The dragoon character briefly glimpsed for Versus XIII, appears as Aranea Highwind in Final Fantasy XV.įools set the rules in this world. The mysterious white-robed man from Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailers is in Final Fantasy XV as Ravus Nox Fleuret. Other characters glimpsed from trailers were Regis Lucis Caelum, the king and Noctis's father, and Iedolas Aldercapt, the leader of the enemy state of Niflheim. Noctis Lucis Caelum was the main character and remains such for Final Fantasy XV, and he was to be joined by party members Gladiolus Amicitia, Ignis Stupeo Scientia and Prompto Argentum, although all of them went through a redesign on both their outfits and their physical appearances. Most of the characters announced remain in redesigned forms for Final Fantasy XV, apart from Stella Nox Fleuret who was replaced by Lunafreya Nox Fleuret who shares some design elements from Stella. The game was to be an action RPG and the player was to be able to control vehicles, an airship included, and the game was to be fully seamless with a world map. Without Noctis the party couldn't use magic, as the ability was said to be intertwined with story elements, as powers were granted to those under the regal fellowship of the crystal. Gladiolus was said to wield heavier weapons easily while Prompto was planned with a third person aiming mode allowing for targeting enemy weak points that could not be hit when playing as Noctis. Playing as different characters meant engaging in their fighting style.

Like Kingdom Hearts, the standard active party size as demonstrated in the trailer was three characters. Party members were to have their portraits in little bubbles on the screen that displayed their battle stats, and it was said the player could switch between party members on a whim.

In addition to showing the common commands of Attack, Magic and Item, another option showed 'EX Arts', assumed to be some kind of Limit Break system or series of special attacks. The interface bore similarities to the menu system used in Kingdom Hearts. Some footage showed blood spilling from enemies when stricken. Noctis was shown wielding a myriad of weapons, teleporting, and even using a gun turret. Some gameplay was demonstrated in trailers ( see external links), but it is unclear whether the game ever had a fully playable form as the gameplay demonstrations appear to be scripted and possibly existed in 'proof of concept' stage.

The title instead passed to Hajime Tabata, known for directing Square's portable action role playing titles Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- and Final Fantasy Type-0. In E3 2013, the game was officially rebranded and re-announced as Final Fantasy XV, and in 2014 it was announced Tetsuya Nomura was no longer heading the project. Although Final Fantasy Versus XIII was unveiled then, it stayed in preproduction stage for years and there were long periods of media silence on its status, harboring much speculation among fans. The trio of games for the series then called Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy XIII was unveiled in 2006. However, Final Fantasy XIII-headed by Yoshinori Kitase and Motomu Toriyama-ended up becoming a series on its own, Final Fantasy Agito XIII-headed by Hajime Tabata-became Final Fantasy Type-0 for the PlayStation Portable that spanned its own world and series, and Final Fantasy Versus XIII-headed by Tetsuya Nomura-never took shape, and its concepts were eventually reworked into Final Fantasy XV for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Bearing many originating themes carried on into its succeeding game, the theme of Versus XIII was 'a fantasy based on reality', and the game was to take place in a setting similar to contemporary Earth. The game would have been an action role playing game directed by Tetsuya Nomura, known as a character designer and director of the Kingdom Hearts series, for which gameplay footage resembled. It was intended to be a companion game to Final Fantasy XIII alongside the mobile game Final Fantasy Agito XIII, the three sharing from the same Fabula Nova Crystallis mythos. Final Fantasy Versus XIII was a game planned for the PlayStation 3 as part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy series.
