Final Fantasy XIII

PS3 Preview | Final Fantasy XIII

When developer SquareSoft was struggling to make an impression on the world back in 1987 while bills mounted up and the world was in the grip of Mario fever, it looked like there was little option but to wave the white flag. Legend has it, they were on the brink of closing and sending everyone home. Then they released one final game - prophetically called Final Fantasy - and held their breath. The game proved to be a smash success and the rest, as they say, is history. Some 20 years later, the ... » Read More

Why Final Fantasy XIII will be the best yet

PS3 Preview | Final Fantasy XIII

Nov 27, 2007 Taking place in the dual locations of Pulse (a scummy underworld) and Cocoon (a heavily regulated Utopia), Final Fantasy XIII features a trademark bewildering plot of political intrigue and warring factions, characters of steely determination and sudden mood swings, and a vast scope which will suck dozens of hours from your life. Here are the reasons why it will be an instant classic: 1) Battle Mode FFXIII will retain the fast-paced, real-time battle system seen in FFXII, relying ... » Read More

Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII - new trailers...

PS3 Preview | Final Fantasy XIII

Another Square Enix event, and two more trailers appear - both substantially including footage we've seen before. Somehow we're not complaining yet, however, since they both look so interesting and portend very engrossing games. The Final Fantasy XIII trailer was, in fact, quite different and expanded from prior versions. The story of the game's world became clearer after we had the chance to watch it. The world of FFXIII is broken into two areas: Cocoon, what seems to be a small, closed ... » Read More

Final Fantasy XIII - impressions

PS3 Preview | Final Fantasy XIII

"Men, or mayhap gods?" That was one of the questions posed in the new version of the Final Fantasy XIII trailer shown off at Tokyo game show. What does it mean? It's the random sort of question that lends more mood than meaning to what followed it... not surprising, considering the game itself is still pretty much a total mystery even now. We say "version" of the trailer, because it was only slightly expanded from the original one debuted five months ago at the E3 show. While we didn't learn ... » Read More

Pre-E3 06: Final Fantasy XIII goes huge

PS3 Preview | Final Fantasy XIII

Today, Square Enix shockingly revealed three games bearing the title Final Fantasy XIII - two of them exclusive to the PlayStation 3. Final Fantasy XIII is an RPG… we think. Details are slimmer than slim at the moment. The trailer shown at the Square Enix press conference started with gorgeous cinematics, as you'd expect a Final Fantasy should. The cinemas showed a lone female warrior, much in the mold of the gunslinging Yuna from Final Fantasy X-2 or Ashe from the upcoming Final ... » Read More
