It's been said that enough locations were cut from Final Fantasy XIII to make an entire new game, but according to developer Square Enix it won't be reusing any axed content in upcoming sequel FFXIII-2.
"I think those comments have been really nadly misinterpreted. The fact is that when making any game you need to come up with lots of different ideas and designs that you weigh up against each other before picking the best one. Obviously in that process a lot of ideas and designs have to be discarded," he explained.
He went on to assure fans that the development team has stayed away from this unused material when working on the sequel.
"We have never knowingly picked up these kind of ideas and recycled them. That's not what we do. It's natural for anyone making games to throw away ideas but the scenario of FFXIII-2 is completely newly written and has no connection to anything we didn't use for FFXIII", he added.
Square Enix has announced Final Fantasy XIII-2 will be released in January next year.

I'm playing FF13 at the moment- I've gotten through the vast majority by pushing up and pressing A. Also, I wish to set fire to the entire cast except for maybe Sasz... and Fang because I can easily pretend she's a lesbian.
Big game though- it's camper than Dale Winton but it's provided me many hours of pushing up and pressing A! I don't think I'm interested in the story enough for me to purchase the sequel (as it is a little bit rubbish) at least not a full price... so I may just do what I dd before and buy it for under a tenner.
