Final Fantasy XIII

Final Fantasy XIII will be released March 9, 2010 in North America and December 17, 2009 in Japan.

Instead of their being one main character and the others were supporting characters in the Final Fantasy series. All of the characters will feel like protagonists.

The battle system is similar to the battle system in Final Fantasy XII. All enemies are visible on the map and you can go up to it to engage in battle. Like other Final Fantasy games it is an Active Time Battle system.

From what I’ve seen from the Japanese trailers, the graphic are amazing, the story line is good and there’s a lot of drama. All in all I believe this game will be a hit like other Final Fantasy games before it.

Here’s the plot of the game:

The city Cocoon was created by a fal’Cie for civilization. Cocoon floats high above the surface of the plant Known as Pulse. Each has their own fal’Cie. The fal’Cie of Cocoon created life forms and machinery for the inhabitants, and thus humanity was born. The people of Cocoon feared that there paradise would be destroyed and feared living on Pulse. They saw Pulse as hell.

13 centuries later, anyone who has been influenced by Pulse is exiled from Cocoon by the Sanctum government with the help of the PSICOM army. As Snow and his team try to stop the government, lightning and Sazh fight the soldiers to find Pulse’s fal’Cie. Against their will, Snow, Lightning, Sazh, and two exiles called Hope and Vanille were chosen by Pulse to become L’Cie, whose mission is to bring the down fall of Cocoon.

Yes I know the plot is a little confusing but I think it’s still worth playing.

Fal’Cie: beings created from crystals inside of them.

L’Cie: People who are marked by the fal’cie for greater purposes and they each have their own Focus/gaol they have to complete in a certain time limit. If they don’t complete their mission or if they died before doing so they turn into monsters called Cie Corpse.
