Final Fantasy Versus XIII is one of the newest installments in the Final Fantasy franchise coming to the Playstation 3 as part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII compilation .

Square Enix is currently working on this game and has released little information about it.

Plot

Thus far, not much is known about the plot. The game takes place on a world currently in state of Cold War. The rival nations of the world seek the last remaining Crystal, as this will bring them the prosperity that they desire, but this Crystal is currently owned by the Protagonists kingdom. Because of increasingly apparent modernization in contrast to neighboring nations, the prince's kingdom has isolated themselves from the outside world. The game is set as two nations battle each other for dominance and for the last Crystal held by the Prince's kingdom.

Characters

The main character of Final Fantasy Versus XIII

Much like the plot, little is currently known about the cast of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, although a fair number of characters have been revealed.

The Prince

The Prince is the current protagonist of this game and although precious little is known about his character, not even his name, a few plot details regarding him and his past have been revealed. He is the last heir of a royal family which rules over the last kingdom in the land which possess a crystal. Because of this the world is in a Cold War like state and his kingdom appears to be currently under siege. His appearance is that of a man in his early twenties who has red eyes and grey/blue hair. Developers have stated that the colour of his eyes will change when in combat depending on the weapon he is currently wielding. He also seems to possess the ability to teleport to his weapons, as he does so in one of the trailers, and when he does so his hair goes white and stands on end.

The Prince' Accomplises

This gang of 3 seem to follow the Prince in his journeys. They are all male. None of their names are known and so fans only have their appearances to go by. One of them is of large build and has a scar across his left eye. Another wears glasses and appears to be the Princes private chauffeur, albeit still his friend. The last of the accomplices is a slim blonde haired male who carries a shotgun over his shoulder and seems to be a good friend of the Prince, as he is seen with the Prince in a headlock during one of the most recent trailers. It should also be noted that there is a restriction on firearms in the country, leading fans to regard him as a rebel or an outcast.

Others

Another 3 characters have been revealed and are as follows : A blonde girl has been shown opposite to the Prince and has been described as an unfortunate enemy to him. She wields a rapier and is a confirmed enemy, though her allegiances are currently unconfirmed. A character dressed all in white has also been seen facing off against the protagonist, inside the protagonists palace, leading many to believe that this person will be the main antagonist of this game. Another man, much older than all of the other characters, as also been seen sitting in a rather grand room in a business suit. Because he has similar eyes to the protagonist it is speculated that they are related.

Gameplay

No details have been released about the battle system of this game. However, it is known that the battle system will be developed in part by the developers of the Kingdom Hearts battle system. Furthermore, from the first trailer, the main character seems to be able to control several weapons at once and use them for offense or defense.
