Last Teusday March 9th, a long awaited video game by the name of Final Fantasy XIII (or Final Fantasy Thirteen) came out for the Playstation 3 and Xbox Live game Consoles.
What I find a bit annoying about Battle-play is that it is similar to the Battle-Play of Final Fantasy III on the Nintendo DS. In Final Fantasy III, you choose which character in your party attacks which enemy with whatever attack, and then watch them fight. There's no fun in it at all, the game is mostly strategy. In Final Fantasy VII and other games of the Final Fantasy series (or more well known, Kingdom Hearts), you can guide your character, spam the "A" or "X" button to attack and joyfully beat your opponent to a pulp. If the game it rated 16 and up, we want some form of beating up the "Pantheron" on the enemy's side.
Now, for most video game fans this would mean just another game to wrap your head around for something to do while you "suffer" at school or work, however for fans of other Final Fantasy games, this is a huge excitment. There are a total of four gaes for the XIII series, and I will let you know about those after a neet little tidbit about the characters.
One thing that I find very cool about the Final Fantasy XIII cast of characters, they are all molded after a character from Final Fantasy VII (or Final Fantasy Seven).
The protagonist, strawberry-blonde, beautiful, cold-hearted Lightning Farron is actually modeled from a man in Final Fantasy VII, the protagonist named Cloud Strife.
(One thing before I continue, Lighting's last name was found out from her younger sister Serah, don't shoot me down for making up a false name, oh FFXIII fan.)
Cloud Strife and Lightning Farron look very, very similar in both face, and some personality traights show as well.
Other characters are modeled after other characters such as Barrett from VII was used as a model for Sazh, the man in XIII with the baby bird in his afro. One of the women, Fang, is modeled after Zack Fair from VII.
Rumors said Noctis Lucis Caelum was modeled after Lightning who was modeled after Cloud... But I'll stop being a nerd and get on with my post.

There are four actual games for Final Fantasy XIII that are all going to be released. The first which was released March 9, 2010 was titled very simply; "Final Fantasy XIII". This game was very simply just the start of the adventures of XIII.
Noctis Lucis Caelum, shown above
The next to come out is called "Final Fantasy Versus XIII", which will reportedly introduce a new character, Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum. Now if this Prince thing is new to you, you're not the only one. "Final Fantasy Versus XIII" has no solid release date, but development is well underway and gameplay has been shown briefly in scans which are sadly not of the best quality.
Agito's Logo- shown above
The third game, "Final Fantasy Agito XIII". Previously announced for Mobile Cell, but now exclusively for PSP, Final Fantasy Agito XIII is the third instalment of the Fabula Nova Crystallis series. Little is known about the story, other than multiple large armies seem to be attacking a magical institution which holds a crystal.
Haeresis's Logo is shown above, however the name is also being debated weather to remain as "Haeresis" or change to "Melody"
And finally, "Final Fantasy Haeresis XIII". Final Fantasy Haeresis XIII is not fully confirmed by Square Enix but is rumored to be an Online RPG, part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis compilation, for the Playstation 3. We know nothing official about this game, however Square Enix have published a wordmark. There is no verification that this is true and is rumor until confirmed.
Thanks for reading my hopefully interesting and yet super long post about Final Fantasy XIII, I hope you take time to play the games because, honestly, I don't do as great a job of describing the games as I should.
For next time,
Tomo <3
