Final Fantasy XIII......Bummer!

For those of you who are stoked to get your hands on a PS3 just so you can play Final Fantasy XIII exclusively, this might be a dissappointing news for you as the game is making its way on XBOX 360 as well.

Still, nothing much has been revealed about the game. Some characters have been revealed so far, one of them is a Gunblade wielding female protagonist whom you'll be playing as. Her real name hasn't been revealed yet and up till now, she is only known as "Lightning". As for characteristics, character designer Tetsuya Nomura said that she is more of a "female version" of Final Fantasy VII's Cloud Strife.



Other characters that have been exposed are Nomchan and Mr. 33 cm.





In terms of gameplay, the battle system still uses the ATB System much like most previous Final Fantasy titles (where you wait for a meter to full before you vcan act) , but the battle animation an mechanism has been renewed to give a smooth action sequences.

As for example, in previous Final Fantasy the attack animation is limited to a single hit from the characters. But for this time, you'll be able to pull off multiple attacks and combos ( such can be seen in the trailer.) Also i was really suprised to see the visuals in the game. They are absolutely stunning (I like the effects on Lightning's hair against the wind) they are much more realistic than before.





As for me, personally i welcome the addition of Final Fantasy XIII to XBOX 360 lineup.
(Mainly because the gaming cost using XBOX 360 is much lower since now it can play pirated disc haha XD) But i hope the developer wont be doing a lazy job and blatantly jack the game straight from one console to the other as that would expose the game to various bugs and glitches.

I'll give you more updates soon! ^^
