Final Fantasy XIII, Versus, Agito scans photo

Square's new Fabula Nova Crystallis project has been getting a fair bit of attention lately. The trailers of FFXIII and Versus from E3 wowed everyone. I found the FF trailer in particular to be pretty mindblowing. It looks like the new set of games is going to take the series in a different direction and I'm excited to see what the final products will look and play like.

Alas, we still haven't managed to acquire the FFXIII trailer that played at the Jump Fiesta in December. Let's keep our fingers crossed. In the mean time, here's some neat scans of all three games in the  Fabula Nova Crystallis series for you to drool over. Am I the only one here with a huge crush on Lightning?

Unfortunately, I can't read Japanese and DMV and his limited Japanese knowledge are too busy getting drunk in Vegas.

Oh wait ... he's underage. Bwahahahaha!

I've never had this cleared up. Is the main character actually a girl, or is it another guy that you masturbate to because you think it's a girl?

I can only make out about 1 or 3 actual gameplay screenshots.

All that looks to be pre-rendered screens.

This is still the main reason I'll eventually end up owning a PS3. Damn you Square for not going multi-platform!

Pray for a 360 release, I love FF, and I dont want to have to choke spending $600 to play it :(

so i am wondering how many of those screens are in game renders. they look prerendered, but then again i wouldn't be suprised if the PS3 can dish out those graphics. it makes me excited. the future of the PS3 is going to be bright, they just had a TERRIBLE start.

Well, they sorta are...just with different games for each platform. Personally, I'd rather play this on a PS3 than a 360 and I'm not ashamed to say it. There's probably going to be a fair bit of SIXAXIS functionality in the game which I'm curious to see.

they should just rename the series to "final future" the fantasy term is lost on SE

well, i guess thats what Namco RPG's are for now anyways.

this game better not dissapoint. otherwise i might never own a PS3

Meh..who am I kidding? it is likely that i'll wait until after it's release before i buy one. just so long as the library is there for the system that is. cause im not paying 600 dollars just to play one game

No wait, XII had alot more in common with fantasy than a futuristic setting. thats possibly why i like Ivalice

I wonder if Squeenix is going to end up using the gambit system again. In any case as much as this looks spazztastic... it's just not $600 worth spazztastic...

And for some reason seeing two versions of FFXIII released at the same time makes me wonder if Squeenix is going to milk FF like Nintendo does with Pokemon (e.g. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl two faces to the same game)

@trajax

I highly doubt they'll release them at the same time. There will be at least a few months between these releases. They don't want to cannibalize their own sales.

A majority of that is prerendered. I don't know why that's a surprise, it's SE. I'd be disappointed if there wasn't anything prerendered.

That being said, the stuff I've seen that's real-time (from XIII, not versus as I've only seen prerendered stuff for versus so far) looks freakin' amazing.

I also doubt a 360 port, as it sounds like the white engine was specifically developed for the PS3.

It was. The game was in development for the PS2 until Square realized how powerful the PS3 was. The purpose of the White Engine, according to Square, is to see if it's possible to replicate the fights from Advent Children in a game.

If FF plays like ass what does Halo do ?

Remember, FPS = Point and Click, browsing the net is just like an FPS.
