The future of Final Fantasy XIII

Just a fun little topic I thought up. I want to know what ideas for the XIII Series would be cool. such as storyline elements for XIII-3, characters to add, spin offs of XIII and stuff like that.

I'll start us off.

Final Fantasy XIII-3: Think it should deal with fighting the chaos of Valhalla that was released and putting a final end to Caius Ballad. I think it would be awesome if Storm was put in as he's added quite a bit of backstory and cool stuff to XIII without breaking the lore of the game. Not much more I can think of here... Other than MAKE LIGHTNING PLAYABLE AGAIN!!!! ONLY reason I was a little saddened by XIII-2, as awesome as it was.

Final Fantasy XIII Third-Person Shooter: I think a cover based third-person shooter, kind of like Mass Effect 3 would be pretty awesome!

SINGLEPLAYER: You play as Lightning and use the gunblade to kill things behind cover and you have technology such as the Grav-con unit, Grenades, and other cool stuff. You'd also have access to magic and when you get close enough you push a button to switch the gunblade to sword mode and start hacking away at anything in your path. Lightning can use gil to purchase new gunblades, and find or buy materials to upgrade or create new rare ones. You can also spend CP in the crystarium to level up her stats and gain new abilities.

MULTIPLAYER: The game could also have a 4-Player Co-Op survival mode and 12-16-Player Multiplayer with familiar modes such as Free for All, Team Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, Control Points, and other fun game modes that are unique and no other game has made before. The Singleplayer elements of customization would appear in Multiplayer. You earn Gil to buy and upgrade weapons and equipment and you earn CP to level up and gain better stats, spells, and perks. The character could use the obtained CP to level up any of six Paradigms and pick that paradigm before they spawn, the paradigm they pick would basically be their class and they would keep familiar roles you expect from XIII.

Spoiler:

Each of the above Paradigms can be leveled up just like in XIII and XIII-2

I would totally buy the FFXIIITPS if that was ever made, that would be an awesome game and best of all you could play it with friends and it would be Final Fantasy! Although I love anything FFXIII and would buy any XIII game anyways... Lightning's just awesome. Tell me what cool game ideas you can come up with and comment on each others ideas. I'd like to see what you can think up! Have fun!

uh but i like final fantasy as it is i mean sounds kinda like other games like Assassians creed for purchasing and other games i think the way FF is set up is the way you can separate ff from the rest of the games although it does sound fun

Yeah same here, that's why I think it would be an interesting spin off game, the main games should not be altered too much. Still would be lots of fun as you could play with friends!

ya

Kind of like what Square did with FF7: Dirge of Cerberus.

ah i see
