Few games have caught the mind of the entire gaming field than the few installments of the Final Fantasy chronicles. Undeniably the primary franchise of Square-Enix, the Final Fantasy saga has never ceased to disappoint its ravenously faithful supporters with each and every game in the stretched running record of the title.
And recently, the world keenly anticipates the introduction of the 13th chapter of Final Fantasy.
What was once promoted as a Sony Playstation 3 special is now announced as a dual issue for the aforementioned PS3 and Microsoft's extremely successful consoleengine, the Xbox 360, at least for lands remote to Japan.
Final Fantasy XIII initializes in the floating isle-heaven of Cocoon in a revolutionary world greatly influenced by divine-like creatures known as the Fal'cie. On other hand, an contradictory power, known as the Pulse, hangs about below the Cocoon, spreading threat, obscurity and despair. Both the Cocoon and the Pulse are driven by their own gemstones - high energy sources which have turn into a core in each Final Fantasy game - which one by one developed to core points of the looming clash which will serve as the environment for the gamer's voyage.
Aside from the gemstones, familiar ideas are definite to return, like a toon named Cid, soaring ships, chocobos, leveling themes, summoning and summoned fiends like the Ifrit and Bahamut, forceful fiends like Ultima, and vicious spells like fire, fira and firaga.
The persons in the rear of the scenes are also just as familiar. Motomu Toriyama, the director of Final Fantasy X-2 and the director and setting composer for Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, will be the lead director of Final Fantasy XIII. Eiji Fujii, the flick director of Final Fantasy XII, will take care of the fantastic CGGs of the 13th installment. Isamu Kamikokuryo, who shared art directing duties for Final Fantasy XII, will have the lead for Final Fantasy XIII. And Kazumi Kobayashi and Yoshiki Kashitani, veterans of earlier Final Fantasy games, will return as the main programmers for the latest issue.
There is so much to be excited about with Final Fantasy XIII. The battle system is truly one of a kind. Vanished are the arduous accidental fights as well as the slow turn based system of earlier games. Final Fantasy XIII will employ an active encounter system that will act like a real time encounter system, much like the hack and slash games recently. The illustrations are deemed to be the most excellent, not only when it comes to other segements in the chronicles, but also when equated to other games for this generation of consoles.
Final Fantasy XIII will be available in Japan come 2009, and a US issue is certain to come a few months thereafter.
