Whatever, the mode is final fantasy 13 has been designed to meet every exaggerated gamer expectation in the most fabulous way.  Square Enix, the game developers recently arranged a preview screening of the english version of the game in both Xbox 360 and playstation3 in London. Here’s a description of what’s waiting to be played.

The story guides through Coccoon, the float city platform of Final Fantasy. The characters, Lightning, Shiva and Odin are spellbinding in details and there are also amazing fantasy beings with whom the gamers will interact. There is a new battle system for Final Fantasy 13 and is a faster version of the active time bar system of the Final fantasy games. The ATB is divided into segments and the characters gain more segments in the ATB as the game proceeds. Each segment refers to an action move and the combination of segments comprises the complete action. Thus, the more advance you proceed, the deadlier your character’s attack becomes. There are two subdivisions in the action category of the command menu. The categories are manual and auto battle. In manual, the gamer can choose the manual moves. The Auto battle automatically devises up the battle command.

There is also an option to stagger the enemy by repeated assaults. An orange indicator atop the enemy head shows the stagger level. However, repeated attacks are required as the orange bar representing stagger always increases to show that the enemy is trying to recover itself.
