PS3 Center has some new details regarding Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

These details were revealed during the Square Enix event at Japan last week.

Here’s the details:

• First bit of information is that Noctis, who is the main character, is actually a prince. His father is the king of the “country that possesses the world’s only crystal.”
• This was already known, but the full name of Noctis is Noctis Lucius Caelum, and Stella’s name is Stella Knox Fleuret, who is a princess.
• There is a scene where Noctis’ father says that he “cannot become king,” so the story may be based around this concept. Noctis may be trying to overthrow his father for some reason.
• Although you only control one character, you can change between characters. So you won’t be playing as Noctis all the time.
• Finally, Noctis can use multiple weapons and swords

The game has no release date yet but is said to be well into development and is exclusive to PS3.

Square’s confirmed that a new trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be released for the public on Jan 20. It’s the same trailer which was shown during the closed door event in Japan today.

It’ll feature Noctis and gameplay footage from the game.

Versus remained a worldwide PS3 exclusive with no announcement being made of it going multi-platform during the event.

No release dates have been given yet yet.
