Square Enix brings us their next title in the beautiful and artistic Final Fantasy series which is actually the first game in a new sub-series called Fabula Nova Crystallis. The battle system in this release is stemmed from FFVII Advent Children, and will maintain the strategic nature of command-based battles. The completely new thing here will be a revamped Active Time Battle system which will allow the player to chain large numbers of commands together to produce combos and attack bonuses. However, the main difference from other titles is that only one player is controllable during battle. Some may think this would reduce game play complexity and involvement, but from what I have seen it will not be the case at all. Of course the cinematic scenes are absolutely astonishing, and the graphics are incredible as well. This title looks very promising and I am sure long time Final Fantasy fans and newcomers alike will be very pleased. For those of you into the mmo style, FFXIVOnline is in development and may be on the market late this year.
