MORE FINAL FANTASY SEQUALS?
Hot on the heels of Square's Final Fantasy X-2 announcement, rumors have begun to surfae in Japan stating that we may be in for more "dash two" follow-ups to earlier Final Fantasy titles. The current word making the rounds in the Japanese press is that the legendary PSone RPG, Final Fantasy VII, may be the first to recieve a sequal-whether or not this game would arrive before or after the yet-to-be-revealed Final Fantasy XII remains to be seen.
Our Take: Final Fantasy VII is undoubtedly one of the most popular installments in the series, so it's name being brought up for a possible sequal isn't the unexpected following the FFX-2 announcement. Whatever the case, we can only hope it's true.
Probability: 50%
GRAND THEFT AUTO: SIN CITY?
Early whispers suggest that the next Grand Theft Auto game may be called "Sin City", and take place in a 1970s era Las Vegas-like city with all the neon-lit trimmings. We've also heard rumblings that the next totally new game in the series-GTA4-won't be based on the GTA3 framework.
Our Take: if GTA4 is going to be as ambitious as GTA3 , it's still a ways off. There's still much to be done with the GTA3 engine in different settings though, and a Vegas-style locale would certainly lend itself well to the series. It should be pointed out that Liberty City and Vice City were both areas in the original 2D GTA-the other was called "San Andreas." Hmm...
Probability: 80%
