Not much is known about the mobile-bound <em>Final Fantasy Agito XIII</em>, but the subtitle-less version of <em>FFXIII</em> will concern a gun-and-sword-toting heroine in a futuristic world, while <em>Final Fantasy Versus XIII</em> will focus on "a spiky-haired character," "extreme action elements," and a primary theme of "bonding" (whatever that means). Anybody ready to "resist the world"?<br /><br />The multiple titles might explain <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/03/31/rumor-final-fantasy-xiii-ps3-exclusive-at-e3/">the earlier rumor</a> reported in March that <em>FFXIII</em> was "practically close to being finished" (maybe only one of these games was nearing completion). Whatever the case may be, we're just happy that more than one not-so-<em>Final-Fantasy</em> will be hitting the next PlayStation in relatively rapid succession. RPG feasting: on the way.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/05/08/final-fantasy-xiii-announced-for-ps3/">Joystiq</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/05/08/3-final-fantasy-xiii-games-2-just-for-ps3/">3 Final Fantasy XIII games; 2 just for PS3</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 08 May 2006 22:05:00 EST.
