Most of you following Final Fantasy on the Internet know that FF XIII has received a huge lot of flack from reviewers and gamers alike for being too story-driven - linear as you and they would usually say. Is that something that'll ward off further efforts in the same, story-bent direction? Not at all according to FF XIII director Motomu Toriyama, speaking at the "Crystal Mythos" GDC panel yesterday, saying that the rest of the series will continue to focus on story-driven gameplay rather than allowing the player to explore an open world... for better or for worse.

Aside from noting this game-changing detail, Toriyama also stressed the fact that neither Versus XIII nor Agito XIII are a sequel to the very recently released Final Fantasy XIII - while most of us know this fact, Toriyama considered it important to note that both of the games mentioned will have different casts, stories, and gameplay, bonded by the Crystal Mythos theme where the fates of ordinary humans are controlled by omnipotent gods.
