According to Japanese magazine Gemanga, A few new details have come to light (finally! ^_^ ) about Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII.
Final Fantasy XIII
* The combat planner will be Toshiro Tsuchida, the same person who worked on FFX and creator of the Front Mission series.
* The blond man from the latest trailer will be wild but heroic, and his fighting style will be very humorous.
* It was reiterated that FFXIII will still use the White Engine... not the Unreal Engine.
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
* The combat system will be similar to Kingdom Hearts, but more realistic.
* Nomura wants to include elements of shooting gameplay, similar to Dirge of Cerberus... the point of view will change depending on the character's equipped weapon.
* An airship has been confirmed as being a part of the game.
* Nomura says that it would be too much work to do Kingdom Hearts 3 and Versus XIII at the same time, so development on KH3 will wait until FF Versus XIII is complete.
* Kingdom Hearts 3 will likely incorporate some of the gameplay elements developed for Versus XIII
* Versus XIII may be the last Final Fantasy Nomura will direct, as he wants to concentrate on the Kingdom Hearts series instead.
