Final Fantasy XIII's producer and director were interviewed at the French launch event on Tuesday by WriteAboutGames. During the interview, Kitase and Toriyama were quizzed on whether they would like to see a direct sequel to FFXIII. "That depends on how well the game sells in the West!" After being pressed further they share their thoughts.

"In the past three years we worked both on the world and on the various systems. Creating these systems isn’t very glamorous and can frankly be a bit boring. If we could do a XIII-2, we could direct all our attention to the story and refine what we have already built."

It isn't shocking when you look at the companies recent track record. Square Enix has been focused on creating direct sequels to Final Fantasy titles ever since the merger. After FFX-2 there was the Final Fantasy VII compilation and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. This could end up being one of the unannounced Fabula Nova Crystallis titles.
