The Lost Gamer writes "The history of the Final Fantasy franchises now spans over two decades and it has been Square Enix's ability to continually innovate and introduce new aspects within each title that has allowed it to remain so fresh. Final Fantasy XIII marks the first time that a core game from the series has been released on the current generation of consoles, and also acts as the flagship title for the new Fabula Nova Crystallis collection of games – currently set to also include Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy Agito XIII.
Within the Final Fantasy series it is more often than not the compelling storyline and characters that occupy the core titles that prove to be the most popular element of the games amongst fans, and in this regard Final Fantasy XIII will certainly not disappoint."
