discover that there is a 3rd game in the Final Fantasy XIII series that ISN'T FFXIIIVersus.  But...why?  I had heard nothing of this title (not that i was looking very deep into the information) and yet even now knowing that there is an impending conclusion to the FFXIII trilogy, I still cannot possibly imagine them finishing the game before Versus.  I mean, I want that god damned game way more than I want to see what happens to Lightning.  I get it, Lightning is hot, and probably the only damn reason half of the players stuck it out in FFXIII in the first place...and probably the same reason those people didn't stick it out for FFXIII-2.  But just because she is the focus on this title doesn't mean that it'll be any better.  But then...what will this game be like anyway?  All I have to go off of for now is this trailer.

What Awaits Us?

Do you guys see the article last week on FFXIII-V? The rumor mill was churning out copious amounts of NO for the future release of Final Fantasy XIII Versus. This was concerning to me to say the least since I sat through that unrelenting shitstorm that was FFXIII and it's sequel with open arms in anticipation for this follow up title. It was first revealed as a sister title to the original FFXIII. So you can imagine the surprise I had when I was told it was canceled. I mean I can understand that there might be some money issues when we look at the smashing success of FFXIV. God that game was a piece of shit. Well worry not, the rumors were just that as it were.
