Gamega magazine recently conducted an interview with Tetsuya Nomura aboout the upcoming Fabula Nova Crystallis titles.
Nomura stated that before the end of the year we will see real time battle gameplay from FFXIII. He also mentioned the long disc writing period required for a blu-ray release, which is why the demo will be required for completion in December.
Discussing Agito he mentioned the interface seen in recent screenshots is only temporary, and stated that the party size will increase from three.
In terms of Versus, "The Goddess Etro" mentioned during the conversation between Stella and Noctis is not the same goddess in the painting from Yoshitaka Amano.
Famitsu has posted many of the new screen shots from the scans on their website. They are direct feed screen shots, so their quality is much better than in the scans.
1UP has posted articles about all three of the announced Fabula Nova Crystallis games containing new details. The XIII and vs XIII articles both discuss the characters in their respective games, while the Agito article discusses the game mechanics and summons.
12 pages from Famitsu's Chinese magazine have been scanned in high quality. The scans feature the most recent screen shots from TGS and E3, as well as many completely new screen shots. There are some excellent images of the Agito battle system.
We recently reported about Mr. 33 cm's name as being "Snow", as revealed in a Shonen Jump Magazine, and we have the scans uploaded now.
Secondly, some new V Jump scans have surfaced. They have a few new images, however the image quality is not the greatest. Hopefully some better quality images show up at some point.
It wasn't long ago when we were shown the official Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII posters. Now, however, they are available for purchase on the Square Enix Official Goods website for 1000 yen.
The name of the character from FF XIII formerly known as Mr 33cm has been revealed in the latest issue of Shonen Jump. He is now known as Snow although it is unknown if this is a codename similar to Lightning.
A user from 104th.net who was able to view the Closed Mega Theater trailers has drawn some sketches of the new Final Fantasy XIII characters. The top-right two are the new FF XIII Characters.
Thanks to forum member Lone Wolf for bringing this to my attention.
Some of the audio from the Final Fantasy XIII trailer has been leaked. Conversation between Mr. 33 cm and Lightning can clearly be heard. Here is the translation:
Lightning: 'Carry out the mission' is what you said. You want to abandon it?
What about 'your' mission? Mr. 33cm: That's not it! I'll protect Sera and carry out the mission. That's a promise. Lightning: Show me you can 'protect'.
