Players are now able to ‘stack’ actions, and the more you can stack will increase as you level up. Furthermore, in Final Fantasy XIII there are various different roles your heroes can command, such as healer and tank, and players are able to swap these roles during fights.

It goes without saying that the visuals in this title are amazing. Presentation has at all times been Square Enix’s crux, and the series has always supplied high range visuals. Being the first of the series to hit the next gen machines,Final Fantasy XIII is, no doubt, the prettiest looking videogame ever. The FMVs are so detailed and gorgeous you’ll wish to stare at them for hours, and the in-game visuals are good enough to compete with the FMVs of lesser games.

It may be a little different to what you’re used to, yet overall Final Fantasy XIII is just what everybody’s been ready for. Masterful combat, achingly gorgeous visuals and a guartenteed 60+ hours of gameplay mean Final Fantasy has returned with a vengeance. Let the adventure begin.
