Back in 2003, Square Enix made a gamble with a title called Final Fantasy X-2. The first direct sequel to any Final Fantasy game (this being Final Fantasy X, starring Tidus Meg Ryan), X-2 took some big risks, and while the game sold well enough, most fans were a little put off by the girly game. Oddly, according to Siliconera, a company called “Corporation Service Company” has registered finalfantasy13-2game.com, which is oddly close to Final Fantasy XIII’s website finalfantasy13game.com. Even more, this company registered domain rights for other SE titles like NIER.
What does this mean? Well, it could mean a few things. Much like that Final Fantasy 0, Final Fantasy XIII-2 could be announced later this month at a SE event in Japan. Final Fantasy XIII-2 could also be the official name for Final Fantasy XIII Versus, the long developed spin-off from Final Fantasy XIII. All in all, it’s fairly odd. Hopefully we can get a confirmation from SE on January 18th, when they’ll be announcing something. Finger’s crossed it’s something good!
