Apparently three separate games weren’t enough to tell the entire story of Final Fantasy XIII. Square Enix is releasing a short story in the weekly Famitsu in a span of three weeks.
Kotaku reports that “Final Fantasy XIII Reminiscence – tracer of memories” was found in the Japanese magazine and scanned a picture of it. It also seems that these parts will be lengthy reads on their own.
So far, the novella acts more as a supplementation to the game series than an actual after-story. Parts 2 and 3 are scheduled to be included with the next 2 issues of Weekly Famitsu. Part 1 is 35 pages, all walls of Japanese text completely sans pictures, so it’s more of an advanced reading that will be difficult for non-fluent people to access.
There’s been no word on if this will be translated and brought over the United States. It’s also hard to imagine that many people would even care about the continuing saga.
The last entry in the game series received lukewarm reviews, and most harped on the mediocre story while actually praising the game play and environment.
Do you have any interest in reading the next installment of the Final Fantasy XIII saga?
