New FFXIII: Versus scans.

Wasn't sure where to put this.

• The game's cloud effects use real physics calculations
• The world is an open field, and you can go everywhere except for the mountains
• The battles are seamless
• The game's encounter system is both random and symbol-based (meaning you can see enemies in advance).
• The game's world is mostly seamless, although there are some load points when you switch between the massive areas.
• You can destroy objects that you find on the road.
• The quality of the combat scenes is so high that people will not be able to believe it when they first see it.
• The staff is excited about making the game.

Nomura also confirms that the screens in the magazine are all realtime, captured off the PlayStation 3 .

Note: I have no idea where these quotes come from. But whatever.

Looks like a complete flip of FFXIII's linearity and jRPG elements.

Wasn't sure where to put this.

Possibly here?

Well sure, that'd be one place to put it.
