Synopsis

Square Enix’s flagship role playing series makes its long-anticipated appearance on Microsoft’s Xbox 360.

With countless role playing titles to its name over the years, Square Enix is still best known for the series that revitalised the genre: Final Fantasy. Now onto its incredible thirteenth rendition, Final Fantasy XIII moves the series onto new hardware, utilizing the graphical punch next generation consoles allow. A fresh storyline sees the inhabitants of skyward paradise Cocoon transformed into magical servants thanks to the discovery of a violent new curse. A mysterious young woman known only as Lightning must assemble a team of allies in the hopes of freeing her people.

With the power of the Xbox 360 firmly behind it, Final Fantasy XIII is one of the most visually stunning role playing games yet seen in the series. The high quality pre-rendered cut scenes the series is known for make their return, with dozens of hours of footage helping to tell the game’s sweeping tale. Combat allows players to summon Eidolon demons, which will now fight alongside players for a set amount of time.

Final fantasy XIII moves the flagship role playing series onto new formats without losing the epic scale and far-reaching plot lines that have made the series so popular.
