Some juicy new info on Final Fantasy XIII (and Versus XIII)

Some nice and new FFXIII images inside!


- The FFXIII demo disc included with FFVIIACC will be a PS3 disc, it’s not on a standard blu-ray movie disc. This is good news for people with Euro PS3s, since it’ll probably mean the demo will work even if the movie is region locked.

- There’re 3 realtime screens of Agito XIII from the trailer, including a screen of Odin.

- 3 pages worth of FFXIII screens and stuff, about 20 screens. There are realtime screens too apparently.

- The FFXIII demo will be from the opening part of the game, and will be longer than FFVIIAC (longer than 90mins? ).

- 4 pages on Versus, about 10 screens all realtime.

- The world in Versus XIII worships a Shinigami and the Shinigami is designed by Amano

- The cars and clothing seen in the trailers so far will probably change in design for the final game

- The morale of the team is really high!

Agito XIII Realtime:

AGITO XIII:

- They moved it to the PSP because they couldn’t wait for cellphones to get more advanced lolz

- The battle will be heavy on action but still sort of turn based. It will use an advanced version of Crisis Core’s high speed ATB system.

- Crisis Core was 1 player, but this time there will be multiple characters in the party.

- Right now it supports Infrastructure multiplayer for up to 3 players.

- Summons are part of the character growth system, and can also be controlled by players after summoning.

- The game will support both Ad-hoc and Infrastructure.

    Well they almost had no choice considering how well the PSP is selling in Japan.

    More details:

    - FFXIII will definitely have a party battle system, where you control each character as they switch turns, like in a normal FF. It will not be like FFXII.

    - FFXIII’s story is being written such that every single of the main characters will feel like protagonists, instead of just supporting characters.

    - At the top of the building where the prince and the heroine of Versus meet, there is a painting. That painting is the Shinigami that is worshipped in the world, and the painting of it in the game itself, is drawn by Amano.

    - The name of the prince and the heroine in Versus will be revealed at TGS.

    Well, these are enough reasons why I should get a PS3.
    I’m sure these games will not disappoint me.
    Unlike FF 12.
