Guides
This game is part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII compilation.
Overview
Final Fantasy Versus XIII is developed by Square Enix as a Playstation 3 exclusive."This is a fantasy based on reality", those words seem to be the focus for this new and highly anticipated title. The story is going to be essentially the defining aspect of it. The world of Versus XIII seems to be set in a more modern and sophisticated setting, with high rise buildings and a realistic atmosphere. There is an attack on the city and with it the heretics want to take down everything left in the world and turn it into a forgotten place, this is their last stand to protect the final crystal and all the hope that's left in the world.
This is an opposite game to Final Fantasy XIII, hence the name. It's going to be a darker and more grittier game when compared to the more lighter and vibrant world in the game Final Fantasy XIII. The game takes place in the same Final Fantasy XIII universe but the settings and characters are all new and unrelated to the FFXIII game. The gameplay elements may seem to resemble FF XIII, the combat looks fast paced given it stays true to the scenes shown in the CGI trailer.The main character is a Prince and the empire in which he serves is the last of it's kind and remains the resting place of the final crystal. In the trailer you don't really see anyone else besides the soldiers and the main character. The game's setting looks futuristic as well as deserted.
Plot
Details on the plot are scarce. What we know so far is that the story revolves around a prince,Noctis Lucis Caelum, his name meaning Night, Light and Sky, who is the final heir to the throne. His nation has become more modernized than other nations and have isolated themselves from the world in the process. The game's setting involves a war between the prince's kingdom and another nation fighting for dominance and the final crystals, which the Prince's nation possesses. The game begins after the end of a long cold war between waring nations and the crystals are involved in these conflicts in some way. This has been claimed to be the darkest final fantasy story ever written.Characters
Other characters that have been seen with the prince are a brown haired man with glasses wearing a suit and is seen driving a car, a large man with dark hair and a scar on his face, and a blond man who is seen carrying a shotgun. There is also Stella Nox Fleuret, a blonde haired girl shown fighting the prince and wielding a Rapier. They seem reluctant to fight each other and her affiliation with the prince is unknown. Noctis and her seem like total opposites and are the main protagonists in the game. They talk about how the Prince is able to see light, which is a very vague comment and its meaning is still unknown. The Prince is shy but hides it by acting cool, while Stella seems to have had a much better upbringing.
Gameplay
The gameplay has been described as being similar to the Kingdom Hearts series and Dirge of Ciberus. Details are limited because there has been no gameplay footage released. There is a greater focus on realism and blood seen in the game which is rare in the Final Fantasy series. The battle sequences will be similar to the ones seen in the "Final Fantasy: Advent Children" movie.
