Lucis

Unreleased Noctis's kingdom is a yet-to-be-named city in the upcoming game, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, ruled by Noctis Lucis Caelum's family.

Through the power of its Crystal, the city has risen as a modern-day metropolis and First World-esque power, putting it in conflict with the foreign "barbarians" that wish to claim the Crystal's power as their own, leading to a cold war. Noctis has been described as the last heir to the kingdom's throne, responsible for defending the kingdom from outsiders. The royal family has been compared to a mafia crime family.

The city is a sprawling metropolis, inspired by modern-day cities like Tokyo and New York, and as such, is populated by skyscrapers and highways. Despite this, all trailers to date have depicted the city as being largely deserted. Locations within or around the city include Vallis Acerba (Latin for "Harsh Valley") and Nihilsomno (Latin for "Sleepless").

Name
Though the city has yet to be officially named, a radio broadcast regarding the status of the cold war refers to a kingdom called Niflheim, Nibelheim, or Nigelheim; because there are no accompanying subtitles, the exact pronunciation of the name remains uncertain. It is unknown if this refers to Noctis's kingdom, or another with which it has signed a peace accord. In any case, it may be named after Nifleheim, a mythical location in Norse mythology.
