Final Fantasy XV

Final Fantasy Versus XIII is a video game for the PlayStation 3 which, alongside Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII, makes up the compilation Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy XIII. Unveiled at E³ 2006, the game is "not merely a sequel, but a wholly independent story unfolding in a different world with different characters." The game will be developed by the team responsible for the hit Kingdom Hearts series. Tetsuya Nomura will be the director. 

Unlike Final Fantasy XIII, this game will be action-oriented and the may be darkest Final Fantasy. Nomura has stated that he aims to create previously unseen "tricky" battle sequences, reminiscent of Advent Children. Nomura has revealed that 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. Various websites have speculated that the game might be released sometime in 2009, as it's been confirmed that XIII won't be released until at least mid-2008 and Versus is currently trailing behind it.

Story
The story, like Final Fantasy XIII, focuses around crystals. The King, the mysterious main character, leads the country holding the last crystal, which is beneficial to the military. At one time, all the other countries also possessed a crystal yet lost them in warfare. They pooled their resources into weapons, granting them rifles in exchange for swords and magic. A long cold war has gone on about the usage of the crystal. Recently, a peace treaty was talked about between the countries, but a group of marauders are beginning to break it.

Characters

 * A mysterious male with bluish blackish hair and crimson eyes is shown.He "is a member of the royal family in a kingdom that has protected family crystals for generations." While the main character sports normal, modern day clothing, he works to protect the family crystals from creatures from another world.


 * a heroine, parallel to the protagonist, will be present.
 * Mysterious soldiers wearing medieval-styled armor, but also carring assault rifles resembling modern automatic weapons.
 * A new character robed all in 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.

Trivia

 * One of the male character's weapons looks very similar to Lightning's weapon.
