-{{nihongo|'''''Final Fantasy Versus XIII'''''|ファイナルファンタジー ヴェルサスXIII|Fainaru Fantajī Verusasu Sātīn}} is an  [[action role-playing game]] developed and published by [[Square Enix]] for the [[Sony Computer Entertainment|Sony]] [[PlayStation 3]] [[video game console]]. Alongside ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy Agito XIII]]'', the game makes up part of the ''[[Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII]]'' [[compilation]].  Unveiled at [[E3|E³]] [[2006]], the game focuses on a mysterious [[protagonist]], the last heir of a dynasty ruling over the only remaining city in the world to control crystals. Under unforeseen circumstances, he is forced to make a stand when his kingdom, people, and its crystals come under attack from marauders seeking to conquer the city and take the crystals as their own.<ref name="interviews">{{cite web | author=Dengeki PlayStation 2| year=2006 | title=''Square Enix talk Final Fantasy XIII'' | url=http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2006/1543.html | work=[http://www.rpg.com/ RPGFan] | accessdate=15 November | accessyear=2006}}</ref>
-According to developers of the game, the game is not a sequel nor a prequel to other ''Final Fantasy XIII'' entries, but a wholly independent story unfolding with different characters and visual designs. According to Square-Enix, each title takes place in the same universe, but are not directly related.<ref name="note4">{{cite web | author=Erik Brudvig | year=2006 | title=''E3 2006: Final Fantasy XIII Showcased'' | url=http://ps3.ign.com/articles/705/705978p1.html | work=[http://www.ign.com/ IGN] | accessdate=11 May | accessyear=2006}}</ref>
-The game is directed and designed by [[Tetsuya Nomura]], who previously directed and designed the extremely successful [[Kingdom Hearts series|''Kingdom Hearts'' series]] with [[Yoko Shimomura]] scoring the music and [[Shinji Hashimoto]] handling the production.<ref name="crew">{{cite web | author=Square Enix | year=2006 | title=''E3 2006 - SQUARE ENIX ~ Final Fantasy Versus XIII'' | url=http://na.square-enix.com/e306/titles/fabula/versus/ | work=[http://na.square-enix.com/ Square Enix] | accessdate=15 November | accessyear=2006}}</ref> A trailer of the game has been screened at both the [[E³]] [[2006]] [[expo]] and the [[Tokyo Game Show]], and is now available to the public.<ref name="trailer">{{cite web | author=Jeff Haynes | year=2006 | title=''E3 2006: FF Versus XIII Teaser Impressions'' | url=http://ps3.ign.com/articles/705/705990p1.html | work=[http://www.ign.com/ IGN] | accessdate=15 November | accessyear=2006}}</ref> Square-Enix has shown a new trailer in a closed mega theater at [[Jump Festa]], with new action footage showing the protagonist fighting against the soldiers. A new trailer shown at the Square Enix Party shows even more new footage as the protagonist fights against a new character in white who uses magic.
-Very little information regarding the design or plot of the game has been revealed as yet, although Square Enix representatives have stated that it will be primarily action-oriented and may be the darkest ''Final Fantasy''. From an interview with Nomura in [[MediaWorks (publisher)|Dengeki PlayStation 2]] [[magazine]], he has stated that he aims to create previously unseen "tricky" battle sequences, reminiscent of the [[Computer generated imagery|CGI]] [[film]], ''[[Final Fantasy VII Advent Children]]''.<ref name="interviews">{{cite web | author=Dengeki PlayStation 2| year=2006 | title=''Square Enix talk Final Fantasy XIII'' | url=http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2006/1543.html | work=[http://www.rpg.com/ RPGFan] | accessdate=15 November | accessyear=2006}}</ref> Various websites such as [[IGN]] have speculated that the game might be released sometime in [[2008]].<ref name="release">{{cite web | author=IGN| year=2006 | title=''Final Fantasy XIII'' | url=http://uk.ps3.ign.com/objects/826/826846.html | work=[http://www.ign.com/ IGN] | accessdate=15 November | accessyear=2006}}</ref>. In recent interview translations, Nomura says the game will play like a more realistic version of Kingdom Hearts with some elements of a third-person shooter similar to [[Dirge of Cerberus]].
