Final Fantasy XIII Targets Advent Children Style Action
Regardless of what you thought of Square Enix‘s sophomore outing in the full length motion picture business, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, it’s more than likely that you’ll agree that (a) it looked gorgeous and (b) the action was absolutely out of this world. Id that’s the case it’ll come as good news to hear that the people behind the PS3’s upcoming uber-RPG Final Fantasy XIII, are looking to Advent Children for inspiration.
Final Fantasy XIII game director Motomu Toriyama has stated that he wishes to see just how far his team will be able to push in-game battles, aiming for the sort of frenetic pace and action seen in the movie. He also went on to say that he expects to have a playable build of the game ready in time for E3 2007…yeah, I guess that means we have a looooong wait ahead of us before we’re able to bring this sucker home.
Certainly exciting news, but one has to wonder how exactly Toriyama and his team are planning on reaching the frantic pace of the action in the movie with traditionally slow paced RPG combat, major changes in store perhaps? Only time will tell.
