EGM #218: Fabula Nova Crystallis overview

[soul]

With the franchise celebrating it's 20th anniversary, EGM takes one step back and gives the readers the big picture of Square Enix's next-gen titles Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Although there's no new information provided in the scans it's still worth a read, so go ahead and view the following:

Just posted that already soul. Your help is appreciated but leave the FFXIII news to our site. You post your links in enough places anyway.

The latest issue of EGM has a section on the Fabula Nova Crystallis compilation celebrating Final Fantasy's 20th Anniversary. They have sections for both FFXIII and Versus and a summary of what we know so far. Although nothing new is included in the scans, it's a good read for someone who hasn't been following the compilation so far.

There hasn't been any release dates announced but EGM's predictions are a Summer 2008 release for FFXIII in Japan and a 2009 release for Versus. Thanks to Kyll from FF-XIII.net for the scans.

Yeah...that is old. Just think of Xenosaga and how you would activate a trap around the mob.

The only reason why traps were in Xeno was because of Gnosis. Which means.......

Or possibly Blue Dragon, where you can make the enemies fight eachother and you just mop up the left overs?
