Final Fantasy XIII is the flagship title of the Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII collection.
Overview
Developed by Square-Enix for the PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms, Final Fantasy XIII is hotly anticipated latest game in this celebrated series of Japanese role playing games. What's known about it is extremely limited, but developers have gone on-record stating that the intent is for this game to be more action-oriented and fast-paced than previous installments. The target is to create battles that are on par with the ones found in Final Fantasy: Advent Children, a CGI-animated movie set in the world of Final Fantasy VII. No release date has been given so far, and information on the game's characters and setting has been limited.The Japanese release of FFVII AC: Complete for Blu-ray will include a demo of Final Fantasy XIII for the PS3, to be released March 2009. Demo plans for territories other than Japan, as well as the Xbox 360, have not been announced.
The Demo previously announced in Famistu will be over 90 minutes long and on Blu-ray disc seperate from the FFVII AC: Complete disc.
Gameplay
The Active Time Battle system will return in FF XIII, but it will undergo changes. Each attack the player selects will have a certain cost, which is deducted from the ATB meter, leaving the player open to execute many different commands, provided there are enough points on the meter. These abilities will then play in sequence, and certain moves can be linked together to have special effects. Summons return in this game but it seems that they will play a role in and out of battle. For example, outside of battle Shiva can transform into a motorcycle. The Party system returns, allowing full control of all the characters unlike the battle system in Final Fantasy XII.Story
Only a few pieces of the story have been released. The game will feature a woman that is code-named Lightning. She has limited control over gravity and a weapon that can transform from a sword into a semi-automatic rifle. The game is set in a world called Pulse, which is full of aggressive life forms. The Crystals return in XIII, and they create a floating city called Cocoon for humans to take refuge. Players will also encounter fal'Cie, higher beings who execute the will of the Crystals, and l'Cie--humans who have been chosen to obey the Crystals as well.Links
