The lauded Square Enix development team behind Final Fantasy XIII is set to begin work on something completely different - according to their boss, that is.
Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada said it 'remained to be seen' whether Square would continue to create Final Fantasy-style games internally after the release of FFXIII.
He told Edge: "I believe Final Fantasy XIII is going be something special, and that it's going to be well received by the audience.
"But whether we are going to continue to internally create this type of game remains to be seen, because I actually feel that the team that was involved with Final Fantasy XIII should next move on to create and generate some 'next generation' forms of play.
"Internally and externally I feel there's an expectation of Square Enix to offer something new, and I really think that the Final Fantasy team could create something completely different, but at the moment they're strictly catering to the particular audience they have now."
