Yoshinori Kitase got back on the "Lightning Room" Twitter today with a quick non hint about the announcement that we can expect from the September 1 25th anniversary event stage.

Square Enix has been using the phrase "Lightning Saga" in connection with the new announcement. Most assumed that the term Lightning Saga was just used to refer to the story of Lightning that started in Final Fantasy XIII. This is the case, Kitase confirmed. They used the phrase Lightning Saga to convey the content of the stage event to fans. Lightning Saga is not the name of whatever it is that will be announced at the event.

Kitase also confirmed something he and Motomu Toriyama have said in past interviews: we'll get the actual title of the new item at the event.

For English speakers, Kitase seems to be trying his best to provide English Tweets. He admits that he not all that good at English, so he relied on Google to provide this: "Hi! This account has been prepared for presentation to the new deployment will be announced on 9/1. I'll mutter various things. by kitase"

Every time I hear something mentioned about FFXIII aka "Lightning's Saga" I get all excited but then I remember that if they're going to do better on the upcoming game than the last it'll take probably 4 years and I'll be a Junior in COLLEGE by then and might not even be able to get it since I'll be getting a medical degree and probably won't have enough money DX FUUUUUUU but hey technology is moving right along maybe new technology will reduce the years it takes them to make a good long game with amazing graphics. Who knows....

OR
you can play the game (if it gets to be a game) after every shift you have. You have NO idea how relaxing it is! especially after some Superior makes you feel like s... after a little bite of screwing up from your part! XDDD.
PLUS
There are SO many doctors who also are gamers that most probably you´ll find a FF fan who would like to buy it too (so the price drops) OR whom you could borrow from.
AND THE BEST
is that, given the new technology, being a gamer makes it easy to develop skills needed for certain specialties!!

It stands to reason that it would not be the tile of the next game. It would either be Versus XIII or XIII-3. I always kind of thought of the combined games as a saga or trilogy even before they called such. XIII-2 was kind of more Serah's story so more like the Farron saga.

I kind of figured this. I mean, it'd be kind of an awkward title.

Also, Google Translate = win. It got it mostly right, it seems, but pretty much began to fail halfway through. I wonder what "mutter various things" was supposed to be...

Lightning's Saga: Final Fantasy XIII would've been a great title but that's just me.
