- Description
- Announced in E3 2006 as the core title of "Fabula Nova Crytallis", a 3-game project based on crystal that will also includes Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII, the later of which is for mobile phones. However, apart from crystal being the source of the stories, all three games will have a completely different characters, stories, world and game systems.
One of the goal of the game is to achive Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children's level of realism with Square's very own development tools "White Engine". The development team is from the people behind FFX and being lead by the producer from Kingdom Hearts. Who also presented a technical demo in E3 2005 which saw FFVII's Cloud in action. Interestingly, FFXII was originally intended as a PS2 project.
The main character is a girl, something of a rarity in the Final Fantasy series, and the first since Yuna in FF X-2. The story will takes place in a future world heavily influenced by crystal magic. The game system appears to be Active Time Battle, where instead of turn-based, players can attack once thier time gauge is full.
