Final Fantasy XIII Announced At E3

Thought it's not terribly surprising, it's nice to hear. Final Fantasy XIII has been announced for the PlayStation 3. It actually sounds like there will be three separate titles: A traditional RPG, a mobile game, and a 'versus' title. From the article: "FINAL FANTASY XIII. They pulled a serious bait-and-switch on us. Sword-and-gun-wielding heroine who looks like Yuna, flipping her way around a high-tech, futuristic world ... Motomu Toriyama will direct the game. And apparently FFXIII isn't the only game coming out of this universe--there's a, uh, mobile game too. Oh. It's Final Fantasy Agito XIII ... Final Fantasy Versus XIII?" Additional announcements include a new Crystal Chronicles and Dragon Quest for the Wii, and a Final Fantasy VII universe title for the PSP.

Thirteen?

What happened to the "There will only be Twelve" statement?

don't forget about FFXII

XIII could be exciting, but everyone in the US should be very excited about FFXII coming to these shores later this year. I have imported the Japanese version and it is one of the greatest games in the FF series. As an aside, I have played FF games since the first on the NES and, like many gamers, I was not very enthusiastic about the FFXII demo disc that was released here last November. Forget that. XII is a great game and you have a lot to look forward to.
