The latest in cutting-edge technology has been utilized in development of FINAL FANTASY XIII, thus making this newest addition to the FINAL FANTASY series worthy of the title “next generation.”
Final Fantasy XIII is a Square Enix made Role Playing Game in development for the Playstation 3. It was announced on May 8, 2006 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles.
In Final Fantasy X, Square Enix attempted to create the best traditional RPG, for Final Fantasy XIII, Square Enix plans to ring in the next generation of Role Play Games.
“To be more specific, in the traditional RPG, the game flow is pretty much the same: You go into town, talk to people, go out of town, and enter battles. We want to start looking at that flow and revolutionize it in a way that it may surprise people to learn that this is a Final Fantasy game. I’m thinking it will be an extraordinary new form in RPGs.” -Final Fantasy XIII Producer, Yoshinori Kitase
Thus far, Square Enix is proud that it has created visuals in Final Fantasy XIII, via their Playstation 3 engine, the White Engine, that people have a hard time telling the difference between real-time graphics and CG. Still though, Square Enix remains vigilant in maintaining the all around quality of experience of Final Fantasy in Final Fantasy XIII.
“It’s never solely about graphics, but at the same time you can’t deny the meaning of the looks for the experience as a whole. This technique allows us to create characters so realistic that the player perceives them as being alive. It adds something emotional to the entire game experience.” -Final Fantasy XIII Director, Motomu Toriyama
For Final Fantasy XIII, Square Enix has said it is considering online integration, as well as Sixaxis support. Furthermore, due to the capacity of Blu Ray and the addition of the hard disk in the Playstation 3, Final Fantasy XIII will be nearly load-time free.
