If you are one of the many round eyes who thoughtFinal Fantasy XIIIwas too linear, then never fear.Final Fantasy Versus XIII‘ director, Tetsuya Nomura, has confirmed that his contribution to theFabula Nova Crystallissaga will create a fine illusion of freedom, with a world map and old school airships.
“Not everything is connected together, so the various areas have different levels of progress. However, you may fly across the world map in an air ship,” confirms Nomura.
Versusis one of Square Enix’s biggest mysteries. We’ve only seen a few scraps of teaser footage and the occasional screenshot, with very little else to go on in between. From what we can tell, it’s set on a totally different world thanXIII, only containing a similar theme of humans being in thrall to more powerful beings.
In any case, after my personal disappointment withXIII, I now look to this PS3 exclusive to plug the RPG gap. I really hopeVersuscan provide a better product so I can carry Square Enix round on a big chair like king of the town.
