Everyone knows that Square Enix can produce some incredible CG images, but will the PS3 Final Fantasy games be the first to look nearly as good in-game?
Square has sworn to use the "full specifications" of the PS3 with the RPG sequels, and Japanese Famistu magazine has unleashed the first glimpse of its latest work - Final Fantasy Versus XIII.
Although the slightly grainy images on FinalfantasyXIII.net probably don't do the game justice, the character models look nice, and they show off some of the game's flashy magic effects.
It's not much, but it's a start, and we expect a flood of proper in-game screens within the next week or two. Come on Square!
Well, if anybody can get the most out of the system their working on, it'll be Square-Enix. Though I don't know if they'll be using every single ounce of the PS3's power. They always manage to squeeze a tad more out at the end of a consoles lifespan.
I'll look forward to see how this game comes along, as well as FFXIII.
Have to admit, I am a little confused over the whole vs thing...what's the difference between FFXIII and FFXIIVS?
Are they two completely different ff games? Do they link together in some way? I honestly don't know.
As I understand it there's 3 games; XIII, Versus XIII, and Agito XIII (Some sort of mobile phone game). These are all based on the same universe but aren't really connected plotwise, expect perhaps by the odd character popping up again. Essentially the other games are spinoffs.

The idea with the Fabula Nova Crystallis FFXIII games is that it's a compilation of games with completely separate plot, characters and setting, but incorporating the same core themes, in this case "Crystals that lead the world towards the future."
So you have Final Fantasy XIII, which seems to be your standard JRPG fare spearheaded by the usual FF team and acting as the flagship for the whole product line, you have Final Fantasy Versus XIII which is by the Kingdom Hearts team, and you have Agito XIII which is a mobile phone thing and seems to be based around some kind of card game. There's also rumors of a fourth game, Haeresis XIII. They've basically indicated they're going to milk the whole concept for years, the same way they have with Final Fantasy VII stuff, though I wouldn't be surprised if they started another project like this in a few years too.
