Final Fantasy Versus XIII (ファイナルファンタジーヴェルサスXIII, Fainaru Fantajī Verusasu Sātīn) is an action computer role playing video game developed and produced by Square Enix for the PlayStation 3 video game console. Alongside Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII, the game makes us part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy XIII compilation. Unveiled at E³ 2006, the game focuses on a mysterious protagonist, the last heir to a dynasty ruling the only remaining city in the world to control crystals who under unforeseen circumstances, is forced to make a stand when his kingdom, people and it's crystals comes under attack from marauders that would conquer the city and take the crystals as their own. [1]

According to developers of the game, the game is not a sequel, but a wholly independent story unfolding with different characters in a different world and even different visual designs, having nothing to do with others in the Fabula Nova Crystallis compilation except that the stories revolve around crystals. [2]

The game is directed and designed by Tetsuya Nomura, who previously directed and designed the extremely successful Kingdom Hearts series with Yoko Shimomura scoring the music and Shinji Hashimoto handling the production [3]. Although a trailer of the game has been screened at both the E³ 2006 expo and the Tokyo Game Show, Square Enix have refused to make the trailer publicly available. [4]Some believe that the trailer will be made public at Jump Festa 2006, however Square Enix has not confirmed this.

Very little information regarding the design or plot of the game has been revealed as yet, although Square Enix representatives have stated that it will be primarily action-oriented. As of a recent interview with Nomura in Dengeki PlayStation 2 magazine, Nomura has stated that he aims to create previously unseen "tricky" battle sequences, reminiscent of the CGI film, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. [1] Various websites such as IGN have speculated that the game might be released sometime in 2008. [5]

"Versus" is a Latin word that can roughly mean either "against" or "to change direction". [6]

Characters

  • The protagonist is a mysterious young man with dark blue hair and crimson eyes. He is the last heir to a dynasty ruling the only remaining city in the world to control crystals. He protects his home from marauders that would conquer the city and take the crystals as their own. He wields a number of different weapons, including swords, spears, and lances, and can even induce them (telekinetically or otherwise) to move in the air independently of him and form a whirling barrier around himself.
  • Nomura has also confirmed that a heroine, parallel to the protagonist, will be present in the game. [1]
  • Mysterious soldiers. These unknown warriors wear armor that has a medieval design, but also carry assault rifles resembling modern automatic weapons. They are rumored to belong to one of the marauding groups attempting to invade the city and steal the crystals.
