So first of, I know that this game has been out for some time. But I this is a series that I really like and I wanted it to be the topic of my first post.
First let me give you some quick background information about the game and the series. Every Final Fantasy game is set on its own universe, unless otherwise stated. For example, Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII are not connected to each other in any way. But, Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 are connected.
Final Fantasy XIII is set in a futuristic society and is set in a flying shelter called Cocoon which is under the Sanctums rule. Everything is provided for the people living there and everything is really peaceful. But it wasn't always like that. In the past there was a great war between Cocoon and the world below. The enemies of Cocoon are known as the fal'Cie. But there hasn't been any major conflict between the two groups for some time.
One day, a dormant fal'Cie is discovered inside Cocoon and all hell breaks loose. The people of Cocoon are consumed by fear and panic and choose to exile everyone that lived around the area where the fal'Cie was discovered.
The game allows the player to control a total of 6 characters through out the game. They are: Lightning, Snow, Hope, Fang, Vanille, and Sazh.
The characters have a hard time interacting with each other at the beginning of the game, but as time passes you can see how they develop a friendship. This makes the characters feel more human and less like dolls moving on your screen.
If you've played any of the Final Fantasy games and haven't played this one, I totally recommend it to you. This game is challenging and is another great game in a long line of fantastic stories.
