Today on Headline RePLAY: The future holds more Final Fantasy XIII, Arc System Works
opens up a mystery site for a mystery title and what video games need to do to
survive.
Square-Enix is not done with Final Fantasy XII quite yet, despite the end of downloadable
content released for XIII-2.
“The [FFXIII-2] Lightning download content had an
ending that left a feeling [of] mystery and hope,” Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2 director Motomu Toriyama told
Famitsu in an interview during the recent Taipei Game Developers Conference.
When asked about the upcoming Final Fantasy 25th
Anniversary Event in relation to XIII,
he replied, “The day when the meaning of this will come to light is not too far
off.”

The video game industry will “die” if it doesn’t
innovate and offer “deeper things,” says David Cage, the creator of Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls.
“It’s about emotion. It’s about trying something
different,” Cage told GamesIndustry International. “I mean this industry will
die if it doesn’t try more to be innovative and to come up with new ideas and
talk a bit more—not necessarily serious, but deeper things at some point.
“It’s great that you can shoot at monsters,” he
continued, “and that’s great and it always be there and it always be
successful, but at the same time, what about giving the choice to people? Give
them different options. So if they like that they find it, but if they want something
deeper and interactive, they can find it too.”
Cage believes that games like Journey are necessary in an industry saturated with shooters. “But
I think the industry needs more games like Journey
because it’s a breath of fresh air; this is necessary in any medium.”
