There’s a certain feeling you get in your body when you really want a game. I never got that feeling fromFinal Fantasy XIII. Final FantasyVersusXIIIis something else entirely. This is the kind of game my body can get behind.
For starters, I’m loving the look of the simple-yet-exciting real-time combat system, which appears to allow for both melee and projectile attacks. I’m also really into the way thatFinal Fantasy XIII Versusembraces the modern (and by modern, I mean post-GTA 3) trend in gaming towards real world environments, and juxtaposes it against a decidedly fantastic set of monsters, mechs, and hairstyles. Some of the mechs look like something out ofFinal Fantasy 3/6, and you can hop in one and cruise around what looks like the streets of Tokyo. Righteous.
It seems like Square-Enix is begging us compare this game toFinal Fantasy XIII-2, what with theVersusname and all. So from the looks of them, which are you more into,Final Fantasy XIII-2, orFinal FantasyVersusXIII?
