FF Versus XIII has seamless battles and open world exploration

E3 came and went but we're still much in the dark about Final Fantasy Versus XIII. One of the few things we do know about is that it's an action gameplay element to it apart from being an RPG. Through a couple of Japanese gaming blogs, we have supplementary info on that, plus some other little features about the PS3 exclusive.

 

According to PS3 Dominater, Final Fantasy Versus XIII will have an open world for players to explore, and you'll even have a vehicle to ride in to make the trips much quicker. There will be seamless transition between battles, and apart from a taking a bit to load across different ares of the map, the exploration will be seamless as well. Like previous FF titles, monsters can be seen freely roaming the map, and you're likely to get attacked if you just stand around.

 

Through FF-Reunion.net, it was revealed that there are destructible objects in the field, and a fight scene in a location designed after an actual gas station in Shinjuku.

I'm sure Microsoft will throw some money their way and make this multi platform

that scan reminds me of Crisis Core's first boss battle with a Behemoth in the virtual Midgard.

FF Versus XIII has seamless battles and open world exploration... and then it goes multi-platform and we get another neutered, linear-as-string Final Fantasy XIII

I just hope this doesn't get ported to 360. Don't get me wrong, down the line they can port it to 360, downgrade it and put it on as many discs as they want. I'm just tired of me and other PS3 owners getting screwed over like we did with FF13.

don't fool yourselves. if they wanted to make FF13 less linear, they would have! even on the PSone they could make huge games - they just put it all on 4 discs. the same is equally possible with the 360 (and even has been done before - lost oddessey as an example).

Square Enix screwed us all - PS3 AND 360 owners!

I'm not getting my hopes up for this game until they really show something good.

The fault was X360, no doubt about it.

Just hope they don't multiplaform again... Just praying

Not played FF since the PS1 but looking @ this game I can see me buying it.

Personally I think it may stay a PS exclusive (4 a while @ least) due to the open world map.
Now th@ the xbox looks like the original PS3's futuristic little brother (u can only hope they got the hardware right) with all the bit's u did not need like HDMI, WIFI etc u gotta admit the thing that stops it ever being as good as the PS3 can b is it's shitty little discs.

I love DVDs & watch them a bit but 4 my gaming I'd hate 2 b back 2 the days of swapping discs every time I decide 2 go somewhere different on a world map.
People say its no big deal 2 swap discs but they r full of shit, it ruins the overall experience 4 1....popping back 2 reality by the words "insert disc 3"...rubbish.

I think Sony & PS3 owners should get a few little gems like this now & again 4 the foresight 2 create/buy something th@ was future proofed rather than cheap.

Money talks & most people like wh@ it says but is M$ buy this from it being exclusive & the game suffers as a result then it's a bad day 4 all gaming.

Sorry 4 going on but th@ is the reason I don't post often.
