If you’ve ever played a game in the Final Fantasy franchise there’s a very good chance you’ll want to get your hands on Square Enix’s latest Final Fantasy title, Final Fantasy XIII; and if you’ve never played a Final Fantasy game before now is as good a time as ever to start.

As usual the latest Final Fantasy has its own unique story totally independent from previous Final Fantasy storylines with the exception of a few familiar names and of course Chocobos! The main character is a woman who goes by the name Lightning; Lightning will be the first female who is the main protagonist in a Final Fantasy game (with exception to Luna in FFX-2, but we’re not counting that).  Square Enix have always created totally unique Worlds set in complete fantasy and the land known as “Cocoon” looks as if though it will be no exception.

Square Enix have also created a completely new fighting system which looks quite interesting indeed (check it out: http://www.finalfantasy13game.com/#/uk/news/15 ). From what can be seen in the game play videos Final Fantasy XIII’s combat is quite a bit faster than its predecessors and incorporates a new form of summoning which looks incredible visually.

Final Fantasy 13 is set for release during this month of March 2010 for the PS3 and Xbox360. Sony will be releasing a special limited edition Final Fantasy 13 PS 3 slim console bundle (pictured below); this was already released in the East as it has been out there for some time now.

I can carry on yapping for hours on why you should buy this game when it comes out, suffice it to say that Final Fantasy 13 will push your consoles graphic capabilities to the boundary of its known limits and this is definitely going to be a totally awesome and inspiring game.
