Few games have caught the imagination of the whole gaming world than the few chapters of the Final Fantasy chain.

And recently, everyone eagerly awaits the presentation of the 13th installment of Final Fantasy. What was formerly advertised as a Sony Playstation 3 exclusive is recently proclaimed as a dual release for the aforementioned PS3 and Microsoft's greatly successful consoleengine, the Xbox 360, at least for lands remote to Japan. Final Fantasy XIII starts in the hanging isle-ecstasy of Cocoon in a revolutionary planet highly influenced by god-like creatures known as the Fal'cie. On other hand, an contradictory power, known as the Pulse, loiters below the Cocoon, spreading danger, darkness and desolation. Both the Cocoon and the Pulse are powered by their own gemstones - superior power sources which have become a core in each Final Fantasy game - which in turn become main points of the looming disagreement which will act as the backdrop for the player's adventures. Aside from the gemstones, familiar ideas are definite to return, like a toon named Cid, soaring ships, chocobos, leveling themes, summoning and summoned fiends like the Ifrit and Bahamut, forceful fiends like Ultima, and vicious spells like fire, fira and firaga. The persons in the rear of the pictures are also just as recognizable. Motomu Toriyama, the leader of Final Fantasy X-2 and the director and scenario composer for Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, will be the cheief director of Final Fantasy XIII. Eiji Fujii, the flick director of Final Fantasy XII, will look after the fantastic CGGs of the 13th chapter. Isamu Kamikokuryo, who split art directing chores for Final Fantasy XII, will have the lead for Final Fantasy XIII. And Kazumi Kobayashi and Yoshiki Kashitani, veterans of preceding Final Fantasy games, will go back as the primary programmers for the latest release. There is so much to be excited about with Final Fantasy XIII. The battle structure is really unique. Gone are the laborious random battles as well as the sluggish turn based structure of previous games. Final Fantasy XIII will employ a dynamic battle structure that will act like a real time battle structure, much like the hack and slash games now. The visuals are deemed to be the best, not only when it comes to other segements in the installments, but also when compared to other games for this generation of consoles. Final Fantasy XIII will be available in Japan come 2009, and a US issue is certain to come a few months thereafter.
