AXE FACTS: Final Fantasy XIII (FFXIII)is the latest installment in what is arguably the most popular gaming franchise in the world. Developed and published by Square-Enix, FFXII will be released for the PlayStation 3 worldwide and on the Xbox 360 in North America and Europe.
The game features a female lead character (Lightning) and takes place in a futuristic, high-tech world with a story written by series veteran Motomu Toriyama (Director FFX-2, FFXII: Revenant Wings). Combat in the game will intermix traditional strategy elements with more visceral fighting mechanics in order to develop a sensation of combat closely related to the popular Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children film. The game will feature franchise mainstays such as summon spells, a large cast of characters, and a theme of resistance and humanity.
MY SLICE (The Axe Wielder): I think Starcraft is awesome…and I’ve never even played it. I’ve watched, in awe, as geeked out unit commanders morphed from average earth citizen to fearless and ruthless squad leaders right before my eyes during professional competitions. If there is ONE game that demonstrates what competitive gaming is all about, it’s gotta be Starcraft. That said, I respect the franchise and actually really look forward to seeing the enhancements the capable team at Blizzard are sure to implement. The game will be intense and provide the new official battleground for competitive gaming, but, for those of us who simply want something entertaining to grab command of at home…will it be fun?
LOOKING FORWARD TO:
- Amazing graphics
- Evolved combat engine
- Interesting characters
CONCERNED ABOUT:
- Convoluted story
- Intimidating length
EPIC BATTLE AXE REVIEW:
N/A (Available shortly after launch)
