Final Fantasy XIII is one of the most highly anticipated titles for 2009. Players roam the realms of Pulse, a wild and overgrown planet, and Cocoon, a heavenly world floating in the sky above. Game-play is heavily based on strategy, with players selecting options from a menu while remaining in active combat. As per former recent Final Fantasy titles, the battles are integrated into the in-game world environment. The use of Summons is again included, with the summoned creatures being partially robotic. Also Square Enix is planning to add online features to the title. Previously a PS3 exclusive, the game is also coming to the Xbox 360.
