Across the the bigger pond out west, Square Enix has shared more information about the upcoming release of Final Fantasy XIII with two of Japan’s major game publications.
Tetsuya Nomura , FFXIII’s character designer, told Famitsu there would be SIXAXIS support for Final Fantasy Versus XIII though not detailing exactly how it would be used in the game.

Speaking further on Versus with Dengeki, Nomura, who serves as the project’s director, noted the PS3’s power will allow for battles set in areas with great differences in height and the full environment around a player will be used in combat.

FFXIII’s director Motome Toriyama also spoke with Dengeki regarding  Final Fantasy XIII and explained the relationship between the Cocoon world of the game with the underworld. FFXIII’s story begins with an invasion of the Cocoon world by something from the land beneath it causing a panic. Inhabitant’s of the Cocoon world fear their world falling from the sky and fear the outside world even banishing those who’ve had outside influence.
Toriyama also said that the opening scene of the game will be the most intense of any of the Final Fantasy series and shall include an real-time battle scene surpassing the intensity of anything shown in trailers so far. He also promised more surprises as it related to the 20th anniversary of the franchise
