In an interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu (via Andriasang ), FFXIII and XIII-2 director Motomu Toriyama dropped some hints that we may soon be adventuring with Lightning once more.When asked if Final Fantasy XIII would be a focus at the upcoming Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary event, he replied, "The [FFXIII-2] Lightning download content had an ending that left a feeling mystery and hope. The day when the meaning of this will come to light is not too far off." possibility of a third instalment in Lightning's story has been rife since Final Fantasy XIII-2 ended with the words "to be continued", but this was later suggested to refer to DLC . Now though it seems the original idea could be closer to the mark.Thankfully we won't have to wait too long to find out; the anniversary event mentioned by Toriyama is scheduled to take place at an art gallery in Shibuya from August 31.Despite the exciting realms of possibility this opens up, there are some drawbacks. Firstly, while it was never likely the team were going to start work on a Final Fantasy VII remake anytime soon , this pretty much confirms it isn't a priority Secondly, Toriyama had some ominous comments for anyone waiting for the HD remake of Final Fantasy X . It seems a release date is still nowhere near being set, as he explained, "Regarding HD conversions, there is a lot to look into, so please wait a bit more."
