01Overview

Final Fantasy XIII is a single-player Japanese role-playing game and the thirteenth main entry in the Final Fantasy series. Combat uses a real-time variant of the series' Active Time Battle system, in which the player directs one lead character while the Paradigm system lets the party switch between combat roles such as attacker, healer, and support. Character growth is handled through the Crystarium, a grid-based progression system that unlocks abilities and stat bonuses. Set across the floating world of Cocoon and the wilderness of Gran Pulse, the game combines science fiction and fantasy elements with series staples like summoned creatures and airships. The story begins as a deepening crisis threatens Cocoon. A band of strangers is branded enemies of the state, and with the military after them and the population against them, they have no choice but to run. They set out to challenge the forces controlling their fate and prevent a catastrophe. The PC version supports full screen play at 60 frames per second, and both English and Japanese voice over are available. Difficulty can be adjusted and Steam Achievements are included.
