FINAL FANTASY VERSUS XIII
Tetsuya, Hit it Home
Final Fantasy Versus XIII is a Video Game being developed by Square Enix in Japan for the Playstation 3. The game is an Action RPG (Role Playing game) where players play the rolls of various characters as the game's story unfolds. The game is the second installment of the Final Fantasy XIII Fabula Nova Crystallis project next to Final Fantasy XIII itself. Final Fantasy Versus XIII is not a sequel or prequel to Final Fantasy XIII, and will have completely different characters, the only similarity being their underlining mythology and universe. It was announced during E3 2006 on May 8. There is no scheduled release date at this time. Final Fantasy Versus XIII has been in development since at least 2005, possibly 2004. The title is being directed by Tetsuya Nomura, director of FFVII: Advent Children, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, and character designer for many Final Fantasy games since VII.
Like Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII is being developed using Square Enix's newest game engine, the Crystal Tools, formerly the White Engine. Tetsuya has said that the gameplay will be much more similar to that of the Kingdom Hearts series, than the turn based action of the main Final Fantasy titles. Furthermore, the game will deeply explore human emotion to the highest degree ever seen from Square Enix. The setting of the game is much more to modern day, while still maintaining some fantasy, such as magic and incredible acrobatics. Like all of Fabula Nova Crystallis, not much is known about the story, other than the protagonist is a Prince of a sealed off city kingdom, the last kingdom to control a crystal. The trailers for the title have hinted at parallels between it's story, and the Shakespearian story of Hamlet.
