If you play the Lightning DLC episode for XIII-2, they pretty much set up where the story is going at the very end of it.
And technically, Final Fantasy XIII did have a happy ending. And then the internet complained about faults in the game, and so they decided to make it up to the fans with a sequel that addressed those issues. But in order to do it, the story overwrote the first game's ending.
The fates of two characters weren't so happy, and I'd bet anything they're a lot happier at the end of 13-3. I don't mind that they did 13-2, but I just can't imagine there's any interesting stories left to tell in this universe.
@Demoskinos: Exactly! It was great. Now I have to edit my stupid list.
Granted, there were some sacrifices made at the end of FFXIII, but the primary goals that the characters had set out to achieve were achieved.
All that I can glean from this new project is that it's set sometime after Lightning awakens from crystal stasis and sets out on another journey for some purpose. What the journey is or what it entails, much less who else is involved, remains to be seen. And it's not assured that XIII-3 will be an entirely happy ending. I have a hard time seeing how some of the things that have been done could be easily undone without a queen mother of a deus ex machina.
Yes, and a queen mother of a deus ex machina is basically exactly what I expect. Though to be fair, I am making a lot of assumptions. Maybe this game will be awesome, and I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, however my gut reaction is that they should've just ended it with 13-2 and gone on to something new.
