<sub>NEWS!

Square-Enix has thus far announced that there will be FIVE different titles based on variations of the Final Fantasy XIII universe ( [link] + [link] ).


#1: Final Fantasy XIII
Platform: PlayStation3 & X-box360

HIGH QUALITY E3 2006 trailer: [link]
Trailer #2: [link]
Trailer #3 - E3 2008: [link]
Trailer #4: [link]
Trailer #5 - E3 2009 - ENGLISH VOICES: [link]

FINALLY - a female lead who knows how to kick some ARSE! HOO-HAH!
Thirteenth time's a charm, apparently. Her name or code name is currently thought to be "Lightning".

The story appears to revolve around Lightning, who is (according to official sources) a female version of Cloud of FFVII - as well as Jihl Nabaat, a mysterious woman who looks like a mix between Sephiroth of FFVII and Quistis of FFVIII (and is probably the game's main antagonist).

Characters revealed:
Lightning
Snow Villiers (previously known as "Mr 33cm" - his shoe-size)
Oerba Dia Vanille
Sazh Katzroy
Hope Estheim
Gadot
Lebreau
Maqui
Jihl Nabaat ("Quistiroth")


#2: Final Fantasy -versus- XIII
Platform: PlayStation3

Trailer: [link]
Trailer #2: [link]
Trailer #3: [link]
Trailer #4: [link]

A young man with dark silver-blue hair, red eyes and a wicked weapons arsenal appears to be the main character in this game. His name or code name was previously thought to be "Storm", but that turned out to be mere speculation. He then went by the title of "Prince". Now, it has been confirmed that his name is Noctis. "Prince Noctis" has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

A quote by Shakespeare that appears in the trailers probably alludes to the theme of the game: "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." Hence, the title of "Versus" - good versus bad, or rather the perception of good versus bad; perception versus reality: can something/someone truly be "good" or "bad"? Also relating to this is that Stella, who is thought to be Noctis' love interest, appears to be an antagonist. She is his opponent, yet he loves her. Angst, anyone?

Characters revealed:
Noctis Lucis Caelum a.k.a. Prince Noctis
Stella Nox Fleuret
"Shooter"
"Scarface"
"Specs"


#3: Final Fantasy -agito- XIII
Platform: PlayStation Portable

Trailer: [link]
Trailer #2: [link]

If Harry Potter and Final Fantasy VIII had a love child, this game would be it. It features no less than twelve playable characters (although you can only play as one at a time), and they were all attending the Magic School Akademia - until their country was invaded, and their school destroyed. ~FerenanxTristan gives a "summary of an oral translation" of the Agito section in the CLOUD book in her Fabula Nova Crystallis 2 deviation description.

Characters revealed:
"Longsword" (female)
"Katana" (male)
"Handguns" (male)
"Shotgun" (female)
"Racket" (female)
"Bow & Arrow" (male)
"Spear" (male)
"Scythe" (female)
"Flail" (female)
"Fists" (male)
"Flute" (female)
"Cards" (male)