-In [[Latin]], "versus" can be the past participle of the verb "vertere" which means "to change direction." In [[English language|English]], it is a preposition which means "against, in opposition to."<ref name="versus">{{cite web | author=Wiktionary| year=2006 | title=''versus - Wiktionary'' | url=http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/versus | work=[http://en.wiktionary.org/ Wiktionary] | accessdate=15 November | accessyear=2006}}</ref>{{nonspecific}}
-==World==
-As with every ''Final Fantasy'', the style of this world is unique, appearing to blend both modern and medieval aesthetics. The main character's country appears as very advanced and modern, as one example, while their neighbors appear to have remained in an era similar to the European [[Middle Ages]]. The main power in the world are the Crystals. All the countries (aside from the protagonist's) have had them at one time, only to lose them in continual warfare. They had pooled their resources into weapons, granting them advanced rifles rather than swords and magic. Now, only the main character's country has a Crystal, triggering debate over its use as it is beneficial to the military. Recently, a peace treaty was discussed (Mentioned in the radio in the JF trailer). However, marauders with guns invade the city as the main character battles them, disrupting the peace.

-==Characters==
-* The protagonist is a mysterious young man with dark blue hair and red eyes. He is the last heir to a dynasty, ruling the only remaining city in the world which controls crystals. He protects his home from marauders that plan to conquer the city and take the crystals as their own. He wields a number of different weapons, including swords, spears, and lances, and can even induce them (telekinetically or otherwise) to independently move in the air to form a whirling barrier around himself.  He has also demonstrated the power of instantaneous teleportation. His physical features seem to change depending on his actions, as his eye color(noticeably only his right eye) turns red when holding his sword and his hair flashes white when teleporting. Nomura has said that his eye color will change to more colors, some scans have shown him with bright yellow eyes when holding a different sword, and other colors like green. It has been shown he can use magic, as hinted by Nomura, surrounding the white-robed figure with numerous swords.

-* Nomura has also confirmed that a heroine, parallel to the protagonist, will be present in the game.<ref name="interviews">{{cite web | author=Dengeki PlayStation 2| year=2006 | title=''Square Enix talk Final Fantasy XIII'' | url=http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2006/1543.html | work=[http://www.rpg.com/ RPGFan] | accessdate=15 November | accessyear=2006}}</ref>
-* Mysterious soldiers These unknown warriors wear medieval-styled armor, but also carry assault rifles resembling modern automatic weapons.
-*White-robed figure: A new character wearing all white (a possibly symbolic contrast from the protagonist's clothing) introduced in the new trailer. The character is seen in protagonist's building near the castle as they both cast spells at each other, implying that they are enemies.
-==Development==
-Development of ''Final Fantasy Versus XIII'' started around two to three years ago prior to E3 2006, in conjunction with ''Final Fantasy XIII'', after the Final Fantasy VII Technical Demo for the PlayStation 3 was completed.<ref>http://ps3.ign.com/articles/710/710761p1.html</ref> Most of the development was begun on the [[PlayStation 2]], but was later migrated onto the [[PlayStation 3]] when the development team determined that a single DVD and the [[PlayStation 2]]'s hardware wouldn't suffice the storage and visual requirements. Most of the development was restarted on the [[PlayStation 3]].<ref>http://ps3.ign.com/articles/710/710761p1.html</ref>
-Development of ''Final Fantasy Versus XIII'' was also never considered to be branded a whole new ''Final Fantasy XIV'', as the concept, thinking and background of the game could not be possible in a standard numbered iteration of the franchise.<ref>http://ps3.ign.com/articles/710/710761p2.html</ref>
-[[Square-Enix]] announced in early 2007 that they had licensed [[Epic Games]]' [[Unreal Engine 3]] to use on forthcoming next generation titles, but have forgone mentioning whether ''Final Fantasy Versus XIII'' will be adapted to it, even though stating that ''Final Fantasy XIII'' will still use the White Engine.<ref>http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=12531</ref> <ref>http://au.xbox360.ign.com/articles/758/758363p1.html</ref>
-It was recently announced that ''Final Fantasy Versus XIII'' will use the motion-sensing capabilities of the PlayStation 3's [[PlayStation 3 accessories#SIXAXIS|Sixaxis]] controller.<ref name="Forever Fantasy">{{cite web | author=Tomer | year=2007 | title=''Final Fantasy Versus XIII will use SixAxis'' | url=http://www.forever-fantasy.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=142&mode=&order=0&thold=0 | work=[http://www.forever-fantasy.net/ Forever Fantasy] | accessdate=24 January | accessyear=2007}}</ref> However, its use for the game remains to be revealed.
