Motomu Toriyama: Fabula Nova Crystallis is not exclusive to PS3 and Mobile

Now, didn't this just came out of the blue? Five new scans from the Australian PlayStation Magazine April issue that feature an English interview with Motomu Toriyama have surfaced. Toriyama mostly talks about Square Enix's main project at the moment, Final Fantasy XIII, but in one of the questions he gave the following answer:

"In fact, the Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII project isn't just limited to three titles - there are many different aspects. In terms of the formats we're reaching, as well, it's not simply exclusive to the PS3 and mobile phones."

Xbox360 RPG fans are going to be happy with this "hint" from Toriyama. Have a good read everyone; these scans are surely a must-see!

XIII and Versus are exclusive, and that's really all that matters.

Auron6219d ago

go wipe your butt with your tongue already.
as I seem to recall FF tactics ruled and it wasn't a true FF nimrod

Shh...

Firewire6219d ago

deeprambler knows! But its ok, like another poster said we get the meat they get the bones! Plus expect a chapter to hit Nintendo as well. But for all the goodness that is FFXIII its all on the PS3 baby!
The other platforms will have to be content with second hand scraps!

DJ6219d ago

considering a title for the Wii. There's just too many Wii-owners in Japan to ignore for the Crystalis project. Expect some original FF content to pop up on Nintendo's platform.

Violater6219d ago (Edited 6219d ago )

Sony boys have lost another exclusive.
Ha take that.
Is it just me or the FF universe has turned into a multi-verse.
Blehhh

Sarcasm meet ErcaYou and CounterACT, ErcaYou and CounterACT meet sarcasm.
Have a nice day guys.
If you cant joke about something u guys seriously need to get a life.

Counter_ACT6219d ago

No, idiot PS3 hasnt LOST anything. FFXIII and Versus are still exclusive, theyre just making other games for other consoles like the compilation of Final Fantasy VII.

The 7 Best Final Fantasy Characters: Unveiling the Legends

While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.

220°

The older it gets, the more I respect Final Fantasy XIII

Alex Donaldson: "Hindsight is a hell of a thing, however, and in the years since Final Fantasy XIII, my respect for the decisions its developers made has skyrocketed. In the two Final Fantasy titles since we see both the brilliance and the folly in alternative approaches - and in Final Fantasy VII Remake, we get a more nuanced understanding of what FF13 was trying to accomplish from many of the same development leads."

Einhander1972125d ago

FFXIII is actually one of the best Final Fantasy games.

I also sort of was disappointed at the time, never as much as the bandwagon. But really all the fantastic 3D rendered cutscenes and I actually liked the characters and the story though convoluted was actually fantastic and the ending was extremely emotional. So much budget and time were put into that game Square had such big plans, I actually have always felt kind of bad for how things played out.

I have been thinking for years how great it would be to get all three games on one disk for PS4 or 5.

Nyxus125d ago

I always liked this game, and I agree, a rerelease for current gen would be nice.

Shane Kim123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

Gotta take off the nostalgia glasses. It's the worst FF. Shiva as a bike, I mean come on.

Elda123d ago

Shiva as a bike is strange but saying FFXIII is the worst FF is not at all a fact, that's simply your opinion.

Terry_B123d ago

*One of the 3 equally bad FF's

DivineHand125123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

When I got my series X a year ago, I bought FF13 for nostalgia reasons but ended up being disappointed. When I first played it around the time it launched, I didn't have a lot of experience with final fantasy games, so I enjoyed it. Fast forward to when I played it again, I found that the game had many unnecessary filler moments instead of just giving us meaningful content.

The game is also very linear and a quote on the article said it best. "It is like a sewage pipe that leads to the ocean until it opens up on Grand Pulse."

The story didn't make much sense either and I believe it is my mistake as I played the FF7 remake on PS5 prior which is a night and day difference in terms of pacing, storytelling and likeable characters even though cloud is aloof.

FinalFantasyFanatic123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

Probably was a mistake to play any of the golden era FFs first (e.g. FF6 through FF10), it makes it harder to enjoy some of the FFs that aren't as good. I think FF12 was where major issues with the series started becoming apparent, and it just got worse from there.

FinalFantasyFanatic123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

I didn't really care for it that much, the only saving grace was that it had a better story than 15 (overall it was better than 15) and possibly 12, and even then, you had to read some of it through primers, like reading a book. Plus the battle system was reasonably fun for what it was, even if it was more the spectacle that was exciting for me (e.g. summoning). And to be fair, the 13 trilogy got better with every games, I still don't like Snow though.

Gamingsince1981123d ago

Ff13 is only good if you haven't played a ff before, or any other games that are decent for that matter.

-Foxtrot123d ago

It is in fact no way the best Final Fantasy game, it's one of the worst

Linear corridors, Cutscene, Fight, Cutscene...rinse and repeat

Dialogue and characters are pretty bad, especially Lightning as the main FF hero, they literally said they tried to make a "Female Cloud" and they failed.

Story was pretty awful

I could go on

I think the only alright thing that came from the game was the music.

Elda122d ago

That's not a fact that's your personal opinion. The game sold 11 million copies between its 2009 release up until 2014 including critically reviewed as an 8 out of 10 or an 80 out of 100. The game does have some issues but it's not at all a fact as one of the worst FF games.

-Foxtrot122d ago

Elda

Not just mine mate

A large majority

So….

Traecy122d ago

N4G commenters such as yourself aren't the majority. The game was well received.

gold_drake125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

i liked the game alot but i didnt like how they handled the terminology.

i dont mind reading data logs but it had soo many.

but i always loved the music and how it looked. the battle system wasnt too bad either.

but i like 13-2 more :)

i still dont understand why we never got a remaster of the trilogy

Eonjay123d ago

Xbox kinda did. Besides the video files of course which are still best on PS3 due to bluray.

Snookies12125d ago

XIII is a pretty solid game, but XIII-2 is WAY better. XIII-2 was one of the few games I decided to go for a Platinum trophy in, early on. Had so much fun the entire way through getting it too!

Eonjay123d ago

Totally agree. FF 13 was okay but 13-2 is my favorite FF game ever.

shinoff2183125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

I hated this to when it released. I haven't much liked a ff game since ff10 as much , aside from ff7remake. I decided to give it another shot on my series x since it's not on a current ps and was liking it quite a bit(just takes me some time to get over things ) until star ocean 2 remake came out I was all over that.

Square should definitely remaster it or something for ps4 ps5

KillerB123d ago

my favorite jrpg trilogy ever
